The LENOVO ThinkSystem Broadcom 57416 10GBASE-T 2-port OCP Ethernet Adapter is a high-performance networking solution designed specifically for Lenovo ThinkSystem servers, such as the SR630V2 and SR650V2. Leveraging the powerful Broadcom BCM57416 controller, this adapter delivers dual 10 Gbps connectivity over copper RJ-45 ports with full backward compatibility to 1 Gbps Ethernet (1000BASE-T).

Built in the OCP 3.0 form factor, this adapter utilizes a PCI Express 3.0 x8 interface for seamless integration with Lenovo server architectures. It supports advanced virtualization technologies including SR-IOV (up to 128 virtual functions), NIC partitioning (NPAR), vSwitch acceleration, and multiqueue networking features like NetQueue and VMQ to optimize performance in virtualized environments.

Additional networking enhancements include tunnel and overlay offloads supporting VXLAN, NVGRE, Geneve, and GRE encapsulation and decapsulation, ensuring efficient data traffic management in modern data centers. Broadcom TruFlow technology enhances flow processing, while standard checksum and segmentation offloads help reduce CPU overhead.

The adapter supports Network Controller Sideband Interface (NC-SI) for coordination with server management processors, improving management path efficiency where applicable. Package contents include the Ethernet adapter and documentation, backed by Lenovo's comprehensive driver and firmware support.

Ideal for data centers demanding robust 10G Ethernet connectivity, this network card offers reliability, broad compatibility, and cutting-edge performance features tailored for Lenovo ThinkSystem environments.
