Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What performance speeds does the PR22GI-NETWORK-CARD support? +
The PR22GI-NETWORK-CARD is designed for high-bandwidth connectivity, supporting speeds of 2.5Gbps, 1Gbps, and 100Mbps. It leverages NBASE-T technology to deliver multi-gigabit performance over standard Cat5e or Cat6 cabling, allowing you to upgrade your network throughput without needing a full cabling infrastructure overhaul.
Which chipset is integrated into this StarTech.com 2-port NIC? +
This network card features the reliable Intel I225-V controller. Choosing an Intel-based NIC ensures high compatibility, robust driver support across various operating systems, and advanced features like Intel virtualization technologies, making it an excellent choice for desktop workstations or entry-level servers requiring stable, high-speed data transfers.
Is the PR22GI-NETWORK-CARD compatible with my current operating system? +
The card is widely compatible with most modern operating systems, including Windows, Linux, and VMware ESXi environments. Because it utilizes the well-supported Intel I225-V chipset, users typically benefit from seamless plug-and-play functionality, though we recommend checking for the latest driver updates from the manufacturer’s support portal to ensure optimal stability and feature set performance.
Can I install this card in a low-profile computer chassis? +
Yes, this card includes both full-height and low-profile mounting brackets in the box. This dual-bracket design ensures that you can successfully install the NIC into various form factors, including standard desktop towers, small-form-factor (SFF) PCs, or compact server chassis, providing maximum flexibility for your hardware deployment needs.
Does this card support advanced network features like Jumbo Frames? +
This network interface card supports advanced features including 9K Jumbo Frames, which can help increase throughput and decrease CPU overhead during large file transfers. It also handles IEEE 802.1Q VLAN tagging and PXE boot, making it highly effective for managed business networks that require robust traffic segmentation and remote booting capabilities.
How does the dual-port configuration benefit my network deployment? +
The dual-port design allows you to connect a single workstation or server to two separate network segments simultaneously or enable link aggregation for increased redundancy and fault tolerance. This is particularly useful in environments where maintaining constant network uptime or isolating traffic between two distinct subnets is critical for business operations.
What type of PCIe slot is required for this NIC? +
The card requires a standard PCI Express x4 slot or higher to achieve maximum performance. It is backward compatible with various PCIe generations, but ensure that your motherboard has an available lane with sufficient bandwidth to avoid bottlenecks when running both ports at full 2.5Gbps capacity simultaneously.
Is this network card suitable for professional server environments? +
While the card uses the consumer-grade Intel I225-V controller, it is perfectly suited for desktop workstations, home labs, or entry-level server applications. It provides the essential high-speed connectivity needed for data-heavy tasks, offering a cost-effective alternative to more expensive server-specific NICs while still maintaining the rigorous performance standards required for modern professional IT environments.
