Lenovo 7ZT7A00482 Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet Adapters

The Broad com Net Xtreme Gigabit Ethernet Adapters are a family of high performance PCIe and OCP adapters. The adapters are available with either two ports or four ports and are supported on Think System and System x servers.

Did you know?
The NetXtreme Quad Port Ethernet Adapter is an ideal way to implement a virtualization solution using your existing Gigabit Ethernet network. With four copper-based Gigabit ports on a single PCI Express 2.0 x4 interface, the adapter provides the density and capacity you need to support large numbers of virtualized systems on one server.
