Chapter 1 Introduction
Meet the next gerneration interface - PCI Express dual / single port 10 Gigabit Ethernet
adapter can provide the best solution for one of the major issues of Local Area Networks -
communication speed. Hundred times as fast as the existing 100Base-TX solutions, using
the PLANET ENW-9801 / ENW-9802 to connect your servers and workstations guarantees
extremely high throughput and excellent signal quality.
The ENW-9801 / ENW-9802 is a PCI Express dual / single port 10 Gigabit Ethernet adapter designed to
address high-performance system application requirements. With the higher bandwitdh of x8, x4 PCI
Express Bus Architecture, ENW-9801 / ENW-9802 can provide better performance than the network
cards which base on 32 / 64bit PCI architecture. It is specifically designed to allow throughput at rates
up to 2.5Gbps, thus eliminating the existing 32/64bit PCI network card.
1.1 Package Content
