Product Description
The IBM 46K7971 is a network interface card designed to provide four Gigabit Ethernet ports via a PCI-Express interface. This configuration allows for high-speed network connectivity, crucial for servers and other high-demand computing systems that require significant network throughput and multiple connection points. This card functions as a Virtual Daughter Card (VDC), a design often employed in IBM server platforms to integrate components efficiently. The VDC approach can lead to a more compact system design and potentially improved airflow and thermal management within the server chassis. With its four 1Gb/s RJ-45 ports, the 46K7971 enables advanced networking configurations such as link aggregation for increased bandwidth, failover for redundancy, or connection to multiple distinct network segments. It is a key component for enhancing the network capabilities of compatible IBM servers.
