How to use

Install the adapter into an appropriate PCI Express or ML2 slot in a compatible Lenovo ThinkSystem server following the server vendor’s hardware installation instructions. Connect each 10GBASE‑T port to your copper Ethernet network using Cat6A or better cabling to achieve full 10 Gb/s performance. After physical installation, install or update the server NIC drivers and firmware provided by Lenovo or Broadcom, then configure network settings in the operating system or management interface.

Recommendations

For reliable 10 Gb performance, use Cat6A or higher quality copper cabling and ensure switch ports and other link partners support 10GBASE‑T. Verify driver and firmware compatibility with your server model and operating system before deployment, and consider using both ports for redundancy or link aggregation where supported.
