Unfortunately, 10Gtek was unable to provide us with two X550-T1 cards so we had to pair it with one of the X550-T2 cards we have here. CONFIDENTIALITY. This Agreement and the Materials are Intel confidential information and subject to Your valid corporate non-disclosure agreement with Intel (CNDA). Except as authorized in Section 2.1, you must not disclose this information to anyone, including the U.S. government. This Agreement will not become effective, or will automatically terminate, in the absence of a CNDA. Note: IEEE 802.3bz has been the official ratified standard of 2.5g and 5.0 link speeds for over 5-years now. Maximizing File Transfer Performance Using 10Gb Ethernet and Virtualization (Linux* and VMware vSphere*) The X550 seems like a logical choice over the X450 with driver support lasting through to 2029, and it uses less power with a more convenient PCIe3x4 connection.

For my case, I have tried to install Intel 82599ES 10 Gigabit lan card (PCIE Gen2 X8) into TS251D (PCIE Gen2 X4) See Advanced driver settings for 10/25/40 Gigabit Ethernet Adapters for more information on configuring the individual driver settings listed below. Intel® PROSet for WindowsDevice Manager includes an Advanced tab with Settings options and definitions: Just to avoid your confusion on my question - I have switched from Windows, and I am now using Linux (because Drivers and OS do not matter to this request!). Effect of Termination. Upon termination of the Agreement, the licenses to You will immediately terminate and You must cease using the Materials and destroy all copies in your possession and direct Your subcontractors to do the same. Termination of this Agreement will not terminate the CNDA.

When copying a file from one system to another (1:1) using one TCP session, throughput is significantly lower than doing multiple simultaneous TCP sessions. Low throughput performance on 1:1 networks is because of latency inherent in a single TCP/IP session. A few file transfer applications support multiple simultaneous TCP streams. Some examples are: gFTP*and FDT*.So.... the IEEE 802.3bz firmware "feature" upgrade from the draft Nbase-T, was promised by Intel in year 2015 (at Intel's x550 product launch) - And the IEEE 802.3bz standard was ratified in year 2016 - But, I can't find that firmware anywhere, now 6 years later in year 2022? The default setting is optimized for common configurations. Changing this setting can improve network performance on certain network and system configurations. I wrestled with the idea setting up 10gig without a switch and ran into nothing but problems. Since you do have a switch, you should be ok using that. Most advanced configuration settings and definitions are described in the table below. For the latest settings information, go to the Advanced tab in Intel PROSET for Windows Device Manager. This graph is intended to show (not guarantee) the performance benefit of using multiple TCP streams. These are actual results from an Intel® 10 Gigabit CX4 Dual Port Server Adapter, using default Advanced settingsunder Windows 2008* x64.

It does work truly that PCIE X8 card install in PCIE X4 open end slot and work properly if the driver / OS is supported properly. But it is also true that the speed would become slower. Enables Receive Side Scaling (RSS). RSS balances receive traffic across multiple CPUs or CPU cores. This setting has no effect if your system has only one processing unit. Notes Enable Jumbo frames only if devices across the network support them and are configured to use the same frame size. When setting up Jumbo Frames on other network devices, be aware that different network devices calculate Jumbo Frame sizes differently. Some devices include the header information in the frame size while others do not. Intel®adapters do not include header information in the frame size.Preliminary-Draft Nbase-T upgrade to official IEEE 802.3bz MGIG firmware, as confirmed above by Intel, DOES NOT EXIST in full compliance, and, On Linux* OS environments, the NBASE-T has been supported since NVM* version 1.55 and Linux ixgbe driver version 4.3.9. The QNAP OS needs to have a working driver for it in the linux kernel. QNAPOS supports most Emulex, Mellanox and intel cards. Governing Law; Jurisdiction. This Agreement is governed by USA and Delaware law without regard to conflict of laws principles. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply. Except for claims for misappropriation of trade secrets or breach of confidentiality obligations, all disputes and actions arising out of or related to this Agreement are subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts in Wilmington, Delaware and you consent to personal jurisdiction in those courts.

Third-Party Software. Your use of any third-party software is subject to Your compliance with the license You obtain directly from that third-party. A listing of any such third-party software may be in a text file accompanying the Materials. Is IEEE 802.3bz integrated into an NVM image for X550; if so, which one and where is its release notes that specifically say 802.3bz now supported?Flexible I/O virtualisation for port partitioning and Quality of Service (QoS) of up to 64 virtual ports. The Windows* drivers support the NBASE-T technology, but only in Autosense. 2.5GbE or 5GbE cannot be set as default, but if the signal degrades from 10GbE, it will automatically switch as long as the link partner supports those speeds. Assignment. You may not assign Your rights or obligations under this Agreement without Intel’s prior written consent. No third party will have any rights under this Agreement. YES, the X550-T2 supports NBase-T cross-compatibility with ALMOST ALL IEEE 802.3bz devices/features, now enabled in Windows 10/11 drivers v26+ with NVM firmware v3.6+.. Provides 2.5 GbE and 5.0 GbE link speeds over CAT5e/CAT6 cabling deployments. Firmware upgradable to IEEE 802.3bz(1)
