D Link DGE 560SX Network adapter PCI Express x4 Gigabit Ethernet 1000Base SX 850 nm

The DGE 560SX Fiber Gigabit PCI Express x4 Adapter is a high performance network card that lets businesses take advantage of the PCI Express PCIe slots of their servers to enhance network performance with fiber optic connectivity. The PCIe architecture ensures dedicated inputoutput IO bandwidth for the adapter, ensuring high performance without bus sharing for Gigabit Ethernet connectivity in fiber optic networks. With fiber optic cable, distance can reach up to 550m and network speed 2000Mbps full duplex.The DGE 560SX supports 2Gbps transfer rate between the adapter's board and the server host. As a successor to the PCI and PCI X interfaces, the PCI Express serial bus eliminates many of the inefficiencies of parallel PCI and PCI X architectures. With lower pin counts and lower power consumption requirements, the DGE 560SX adapter also reduces system power requirements. PCI Express is backward compatible with PCI and PCI X addressing, which allows all existing applications and Operating Systems to function unchanged.The DGE 560SX adapter provides on board screening of VLAN tagged Ethernet frames compliant with IEEE 802.1Q. This allows the server to operate in a flexible and secure network configuration in a standards based environment. The adapter supports 802.1p Priority Queues for improved delivery of delay sensitive data such as voice and video.The DGE 560SX supports other advanced features such as Jumbo frames of up to 9KB and Promiscuous mode. It supports ACPI Advanced Configuration and Power Interface specifications to enable OS directed configuration and Power Management OSPM to enumerate and configure server motherboards. The adapter supports SNMP agent for management under an SNMP based platform.It is often difficult or impossible to schedule downtime on a server to replace or install peripheral cards. As a PCI Express card, the DGE 560SX provides native support for hot plugging and hot swapping, which makes it ideal for installation in a server
