Quad-port gigabit server adapter
This IBM X3850 49Y7949 card adds four gigabit Ethernet connections through a single PCI-E4X slot. It uses the Broadcom BCM5709C controller and ships with a full-profile bracket for standard server chassis. The unit is new and intended for rack-mount or tower systems that need expanded wired connectivity.
Suited for administrators adding multiple network
This adapter fits servers that have an available PCI-E4X slot and require four copper ports. It does not suit builds that need fiber uplinks, ten-gigabit speeds, or a low-profile bracket. Buyers who need more ports or a different form factor should look at other options.

Questions about this item
How can I verify the BCM5709C adapter is operating correctly after installing it in the X3850 server?
Check the port LEDs on the bracket; each of the four ports should show link and activity lights when connected to an active network.
Does the 49Y7949 adapter ship with any cables or brackets, or must they be purchased separately?
The card includes the full-profile bracket already attached; no cables are included, so Cat5e or Cat6 patch leads must be sourced separately.
