49Y7947 - IBM NETXTREME II 1000 Express DUAL-Port Ethernet Adapter

Description

The IBM 49Y7947, based on the Broadcom NetXtreme II BCM5709 controller, is a high-performance dual-port Gigabit Ethernet adapter designed to enhance network connectivity in enterprise environments. It utilizes a PCI-Express x4 interface, ensuring ample bandwidth for demanding network traffic. The inclusion of a low-profile bracket makes it suitable for installation in a wide range of server and workstation chassis, including compact form factors. This network adapter supports advanced features such as IEEE 802.3ad Link Aggregation, allowing for increased network throughput and redundancy by combining multiple physical links into a single logical link. It also offers Jumbo Frame support up to 9KB, which can improve network efficiency by reducing the number of packets processed for large data transfers. Wake-on-LAN (WoL) functionality is also included, enabling remote power-up of the system. With its dual Gigabit Ethernet ports, the 49Y7947 is ideal for server consolidation, network segmentation, and high-availability network configurations. It provides reliable and efficient connectivity for applications such as file sharing, virtualization, and network-attached storage, making it a valuable component for modern data centers and business networks.
