Green PCB network card with four RJ-45 ports and PCIe x4 edge connector

Axiom

Axiom 49Y4240-AX network card PCIe 2.1 x4 quad RJ-45 10/100/1000Base-T

SKU CH-S318-DSQFB MPN 49Y4240-AX

Adds four gigabit RJ-45 ports via a PCIe 2.1 x4 slot for server networking

  • Four RJ-45 ports deliver gigabit copper links to servers
  • PCI Express 2.1 x4 host interface provides ample bus bandwidth
  • Compact plug-in card fits 5.9" height and 2.2" depth slots
  • Lightweight 3.84 oz design eases server-density planning
  • Three-year limited warranty backs long-term deployment confidence

Quad-Port Server Adapter

The Axiom 49Y4240-AX is a PCI Express 2.1 x4 network card with four RJ-45 ports. It delivers 10/100/1000Base-T connectivity over twisted-pair cabling. The plug-in card form factor fits standard server expansion slots. It is built for administrators adding wired gigabit links to rack or tower systems.

Thermals and Power

The low-profile bracket measures 5.9 inches by 2.2 inches with a 0.6-inch depth. At approximately 3.84 ounces the card adds minimal weight to the chassis. Passive cooling relies on server airflow rather than an onboard fan. Power draw stays within the PCIe slot envelope for quiet operation.

Sustained Load Behaviour

Four independent gigabit ports share the x4 lane bandwidth for concurrent traffic. The server-grade component selection supports continuous packet processing without thermal throttling. Each port negotiates 10, 100 or 1000 Mbps automatically. The three-year limited warranty covers defects during extended deployment.

Questions about this item

How do I install the Axiom 49Y4240-AX into a PCI Express 2.1 x4 slot, and what step is often missed?

Insert the card firmly into a PCI Express 2.1 x4 slot until the bracket aligns with the chassis screw hole; the step often missed is securing the low-profile bracket with a screw so the four RJ-45 ports cannot shift under cable strain.

What maintenance or replacement will the Axiom 49Y4240-AX need during its service life?

The card has no moving parts or user-serviceable components; maintenance is limited to keeping the four RJ-45 ports dust-free and verifying link LEDs, while replacement would only occur if a port fails after the three-year limited warranty period.

What is the first throughput limit reached on the Axiom 49Y4240-AX under sustained 1000Base-T traffic across all four ports?

The PCI Express 2.1 x4 host interface provides the first ceiling; each 10/100/1000Base-T port can saturate at 1 Gbps, but the combined four-port load is constrained by the x4 lane bandwidth.
