Dual-port Gigabit server adapter

The LR-LINK LREC9702ET is a PCI Express x4 network card built around the Intel 82576 controller. It provides two copper RJ45 ports running at 1000Mbps for servers or workstations that need a second Gigabit link. The low-profile form factor fits standard and low-profile slots, and the card supports iSCSI remote boot for diskless deployments.

Low-profile build with broad slot compatibility

A single x4 edge connector works in x4, x8 or x16 PCI Express 2.0 slots, whether the bracket is low-profile or full-height. Two front-facing RJ45 jacks carry link and activity LEDs for quick status checks. Wake-on-LAN is supported, and the operating range spans 0°C to 55°C with humidity up to 95% non-condensing.

Check slot width and OS driver support

Verify that your motherboard has a free PCIe x4, x8 or x16 slot and that the bracket height matches your chassis. Confirm driver availability for your operating system; the vendor lists Windows XP through Server 2012 R2, Linux kernel 2.6 and 3.x, FreeBSD 7.x, VMware ESX and several Unix variants. No other interfaces or transceivers are included.

Questions about this item

What speed does the PCIe 2.0 x4 interface cap the dual Gigabit ports at in practice?

The PCIe 2.0 x4 bus provides enough bandwidth for both RJ45 ports to run at their full 1000Mbps line rate simultaneously.

What bracket heights are included so the card fits in low-profile and full-height chassis?

The adapter ships with both low-profile and full-height brackets and is compatible with standard x4, x8 and x16 PCI Express slots.

How is the card installed, and which driver step is commonly missed on older Windows versions?

Insert the card into any x4, x8 or x16 PCIe slot, attach the chosen bracket, then install the Intel 82576 driver for the specific OS — Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8 or Server 2003/2008/2012 — otherwise the ports will not appear.
