Product Details of the Dell R886R
The Dell Pro 1000 VT Quad Port Server Adapter LP PCI-E, also known by its product code R886R, is a network interface card (NIC) designed specifically for servers. The adapter can be installed on a server's PCI Express slot to provide four Gigabit Ethernet ports, allowing the server to connect to multiple networks simultaneously. In this article, we will delve into the features, benefits, and specifications of the R886R Dell Pro 1000 VT Quad Port Server Adapter LP PCI-E.
Features and Benefits
The R886R Dell Pro 1000 VT Quad Port Server Adapter LP PCI-E has several features that make it a suitable choice for servers. One of its key features is its quad-port design, which allows for four Gigabit Ethernet connections. This means that a single server can connect to multiple networks at the same time, providing greater flexibility and redundancy in case of network failures.
Another feature of the R886R Dell Pro 1000 VT Quad Port Server Adapter LP PCI-E is its low-profile design. This means that the adapter is designed to take up less space in a server chassis, making it suitable for servers with limited space. Additionally, the adapter is compatible with both full-height and low-profile server chassis, providing greater flexibility in server design.
The R886R Dell Pro 1000 VT Quad Port Server Adapter LP PCI-E also supports Virtual Machine Device Queues (VMDq), which is a technology that allows multiple virtual machines (VMs) to share a single physical network interface card. This means that the adapter can be used to support multiple VMs running on a single server, without the need for additional NICs.
In terms of performance, the R886R Dell Pro 1000 VT Quad Port Server Adapter LP PCI-E supports speeds of up to 1 Gbps per port, providing fast and reliable connectivity for servers. The adapter also supports Intel I/O Acceleration Technology (IOAT), which is a hardware-based technology that offloads data processing tasks from the CPU to the adapter. This can help to reduce CPU utilization and improve overall server performance.
