The Lenovo network card with manufacturer number 4XC1R49623 is an integrated Ethernet adapter for PCs and servers, specifically designed for integration into ThinkStation systems. The device offers two 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports via RJ-45 connectors and enables a maximum data transfer rate of 10000 Mbit/s. The interface is via PCI Express, with the connection to the host system implemented through a PCI Express 3.0 x8 link. The card is designed for use in professional work environments and supports the IEEE 802.3an network standard, which defines the 10GBASE-T technology. This technology enables data transmission over existing copper cables (Cat 6a or higher), allowing for cost-efficient network expansion without extensive infrastructure changes.

Applications

The adapter is primarily intended for use in ThinkStation models, including the ThinkStation P3 Tower Gen 2, ThinkStation P3 Ultra SFF, ThinkStation P3 Ultra SFF Gen 2, ThinkStation P7, ThinkStation P8, and ThinkStation PX. It serves as an upgrade solution for systems requiring higher network bandwidth, such as in data centers, high-performance computing, or environments with high data throughput. The card is designed for use in server and workstation environments, where a stable, wired connection with high speed is required.

Features and Equipment in Detail

The card features two Ethernet LAN ports (RJ-45), each supporting a maximum transfer rate of 10000 Mbit/s. The wired transmission technology ensures a reliable and stable connection without the limitations associated with wireless solutions. The PCI Express host interface enables direct and fast communication with the system bus, minimizing latency. The card is integrated and installed in the corresponding systems, with physical mounting in a standard PCI Express slot.

Technology Explained Simply

The 10 Gigabit Ethernet technology (10GBASE-T) enables data transmission over copper cables at a bandwidth of up to 10 Gbit/s. This is particularly relevant for applications requiring large amounts of data to be transferred quickly, such as 3D model processing, video streaming, or virtual work environments. Support for the IEEE 802.3an standard ensures compatibility with other devices adhering to this standard. The PCI Express 3.0 x8 connection provides sufficient bandwidth to fully utilize the Ethernet interface without the host system bus becoming a bottleneck.

Compatibility and Accessories

The card is specifically designed for the mentioned ThinkStation models and is used in these systems as a replacement or upgrade component. Compatibility is limited to the ThinkStation P3 Tower Gen 2, ThinkStation P3 Ultra SFF, ThinkStation P3 Ultra SFF Gen 2, ThinkStation P7, ThinkStation P8, and ThinkStation PX. The card is not intended for other PC models or servers outside the ThinkStation series.

Installation and Mounting

Installation is performed by inserting the card into a free PCI Express slot in the system. The card is designed as an integrated component and does not require any additional external devices or adapters. Physical mounting is done by inserting the card into the slot and securing it with a screw fastener. The electrical connection is made via the PCI Express interface, with no additional power supply required. The card operates within temperatures of 0 to 55 °C and relative humidity of 0 to 90 %.

Operational Advantages

The card provides high network bandwidth of 10 Gbit/s, accelerating the transfer of large data volumes and improving system performance in data-intensive applications. The wired connection ensures a stable and uninterrupted network link, which is essential for critical work environments. Compatibility with ThinkStation models allows for easy integration into existing systems without additional configuration effort. Certifications FCC, CE, VCCI, KCC, RCM EMC, CB, BSMI, ICES-003 confirm compliance with international electromagnetic compatibility and safety standards. The card supports Windows operating systems, facilitating integration into existing IT infrastructures.
