| Available in 2-port 1GbE, 4-port 1GbE, and 2-port 10GbE. Ethernet is one of the most widely used interconnects in data centers as well as small and medium business environments. With connectivity speed up to 10GbE, an I/O module can cover various usage models, from scaling up a number of ports in the system to adding high speed 10GbE connectivity. | With Quad Data Rate (QDR) speeds, InfiniBand* modules match the high performance of Intel® Xeon® 5600 processor servers with high bandwidth and low latency I/O to improve storage performance. InfiniBand technology is based upon a channel-based, switched fabric, point-to-point architecture, mostly used as an interconnect in HPC clusters. | RAID modules add hardware-RAID capabilities similar to a standard RAID adapter card to Intel Server Boards and Intel Server Systems without consuming valuable PCI Express* slots. Add RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 capabilities with these cost-effective modules. Optional cache backup units are supported for mission critical environments. | Securely gain access and control servers on the network—any place, any time. Remote access includes remote management capability, including power control, KVM, and media redirection, with a dedicated management network interface card (NIC). | The latest Intel TPM now enables Intel® Trusted Execusion Technology (Intel® TXT) to enhance security on the server. Intel TXT is a hardware security solution protecting your IT infrastructure against software-based attacks by validating the behavior of key components within a server at startup. |
