IBM 46M1076 2 x Ports 1Gb/s Ethernet Daughter Card for System X3550 M3 / X3650 M2 / X3650 M3

Product Description

The IBM 46M1076 is a specialized network interface card designed as a daughter card for select IBM System x servers. This card features two Gigabit Ethernet ports, each capable of operating at speeds of up to 1Gb/s. This dual-port configuration allows for increased network bandwidth, redundancy, or the ability to connect to multiple networks simultaneously, which is crucial for enterprise-level operations and demanding IT environments. Specifically designed for compatibility with the IBM System x3550 M3, x3650 M2, and x3650 M3 server models, the 46M1076 integrates seamlessly into the server's architecture. As a daughter card, it typically occupies a dedicated slot or connector on the server's motherboard, providing a clean and efficient way to add advanced networking capabilities without consuming standard PCIe slots. This ensures that valuable expansion slots remain available for other peripherals or components. By equipping IBM System x servers with the 46M1076, businesses can significantly enhance their network performance and connectivity. This is particularly beneficial for applications that require high-speed data transfer, such as storage area networks (SANs), high-performance computing clusters, or large-scale data processing. The addition of these two Gigabit Ethernet ports provides the necessary throughput and flexibility for modern data center demands.
