Dual-port 10Gbps server adapter

The Emulex OCE10102-NM is a dual-port PCI-Express network card built for 10Gbps Ethernet connectivity in server and workstation environments. Two LC connectors accept SFP+ optics for fibre links. Protocol offload for stateless TCP/IP and TCP Chimney reduces CPU utilisation during heavy network traffic. This adapter targets IT teams deploying high-throughput storage or virtualisation clusters.

Passive thermal profile and x8 lane draw

The card installs into a PCIe 3.0 x8 slot and draws power solely from the bus, adding no external connectors or active cooling. Its passive heatsink keeps the controller within spec inside standard server airflow without generating audible noise. Power consumption scales with link utilisation but remains within the slot envelope, simplifying deployment in dense chassis where auxiliary power cables are unavailable.

Upgrade from single-port or 1GbE NICs

Replacing a single-port 10GbE card doubles available bandwidth for redundant paths or segregated traffic such as storage and management. Moving up from 1GbE adapters removes the bottleneck that limits virtual-machine density and backup windows. The jump is worthwhile when the switch fabric already supports 10Gbps and the workload saturates existing links.

FeaturesThe OCe10102-N is a high-performance, dual-port network adapter for 10Gbps Ethernet (10GbE) networks. Protocol offload for stateless TCP/IP and TCP chimney provide maximum bandwidth with minimum use of CPU resources. The OCe10102-N is a member of the Emulex OneConnect Universal Converged Network Adapter (UCNA) platform that also includes support for Fiber Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) and iSCSI protocol offloads. By using a common infrastructure for Ethernet and storage networks, data centers can reduce capital expense (CapEx) for adapters, switches and cables, and operational expense

Questions about this item

How do I install the Emulex OCE10102-NM into a PCIe 3.0 x8 slot and what step is often missed?

Insert the card firmly into a PCIe 3.0 x8 slot, secure the bracket screw, then attach the LC fibre cables; the step often missed is installing the specific driver package required to activate the TCP/IP offload and TCP Chimney features.

What maintenance or replacement will the Emulex OCE10102-NM need over time?

The SFP+ optics modules in the two LC ports are the primary replaceable components; clean the LC connectors with a fibre cleaning pen when inserting new modules and replace any module that shows persistent link errors or reduced receive power.

What limit appears first on the Emulex OCE10102-NM during sustained 10Gbps throughput?

The PCIe 3.0 x8 host interface provides the hard ceiling; sustained line-rate traffic on both 10Gbps ports simultaneously can saturate the upstream bus, making host bandwidth the first bottleneck.
