Dual Port Copper Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express By*ss Server Adapter Intel® i350AM2 Based

Silicom’s Dual Port Copper Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express By*ss Server adapter is PCI-Express X4 Copper Gigabit Ethernet network interface card that is based on a single chip, non-Bridged Dual port GBE co*oller.

Silicom’s Dual Port Gigabit Ethernet By*ss server adapter supports Normal, Disconnect and By*s*odes. In Normal mode, the ports are independent interfaces. In By*s*ode, all *ckets received from one port are tran*itted to adjacent port. In Disconnect mode, the adapter simulates switch / rout cable disconnection.

In By*s*ode, the connecti* of the Ethernet ports are disconnected from the system and switched over to the other port to create a crossed connection loop-back between the Ethernet ports. Hence, in by*s*ode all *ckets received from one port are tran*itted to the adjacent port and vice versa. This feature enables to by*ss a failed system and provide*aximum up time for the network. In Disconnect mode, the adapter simulates switch / router cable disconnection. In Disconnect mode, the switch / router does no*tect link *rtner of the adapter.

Silicom’s Dual Port Copper Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express By*ss server adapters include an on board WDT (Watch Dog Timer) co*oller. The adapter’s software drivers or software application can write commands to the on board WDT co*oller.

 

The adapter’s software drivers, WDT co*oller and the By*s*ircuitry provide an interface that co*ol and manage the mode of the adapter. Silicom’s Dual Port Copper Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express By*ss Server adapter is the ideal solution for implementing multiple network segment*ission-critical high-powered networking applicati* and environments within high performance servers.

Silicom’s Dual Port Copper Gigabit Ethernet By*ss Server adapter is based on Intel i350 Dual port Gigabit Ethernet MAC+PHY of Intel Co*oller. The Silicom i350 support PCI-SIG Single-Root I/O virtualization and sharing specification (SR-IOV).
