## Long description

The StarTech 1-Port PCIe Gigabit Ethernet Server NIC Card ST1000SPEX2 is an internal network adapter that adds a single 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ45 Ethernet port to a PCI Express-enabled client, workstation or server. Designed for expansion or replacement of a wired network interface, this PCIe card is compliant with IEEE 802.3/u/ab standards and supports standard Gigabit Ethernet features to ensure compatibility with existing wired networks.
Advantages
This network adapter supports up to 1000 Mbit/s throughput and includes support for 9K Jumbo Frames, VLAN tagging and Wake-on-LAN (WOL), enabling efficient handling of large packets, network segmentation and remote wake capabilities. The card ships with both full-height and low-profile brackets for installation in a wide range of chassis, making it suitable for full-size systems as well as small form factor and rack-mount servers. Hardware compatibility with PCI Express slots and support for Auto MDIX simplify installation and cabling.

How to use
Power down the system and unplug it from mains power before installation. Open the computer or server chassis, locate an available PCI Express slot, and install the card into the slot until it seats securely. Choose the appropriate bracket (full-height or low-profile) based on the chassis and fasten the card in place. Close the chassis, reconnect power and network cabling, then boot the system. Install any required drivers provided by the operating system or available from the manufacturer to enable full functionality of features such as Jumbo Frames and Wake-on-LAN.
Usage recommendations
For optimal performance, use quality Cat5e or Cat6 cabling and configure network devices to support Gigabit speeds and Jumbo Frames where applicable. Enable Wake-on-LAN in both the system BIOS/UEFI and the operating system if remote wake capability is required. When installing in mixed-size environments, ensure the correct bracket profile is selected before fitting the card.
