73P4101 - IBM NETXTREME 1000 T+ Ethernet FAST Ethernet Gigabit 10/100/1000 BASE-T Network Adapter

Description

The IBM 73P4101, featuring the Broadcom NetXtreme 5703 chipset, is a high-performance Network Interface Card (NIC) designed to deliver reliable Gigabit Ethernet connectivity. Equipped with a single 1Gb/s RJ45 port, this card is suitable for servers and workstations that require fast and stable network access for data-intensive applications, network storage, or high-speed internet connectivity. The card supports data rates of 10, 100, and 1000 Mbps, ensuring compatibility with various network speeds while offering the capability for Gigabit throughput. Its interface is PCI-X 133MHz 64-bit, a standard prevalent in servers of its era, offering significantly higher bandwidth compared to older PCI interfaces. This ensures that the network card can keep pace with the demands of modern server workloads without becoming a bottleneck. The card supports full-duplex operation, allowing for simultaneous transmission and reception of data, effectively doubling the potential throughput of the connection. Compliance with IEEE 802.3ab (1000BASE-T) guarantees interoperability with standard Gigabit Ethernet infrastructure. This IBM NIC is engineered for reliability and manageability in enterprise environments. Features such as Wake-on-LAN (WoL) support allow for remote power-up of the system, simplifying network administration. While often supplied with a standard bracket, low-profile options may be available for specific server chassis requirements. The 73P4101 is a solid choice for upgrading or replacing network connectivity in servers that utilize the PCI-X bus, providing dependable Gigabit Ethernet performance.
