Lenovo ThinkSystem Broadcom 5720 1Gb 2-Port RJ45 PCIe Ethernet Adapter

The Lenovo ThinkSystem Broadcom 5720 1Gb 2-Port RJ45 PCIe Ethernet Adapter, part number 7ZT7A00482, gives a server two gigabit copper ports on a Broadcom 5720 controller. Both ports use RJ45 connectors at 1GbE.

Broadcom 5720 is a common controller in servers, and cards like this one are bought to add ports or replace failed adapters. Two ports cover a basic redundant setup or a split between data and management networks. Twisted-pair cabling and ordinary switch ports are all you need.

The controller family matters for driver and firmware management. If your servers already run Broadcom drivers for onboard ports, a Broadcom card keeps the stack consistent. An Intel-based gigabit card with the same port count works too but brings a different driver set.

The adapter fits a PCIe slot. As a ThinkSystem-branded part, it follows Lenovo's numbering, so match the exact number from your server's parts list when replacing an installed card.

The 7ZT7A00482 is offered in new, refurbished and used condition. New and refurbished cards carry a warranty choice of 1 year or 3 years, and used cards carry 90 days. Send your quantity and server model with your request.
