LR-LINK LREC9801BT 10GbE adapter

The LR-LINK LREC9801BT is a single-port 10 Gigabit Ethernet network card built on the Intel X540 controller. It connects through a PCI Express v2.1 x8 lane slot and uses a standard RJ45 connector for CAT-6a cabling. The card targets servers and workstations that need 10GbE over existing copper infrastructure.

Installation notes and common issues

The package includes both a low-profile bracket and a full-height bracket for different chassis types. A driver CD and quick installation guide are supplied, though current drivers should be downloaded from the vendor. The x8 lane requirement means the card needs a compatible PCIe slot; x4 physical slots will not provide sufficient bandwidth.

Pre-order checklist for your system

Verify that your motherboard or server has an available PCIe slot with at least x8 electrical lanes. Confirm the operating environment stays within the 0°C to 55°C operating temperature range and 0% to 90% non-condensing humidity. Ensure you have CAT-6 or CAT-6a patch cables ready for the RJ45 port.

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the LREC9801BT is working after installation?

Check the LED behaviour: off means no link, solid on means a 1Gbps or 10Gbps link is established, and blinking shows data activity on the RJ45 port.

What comes in the box and what must I source separately?

The package includes the adapter card, a driver CD, a quick installation guide, and a low-profile bracket; you will need to provide a Cat 6 or Cat 6a patch cable for the RJ45 connector.

Which bracket should I choose for my chassis?

Both a low-profile bracket and a full-height bracket are supplied, so you can fit the card into either a slim or a standard-height PCIe x8 slot.
