Placa de rede LevelOne GNC-0202 10 Gigabit Fiber PCIe 8X 2 x SFP

The LevelOne GNC-0202 is a 10 Gigabit fiber PCIe network card with a PCIe 8x host interface and two SFP ports. Designed for high-speed wired connectivity in servers and workstations, the card supports Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE), iSCSI remote boot and Wake-on-LAN, and includes Intel PROSet utility support for Windows Device Manager. Its aluminium housing aids durability and heat dissipation while maintaining compatibility with most network operating systems and IEEE time-sync standards.

Advantages

The GNC-0202 delivers 10 Gigabit fiber performance with Dual SFP ports for flexible optical connectivity. It supports advanced features such as load balancing across multiple CPUs and IEEE 1588/802.1AS time synchronization, enabling efficient utilization of system resources. Built-in Wake-on-LAN and iSCSI remote boot provide remote management options, and the Intel PROSet utility streamlines configuration within Windows environments.

How to use

Install the card into a free PCIe 8x (or higher) slot on a powered-off system, secure it to the chassis and connect SFP transceivers and fiber cables appropriate for your network. Install or update drivers and the Intel PROSet utility on supported Windows systems, then configure network settings, FCoE or iSCSI options as required by your environment. Enable Wake-on-LAN in the BIOS/UEFI and operating system if remote power control is needed.

Recommendations

Use compatible SFP/SFP+ transceivers and quality multimode or single-mode fiber cabling per your link budget. Ensure firmware and drivers are kept up to date and verify BIOS/OS support for iSCSI and Wake-on-LAN to achieve reliable remote boot and management.
