M1E210G6SPi9 Express Module

6 Port Fiber SFP+ 10 Gigabit Ethernet ExpressModule Server Adapter

Silicom SFP+ 10 Gigabit Ethernet ExpressModule Server adapter is PCI-Express X8 Six SFP 10Gigabit Ethernet network interface card that can fit into a 3.5” HD form factor. The Silicom 10 Gigabit Ethernet ExpressModule Server adapter is the front I/O module in Silicom Server to Network Appliance Converter (SETAC) architecture.

Silicom’s SFP+ 10 Gigabit Ethernet ExpressModule server adapters are designed for Servers and high-end appliances. The performance is optimized so that system I/O is not the bottleneck in high-performance networking applications.

The Silicom SFP+ 10 Gigabit Ethernet ExpressModule server adapters are based on Intel 82599ES Ethernet controller with two fully integrated Gigabit Ethernet Media Access Control (MAC) and SFI ports. In addition to managing MAC and PHY Ethernet layer functions, the controller manages PCI Express packet traffic across its transaction, link, and physical/logical layers. Using hardware acceleration, the controller offloads tasks from the host, such as TCP/UDP/IP checksum calculations and TCP segmentation.

Silicom’s SFP+ 10 Gigabit Ethernet PCI-Express Server adapters are the ideal solution for implementing multiple network segments, mission-critical high-powered networking applications and environments within high performance servers.
