Dual-Port 10GbE Adapter for IBM Servers

The IBM 74Y3457 Emulex card adds two 10Gb SFP+ ports to compatible IBM System x and BladeCenter servers. It targets administrators who need higher throughput for virtualization, cloud storage or data-intensive workloads. The PCI Express 2.0 x8 interface provides up to 20Gbps total bandwidth. Hardware offload engines for iSCSI and FCoE reduce CPU overhead.

Verify Server Slot and Bracket Fit

Confirm the target server has a free PCIe 2.0 x8 slot and that the 6.60 × 2.71 × 0.80 inch form factor fits the chassis. The package includes both low-profile and full-height brackets; select the one that matches the server’s bracket standard. Ensure SFP+ transceivers and cables are sourced separately as they are not included. The card weighs 0.55 lbs.

Replaces Single-Port or 1GbE NICs

This adapter upgrades systems currently limited to a single 10Gb link or older 1GbE network interfaces. The jump is worthwhile when workloads demand dual-port redundancy, link aggregation or the 20Gbps aggregate bandwidth for SR-IOV and NPIV virtualization features. It suits IBM x3650 M4, x3550 M4, x240, x220 and HS23 platforms.

Questions about this item

Does the 74Y3457 card ship with both bracket sizes or only the low-profile one?

The card includes both low-profile and full-height brackets in the box. SFP+ transceivers and cables are not included and must be purchased separately.

My server has a PCIe 2.0 x8 slot — will the 74Y3457 run at full 10 Gbps per port?

Yes, the 74Y3457 uses a PCI Express 2.0 x8 interface that supports the full 10 Gbps line rate on each of its two SFP+ ports.

What total bandwidth does the dual-port 74Y3457 deliver inside an IBM System x3650 M4?

The adapter provides 20 Gbps aggregate throughput — 10 Gbps on each SFP+ port — when installed in a compatible PCIe 2.0 x8 slot.
