Key Features
Oracle's Sun x4 PCIe Quad Gigabit Ethernet Networking Cards offer high-density gigabit networking through a single PCI Express slot. Key features include quad gigabit Ethernet connectivity, support for 10/100/1000 Mbps autosensing Ethernet ports, and hardware assistance for TCP/UDP checksum, packet parsing, and interrupt coalescing. The cards support jumbo frames, link aggregation, and are fully compliant with IEEE 802.3 standards, enhancing bandwidth for efficient data backups.
Performance and Efficiency
The cards reduce CPU processing loads, mitigate network congestion, and enhance server efficiency through packet parsing and hardware checksum generation. They support seamless migration to Gigabit Ethernet technology while preserving existing infrastructures. Jumbo frame support reduces packet handling overhead, increasing throughput and reducing CPU utilization.
Benefits and Features
These cards provide high-throughput network connectivity, increased productivity, cost savings, and enhanced network security through departmental segmentation. They support quality of service (QoS) for mission-critical traffic and offer robust link protection through link aggregation.
Specifications
The cards feature 1000BASE-T/1000BASE-SX gigabit performance, support for IEEE 802.1Q VLAN, and QoS tagging. They offer RAS functionality for high availability and support redundancy and failover configurations. The cards are compatible with Oracle Solaris 10 and later versions, and support full- and half-duplex modes.
Technical Specifications
The cards are available as low-profile adapters for rack servers and ExpressModules for blade servers, featuring four Gb Ethernet ports and compliance with PCIe 1.0a specs. They operate within a temperature range of +32°F to +131°F and support various operating systems including Oracle Solaris, Linux, and Windows.
Certifications and Compliance
The cards are certified under FCC Class A, VCCI Class A, UL 60950, and other standards. They support IEEE 802.1Q VLAN, IEEE 802.1P, and 802.1D priority tagging and QoS, ensuring broad compatibility and compliance.
