Features and Benefits

Designed specifically for the Sun X64 Blade Modular System, the Sun PCI-Express Dual Gigabit Ethernet Module lets you expand the Sun Blade system's high bandwidth connectivity one module at a time. Perfect for server-to-server or server-to-switch connections, it gives you two Gigabit Ethernet ports in one slot, conserving valuable 4xPCIe slots and providing a lower per-port cost.


Key Benefits

  • Faster transfers of data with increased bandwidth
  • High speed network throughput equals increased productivity
  • Easy installation provides reduced time to repair

Features

High speed network throughput

This module offers dual gigabit/sec MMF connectivity using a single 4xPCIe slot or a plug-in unit. That can give you a needed boost in performance for I/O-bound applications and redundancy for mission-critical data.

High performance features

Sun's Gigabit Ethernet Adapters give you 1 Gbps throughput, Jumbo Frames and Sun trunking support, as well as hardware TCP/UDP checksum generation. They provide full duplex copper- or fiber-based Ethernet connectivity, as well as voltage and temperature monitoring. The resulting high-bandwidth connection is ideal for today's high-performance network applications.

Easy installation and service, more uptime

Time to repair because you don't have to shut down and restart the system. It saves time and keeps your availability high.

Easy on your CPUs

The module's Jumbo Frames support accommodates larger packets (up to 9Kbyte), which helps your CPUs handle more computations. At the same time, its hardware assist for TCP checksum generation and checking, packet parsing, and interrupt coalescing reduce CPU processing overhead.

Full duplex capable

Near line-rate data transfers in both directions increases your network throughput.

IEEE Compliant

Broad compliance gives you more flexibility and a long life. These adapters are fully compliant with IEEE 802.3ab/802.3z standards as well as IEEE 802.1Q VLAN and 802.1P/802.1D Priority Tagging.
