## Summary description

The Digitus 10Gbps Dual Port Ethernet Server Adapter DN-10163 offers high-speed wired connectivity with a maximum data transfer rate of 10000 Mbit/s. It features a PCI Express host interface and is designed for efficient network performance in server environments. The adapter is available in green and silver colors.

## Long description

DN-10163 is a PCI Express 10Gbps dual-port RJ45 Ethernet server adapter based on the Intel X540 single-chip solution. It provides 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) connectivity over standard CAT-6a cabling with RJ45 connectors, offers backward compatibility with 1000Base-T networks, and supports unified networking for LAN, iSCSI and FCoE in a low-profile add-in card suitable for modern server platforms.
Advantages
The adapter delivers low-cost, low-power 10GbE performance with an integrated MAC+PHY single-chip design for reliable operation. It supports flexible I/O virtualization with up to 64 virtual ports for port partitioning and quality of service (QoS), and is compatible with common network and transport protocols including TCP/IP, UDP/IP, IPSec and iSCSI. The use of standard RJ45 cabling simplifies migration from Gigabit Ethernet.
Suitable for
Server network upgrades to 10 Gigabit Ethernet
Converged networking deployments (LAN, iSCSI, FCoE)
Virtualized environments requiring port partitioning and QoS
Data centre and rack-mounted server platforms with PCI Express slots

How to use
Install the DN-10163 into an available PCI Express slot on the server motherboard and attach the appropriate low-profile or standard bracket as required. Connect CAT-6a (or better) RJ45 cables from the adapter ports to the network switch or infrastructure. Install or update the server operating system drivers provided by the vendor or Intel to ensure full functionality for 10GBase-T, virtualization features and protocol offloads. Configure network settings, VLANs and QoS through the OS or management tools as needed for your environment.
Usage recommendations
For optimal 10GbE performance, use CAT-6a or higher cabling and ensure switches and network infrastructure support 10GBase-T. Apply the latest firmware and driver updates from the adapter manufacturer or Intel. When deploying virtualization or port partitioning, plan VLANs and QoS policies to match workload requirements.
