Lenovo ThinkSystem Intel I350 1GbE RJ45 4-Port OCP Ethernet Adapter V2

4XC7A88428 (feature code BW97) is the ThinkSystem Intel I350 1GbE RJ45 4-Port OCP Ethernet Adapter V2. It has four 10/100/1000 copper ports with RJ45 connectors on an Intel I350 controller and uses the OCP 3.0 small-form-factor design, 76 mm wide and 115 mm deep. The OCP format adds Wake-on-LAN and NC-SI, so the server's service processor can share the network connection for out-of-band management.

The I350 family has a PCIe 2.0 x4 host interface, IEEE 802.3ab auto-negotiation across 1000, 100 and 10 Mb/s, 9500-byte jumbo frames, IEEE 1588 and 802.1AS time sync, 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet and DMA coalescing. Each port has eight transmit and receive queue pairs and eight virtual functions, with SR-IOV, VMDq, VEPA switching, MAC and VLAN anti-spoofing and storm control for virtualized hosts. PXE boot and iSCSI initiator support are available.

The first-generation card with the same four-port layout is 4XC7A08277 (B93E). For the standard-slot equivalent, the 7ZT7A00535 I350-T4 PCIe also carries four RJ45 ports. Cat 6 and Cat 5e copper cables are supported, including the 4X97A83980 to 4X97A83984 Cat6 28AWG series.
