The 46K7897 IBM 10GB Ethernet-Sr Pcie Adapter is a networking component designed for use in high-performance computing environments. It provides high-speed connectivity between servers and network switches, allowing for the efficient transfer of data. In this article, we will explain the various features, benefits, and usage of this adapter.
Features of 10GB Ethernet AdapterThe 46K7897 IBM 10GB Ethernet-Sr Pcie Adapter is a single-port adapter that supports Ethernet speeds of up to 10 Gbps. It uses the PCI Express 2.0 x8 interface and is compatible with IBM System x and BladeCenter servers. This adapter is designed to provide high-performance networking capabilities for virtualized environments, cloud computing, and other demanding applications.
One of the key features of this adapter is its support for virtualization technologies, such as VMware and Hyper-V. It supports Single Root I/O Virtualization (SR-IOV) and Virtual Machine Device Queues (VMDq), which help to improve the performance and scalability of virtualized workloads. SR-IOV allows virtual machines to directly access the physical resources of the adapter, while VMDq provides improved packet processing for virtualized environments.
The 46K7897 IBM 10GB Ethernet-Sr Pcie Adapter also supports Quality of Service (QoS) and jumbo frames. QoS allows network administrators to prioritize network traffic based on its importance, while jumbo frames enable the transmission of larger packets, which can help to reduce network overhead and improve performance.
BenefitsThe 46K7897 IBM 10GB Ethernet-Sr Pcie Adapter provides several benefits for data center administrators. One of the main benefits is its high-speed connectivity, which allows servers to communicate with network switches at speeds of up to 10 Gbps. This is particularly useful for applications that require large amounts of data to be transmitted quickly, such as video streaming, database replication, and data backup.
Another benefit of this adapter is its support for virtualization technologies, which can help to improve the efficiency and flexibility of data center environments. By allowing virtual machines to directly access the physical resources of the adapter, SR-IOV can reduce the overhead associated with traditional virtualization methods. VMDq, on the other hand, can improve packet processing in virtualized environments, which can help to reduce latency and improve performance.
The 46K7897 IBM 10GB Ethernet-Sr Pcie Adapter also supports QoS and jumbo frames, which can help to optimize network traffic and reduce overhead. QoS allows administrators to prioritize traffic based on its importance, while jumbo frames enable the transmission of larger packets, which can help to reduce the number of packets that need to be transmitted, thereby reducing network overhead.
UsageThe 46K7897 IBM 10GB Ethernet-Sr Pcie Adapter can be used in a variety of data center environments, including virtualized environments, cloud computing, and high-performance computing (HPC) clusters. It is compatible with IBM System x and BladeCenter servers, and can be easily installed into available PCI Express slots.
When installing the adapter, it is important to ensure that the server is powered off and disconnected from the network. The adapter should be carefully inserted into the appropriate PCI Express slot, and the retention bracket should be secured to prevent the adapter from coming loose. Once the adapter is installed, the server can be powered on and the appropriate drivers can be installed.
The 46K7897 IBM 10GB Ethernet-Sr Pcie Adapter is a high-performance networking component that provides single-port connectivity and supports Ethernet speeds of up to 10 Gbps. It is designed to provide improved networking capabilities for virtualized environments, cloud computing, and other demanding applications. By supporting virtualization technologies, QoS.

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.
