The IBM 00E2865 is a network interface card (NIC) designed for use in IBM servers. This particular NIC uses the PCI-E2 interface and has four Ethernet ports, two of which support 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GBE) using SFP+ transceivers, and the other two support 1 Gigabit Ethernet (1GBE) using RJ45 connectors. In this article, we will explore the various features and capabilities of the IBM 00E2865 NIC in detail.
PCI-E2 InterfaceThe IBM 00E2865 NIC uses the PCI-E2 interface, which is an upgraded version of the PCI Express (PCI-E) interface. PCI-E2 provides higher bandwidth and better performance than the original PCI-E interface. Specifically, the PCI-E2 interface used by the IBM 00E2865 supports up to 8 lanes, allowing for a maximum bandwidth of 40 Gbps in each direction.
Four Ethernet PortsThe IBM 00E2865 NIC has four Ethernet ports, making it ideal for use in high-performance servers that require multiple network connections. Each port can operate independently at different speeds and with different protocols.
Two 10GBE SFP+ PortsThe IBM 00E2865 NIC has two ports that support 10GBE using SFP+ transceivers. SFP+ is a small form-factor pluggable (SFP) transceiver that supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet. SFP+ transceivers are hot-swappable, which means they can be replaced without shutting down the server.
SFP+ transceivers support both optical and copper cables. Optical cables are ideal for long-distance connections, while copper cables are better suited for short-distance connections. The IBM 00E2865 NIC supports both types of cables, allowing for greater flexibility in network design.
Two 1GBE RJ45 PortsThe IBM 00E2865 NIC also has two ports that support 1GBE using RJ45 connectors. RJ45 connectors are the most commonly used type of Ethernet connector and are compatible with standard Cat5e and Cat6 Ethernet cables.
1GBE is the most common Ethernet speed and is suitable for most network applications. The 1GBE ports on the IBM 00E2865 NIC can also be used for management and control purposes, allowing for separate network traffic for these tasks.
Advanced FeaturesThe IBM 00E2865 NIC supports a number of advanced features that enhance its performance and reliability. These features include:
- TCP/IP Offload Engine (TOE): The TOE offloads the processing of TCP/IP packets from the server's CPU, improving network performance and reducing CPU utilization.
- Virtual Machine Device Queues (VMDq): VMDq allows for the efficient distribution of network traffic to virtual machines (VMs), improving overall system performance and reducing latency.
- Direct Cache Access (DCA): DCA improves network performance by allowing the NIC to directly access the server's CPU cache, reducing memory access latency.
- Interrupt Coalescing: Interrupt coalescing reduces the number of interrupts generated by the NIC, improving overall system performance and reducing CPU utilization.
Compatibility
The IBM 00E2865 NIC is compatible with a wide range of IBM servers, including the IBM System x3650 M4, x3550 M4, x3500 M4, and x3530 M4. The NIC is also compatible with a number of operating systems, including Windows Server, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, and VMware ESXi.
Overall, the IBM 00E2865 NIC is a high-performance network interface card designed for use in IBM servers.

About Refurbished Products
Warranty
ALLHDD guarantees that the products will not have defects in material that will affect the product's functionality during the Standard Warranty Period. The warranty period starts when the merchandise/items from our warehouse.
What does ALLHDD.Com warranty cover?
30-days to 3 years warranty:
Replacement or refund. In the case of material defects, we will try to replace the product first. The product will be replaced before the expiration of the original warranty. For any failure of hardware, if we cannot process the replacement of the product(s)/model(s), we will refund the original selling/invoiced price. The shipping costs and sales tax, if any, are non-refundable. ALLHDD retains the right to decide whether the item(s) will process for replacement or refund.
What is not covered by our warranty?
The reason why our warranty does not cover any problem caused by the following conditions:
(a) misuse of hardware; accidental damage; carelessness product(s) damage; shock; temperature beyond the specification of any product; faulty installation; operation; modification of goods;
(b) any misuse outside the instructions in the user manual for any specific product;
(c) damaged caused by other hardware or equipment. The warranty will void if the item is returned with physical damage, damage to the retail box, removed from the box, counterfeit labels/labelled by them, or any modifications of internal and external covers. Data loss or damages to any other equipment we do not cover by our offered warranty.
What is the Manufacturer/Brand Warranty?
In general, a manufacturer's warranty service/support is a written guarantee to the buyer of a product. Its terms assure the replacement or repair of the product, if necessary, within a specified period after the purchase (2-5 years depending on the brand/manufacturer). It is typically included in the price of the product. Products are brand new and sealed and the original manufacturer box is complete with the Manufacturer's genuine warranty. For most of the brand new/retail products that come with the manual and box, exceptions may apply (i.e., Cisco, Juniper Networks).
For the server parts (i.e., Dell, HPE) to get Full coverage of the warranty server must have a full 3- 5 years warranty. However, ALLHDD.COM will cover the warranty duration if any Manufacturer doesn't support the advertised warranty and there is no refund for those.
Final Sale items are non-returnable/refundable in any situation. Any question? please ask our team before the shipment.
