Microconnect MC-PCIE-I350-T2 interfacekaarten/-adapters intern RJ-45

The MicroConnect MC-PCIE-I350-T2 is an internal PCIe network interface card with dual RJ-45 ports, based on the Intel I350 family controller. Designed for enterprise and data-center environments, the card supports PCIe 2.1 and delivers Gigabit Ethernet connectivity with optimisations for virtualised and iSCSI Unified Networking workloads. The adapter incorporates power-saving technologies such as Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) and DMA Coalescing (DMAC), and has a typical power consumption of around 2 W. Compact and lightweight at approximately 30 g, it is suitable for systems requiring reliable wired network expansion and is compatible with DELL 3440 SFF/I7/16GB/512SSD/P1000/W10PRO/3Y.

Advantages

The MC-PCIE-I350-T2 provides robust Gigabit Ethernet performance using the bridgeless Intel I350 controller, delivering improved throughput and offload features for virtualised environments and iSCSI traffic. Low power operation and integrated energy-management features reduce operating costs. Its compact internal PCIe form factor and dual RJ-45 outputs make it easy to install in standard desktop and small-form-factor systems for increased wired network capacity.

Suitable for

• Adding Gigabit Ethernet ports to desktops and small-form-factor PCs
• Server or workstation network expansion in office and data-centre settings
• Virtualised environments and iSCSI Unified Networking use cases

How to use

Install the MC-PCIE-I350-T2 into an available PCIe x1 (or larger) slot on a powered-off motherboard, secure the card to the chassis, and connect network cables to the RJ-45 ports. After powering on the system, install the appropriate Intel or MicroConnect drivers for your operating system if they are not already present. Verify link status and configure network settings (IP addressing, VLANs, or iSCSI parameters) through the operating system or network management tools.

Recommendations

For stable performance in virtualised or iSCSI environments, use up-to-date drivers and firmware from the vendor, enable Energy Efficient Ethernet and DMA Coalescing where supported, and place the card in a PCIe slot that provides the required lane width and bandwidth. Ensure proper airflow in small-form-factor systems to avoid thermal throttling.
