Description
Product Overview of Dell QME2742-DELL
The Dell QME2742-DELL Dual Port PCI-E 3.0 X8 32Gbps X740c/mx840c Mini Mezzanine Adapter is a high-speed networking adapter that provides connectivity between server systems and network infrastructure. The adapter supports 32Gbps data transfer rates and is designed to work with the Dell PowerEdge MX840c and M640 servers.
Dual Port PCI-E 3.0 X8 Adapter
A Dual Port PCI-E 3.0 X8 adapter is a high-speed networking interface that provides connectivity between server systems and network infrastructure. The X8 interface provides eight lanes for data transfer, which allows for high-bandwidth connectivity between systems. The PCI-E 3.0 specification supports data transfer rates up to 8GT/s per lane, which results in a total data transfer rate of 64Gbps for an X8 adapter.
Mini Mezzanine Adapter
A Mini Mezzanine Adapter is a compact form factor networking adapter that is designed to fit into the mezzanine slots of a server. Mezzanine slots are expansion slots that are typically found on blade servers and provide connectivity for networking adapters and other expansion cards. The mini mezzanine form factor is smaller than the standard mezzanine form factor, which allows for more expansion options in servers that have limited space for expansion cards.
Features
The Dell QME2742-DELL Dual Port PCI-E 3.0 X8 32Gbps X740c/mx840c Mini Mezzanine Adapter is designed to provide high-speed connectivity for Dell PowerEdge MX840c and M640 servers. The adapter features two 32Gbps data transfer rate ports that provide a total data transfer rate of 64Gbps. The adapter is also designed to support RDMA over Converged Ethernet (RoCE) and iWARP, which are protocols that optimize data transfer rates over high-speed networks.
The adapter is designed to support Ethernet, Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE), and iSCSI protocols. Ethernet is a standard protocol that is used for networking, while FCoE is a protocol that allows Fibre Channel traffic to be encapsulated in Ethernet frames. iSCSI is a protocol that allows for the transmission of SCSI commands over TCP/IP networks.
The adapter is also designed to support VLAN tagging, which is a feature that allows for the segmentation of network traffic. This feature is useful for separating different types of network traffic, such as data and voice traffic.
Benefits
The Dell QME2742-DELL Dual Port PCI-E 3.0 X8 32Gbps X740c/mx840c Mini Mezzanine Adapter provides several benefits for server systems. The high-speed data transfer rates provided by the adapter allow for faster data transfer between servers and network infrastructure, which can improve the performance of applications and services that rely on network connectivity.
The adapter’s support for multiple protocols, including Ethernet, FCoE, and iSCSI, provides flexibility in network connectivity options. The adapter’s support for VLAN tagging allows for the segmentation of network traffic, which can improve network security and performance.
The adapter’s mini mezzanine form factor allows for more expansion options in servers that have limited space for expansion cards. This feature can be particularly useful in blade server environments, where space for expansion cards is often limited.
