  • Gigabit networking over standard twisted-pair cabling
  • Single-port design keeps server I/O focused
  • PCI-X host interface for high-throughput servers
  • Low-profile plug-in card fits dense chassis
  • Lightweight 2.68 oz construction eases installation

IBM NetXtreme 1000 T Gigabit Ethernet Adapter

The IBM NetXtreme 1000 T is a single-port Gigabit Ethernet adapter built for PCI-X server slots. It provides a 1000Base-T connection over twisted-pair cabling for IBM eServer xSeries systems. This plug-in card adds wired network capacity where onboard ports are insufficient. It suits administrators upgrading legacy rack or tower servers.

Thermals noise and power draw in normal use

The low-profile plug-in card draws minimal power from the PCI-X bus during typical operation. Passive cooling relies on server chassis airflow across the compact 6.6 by 2.5 inch circuit board. No onboard fan means silent operation inside a properly ventilated enclosure. Power consumption scales with link activity at gigabit speeds.

What the bundled accessories

The adapter ships as the card only with no cables, brackets or installation media included. Driver support is provided by the server operating system for the Broadcom-based controller. No proprietary management utilities or firmware bundles are supplied in the package. Configuration is handled through standard OS network tools.

Questions about this item

How do I install the PCI-X Gigabit Ethernet Adapter in my server, and what step do people often miss?

Insert the plug-in card firmly into an available PCI-X slot until it seats completely, then secure the bracket screw; the step many miss is attaching the bracket screw, which keeps the card from working loose under vibration.

What maintenance or replacement will the NetXtreme 1000 T adapter need over its service life?

No scheduled maintenance is required; if the twisted-pair port or the PCI-X interface fails, the entire plug-in card is replaced as a single unit.

What is the first limit I will hit on the 1000Base-T port during sustained heavy traffic?

The 1000Base-T twisted-pair link caps throughput at 1000 Mbps full-duplex, so sustained wire-speed loads will saturate that bandwidth before any other adapter limit appears.
