Advanced I/O Module (AIOM) Gigabit Ethernet Adapters

The Supermicro® Advanced I/O Module (AIOM) is the latest form factor designed to provide a wide range of networking options as well as other I/O technologies. The GbE adapter AOC-AG-i4(M) is the most flexible and scalable GbE solution providing 4 RJ45 ports. Based on the Intel® network controller i350, and with performance-enhancing features, power management technologies, the AOC-AG-i4(M) provides a quality networking choice for datacenters while reducing CPU utilization and power consumption. With the added NC-SI feature, this adapter also functions as a secure networking port for server remote management.
