Converged Network Adapter X550T2BLK by Intel Corp X550

The Intel Corp X550T2BLK Converged Network Adapter X550 is a high-performance networking solution designed for data centers and enterprise environments. It combines Ethernet and Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) capabilities into a single adapter, allowing for efficient data transmission and reduced cabling requirements. This adapter is ideal for organizations looking to streamline their network infrastructure while maintaining high-speed connectivity and reliability.

The adapter supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet speeds, ensuring fast data transfer rates for demanding applications such as virtualization, cloud computing, and high-performance computing. It also supports FCoE, which enables Fibre Channel traffic to be carried over Ethernet networks, reducing the need for separate Fibre Channel infrastructure. This makes it a versatile option for environments that require both Ethernet and Fibre Channel connectivity.

Designed for compatibility with Intel's C620 series chipsets, the X550T2BLK is suitable for use in servers and storage systems that support these platforms. It requires a PCIe 3.0 x8 slot for installation and is compatible with operating systems such as Windows Server, Linux, and VMware ESXi. The compact form factor ensures it fits well in standard server chassis without taking up excessive space.

The adapter comes with a single-port design and includes necessary drivers and firmware for setup. It is typically used in blade servers or rack-mounted systems where space and performance are critical factors. Users should ensure their system meets the required hardware and software specifications before installation to avoid compatibility issues.
