Add 10 Gigabit connectivity to your server or high-powered workstation with the D-Link
DXE-820T Dual Port 10 Gigabit Ethernet PCIe Adapter. It is a high performance network
adapter which combines 10GBase-T with high-speed PCI Express 2.0 x8 interface. The DXE-820T
oers increased bandwidth over standard Cat 6a cabling without the need to overhaul your
infrastructure wiring or invest in a costly upgrade to bre. Furthermore, the PCI express interface
oers increased bandwidth, reliability and functionality compared with standard PCI network
cards. It is specically designed to allow throughput at rates up to 40 Gbps, thus eliminating the
bottleneck that exists with current 32 and 64-bit PCI bus architectures.
Advanced Features and Security
The adapter features onboard screening of 802.1Q VLAN tagged Ethernet frames, allowing you
to assign multiple subnets to each server and isolate devices within each VLAN from the rest
of the network for better trac control and security. With support for advanced features such
as 802.3x ow control, jumbo frames, and SNMP for network management, the DXE-820T can
easily interoperate with your current networking equipment.
Performance and Reliability
The DXE-820T increases network throughput by utilising PCI Express bus architecture. With
Smart Load Balancing™, the DXE-820T congures multiple adapters to work as a team, sharing
trac and ensuring data reliability. This creates both a faster network and provides fault
tolerance resulting in a stable and ecient network.
Checksum Ooading
The DXE-820T features TCP, UDP, and IP checksum ooading functionality, which transfers
the checksum processing tasks from the computer’s CPU to the network card. The DXE-820T’s
ability to handle the checksum processing means that the CPU’s processing power can be used
for other tasks while still achieving 20 Gbps network speeds.
