Lenovo ThinkSystem 10Gb 4-port 10GBASE-T LOM

The Lenovo 7ZT7A00549 is a network adapter that installs in the LAN-on-motherboard slot of a ThinkSystem server and presents four independent 10GBASE-T ports. Each port can move data at up to 10 gigabits per second, so backups, virtualization traffic, and large file transfers flow without the delays that appear on slower links.

Built around the Intel Ethernet Controller X557, the card integrates cleanly with Windows Server, VMware ESXi, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, and SuSE Linux. Administrators can place it into a new rack-mounted node or use it to refresh an existing system that needs more throughput. Because the ports negotiate down to 1 Gigabit Ethernet, the adapter can plug into legacy switches today and shift to full 10-gigabit infrastructure later.

In practical terms, this card suits database hosts, virtual machine clusters, hyper-converged setups, and any workload where bandwidth and low latency translate directly into performance. Remote Monitoring (RMON) support allows proactive tracking of network health, while compliance with RoHS and FCC Part 15 A helps meet data-center standards. Lenovo includes a one-year warranty, giving extra confidence when rolling the adapter into production.
