IBM 49Y4241 server / storage / networking hardware Server Hardware / Parts

The IBM 49Y4241 is an Intel Ethernet I340-T4 Quad Port Server Adapter, a PCIe 2.0 x4 card built on the Intel 82580 Gigabit Ethernet controller, providing four RJ45 1000BASE-T copper ports on a single card for IBM System x servers. The quad-port design lets a single PCIe slot carry four independent Gigabit links, supporting network segmentation, server consolidation and dedicated links for production, management or backup traffic without needing four separate single-port cards. System x servers fitted with this adapter family remain in widespread production use, and a genuine, correctly profiled (full-height or low-profile) replacement adapter is a routine requirement when restoring network connectivity after a card failure or adding port density to an existing server. Specifiers should confirm the low-profile or full-height bracket variant needed for their chassis before ordering. Tech-Star (UK-based, shipped worldwide) supplies the 49Y4241 for engineers maintaining System x network connectivity.
