06310205

What is the BOM 06310205 network card and what are its primary specifications?

This is a 100G Ethernet network interface card with a 64-bit architecture, featuring dual QSFP28 ports and a PCIe 3.0 x16 host interface. It carries Vendor ID 15b3 and Device ID 1017-2, and includes BPPM EICX5S2P support. No driver CD is included with the package.

Which host bus interface does this card require and what is its lane configuration?

The card uses a PCI Express 3.0 interface with an x16 lane width, providing sufficient bandwidth for 100G throughput. It is designed for standard server PCIe slots that support Gen3 x16 electrical and mechanical specifications.

What optical transceivers and cabling are compatible with the dual QSFP28 ports?

The dual QSFP28 ports support standard 100G optical modules and direct-attach copper (DAC) cables, including:

• 100G SR4 / LR4 / CWDM4 optical transceivers
• QSFP28 to QSFP28 passive or active DAC cables
• QSFP28 to 4x SFP28 breakout cables for 25G per lane

Is driver installation required and what about the missing driver CD?

This card does not ship with a driver CD. Drivers are readily available for download from the chipset vendor's official support portal using Vendor ID 15b3 and Device ID 1017-2. Standard operating systems including Linux and Windows Server natively support this device ID, and the BPPM EICX5S2P firmware is pre-integrated for out-of-box operation.
