Chapter 1 Introduction

Thank you for purchasing PLANET ENW-9801 PCI Express 10 Gigabit Ethernet adapter. It supports x4,
x8, x16 PCI Express interface. The 10 Gigabit Ethernet adapter provide a highly cost-effective solution to
upgrading to the 10 Gigabit network with your existing Ethernet infrastructures.
Next Generation Server Adapter for growth and expansion of net working environments
The ENW-9801 PCI Express 10G Ethernet adapter is designed to address high-performance system
application requirements. With the innovative PCI Express Bus Architecture, the ENW-9801 provides
better performance than the network cards based on 32/64bit PCI architecture. It provides the best
solution for one of the major issues of Server Farm Networks - communication speed. Ten times faster
than the existing 1000Base-SX/LX solutions, PLANET ENW-9801, designed to connect your servers and
workstations, guarantees extremely high throughput and excellent signal quality.
10 Gigabit Performance Boosts Network Traffic
PLANET ENW-9801 Single-Port 10 Gigabit Ethernet server adapter is an optimal solution for Ethernet
applications by providing low-power budgets and small form factor. It offers simple integration into any
PCI Express x8 server slot via one SFP+ slot. The onboard controller featured on the ENW-9801
integrates embedded technology and a 10GbE MAC into a single chip that offers up to 10Gbps of
network throughput. PLANET Network solution greatly reduces the TCP/IP packet processing tasks of
the server’s CPU by performing enhanced data-handling algorithms, thereby providing nearly 10Gb line
speed performance with the simplicity of a conventional Network Interface Card (NIC).
