Lenovo ThinkSystem Mellanox ConnectX-4 Lx 10/25Gb 2-Port SFP28 PCIe Ethernet Adapter

A ConnectX-4 Lx controller with two SFP28 ports rated at 10/25Gb is the content of the Lenovo ThinkSystem Mellanox ConnectX-4 Lx 10/25Gb 2-Port SFP28 PCIe Ethernet Adapter, part number 4XC7A08249. The card installs in a standard PCIe slot, and the controller is named Mellanox in the title.

This is an earlier-generation controller, and it is mostly bought to replace failed cards in servers that were configured with it. In that situation, matching the controller keeps driver and firmware management unchanged.

Dual-speed ports let the card work with 10Gb or 25Gb switches, which helps in the middle of a network upgrade. Two ports provide redundancy or separate networks. SFP28 optics and direct attach cables are not included, so choose them to match your switches and cable lengths.

The PCIe form differs from the OCP module that uses a similar controller, which carries another part number. Confirm your server's slot type first.

Offers for this part are refurbished and used. Refurbished cards carry a warranty choice of 1 year or 3 years, and used cards carry 90 days. No new offer is listed. Send your quantity and server model to request pricing.
