The Intel I/O Expansion Modules may contain design defects or errors known as errata which may cause the
product to deviate from published specifications. Current characterized errata are available on request.
Intel Corporation server baseboards contain a number of high-density VLSI and power delivery components that

need adequate airflow to cool. Intel ’s own chassis are designed and tested to meet the intended thermal
requirements of these components when the fully integrated system is used together. It is the responsibility of the
®
system integrator that chooses not to use Intel developed server building blocks to consult vendor datasheets and
operating parameters to determine the amount of air flow required for their specific application and environmental
conditions. Intel Corporation cannot be held responsible if components fail or the server board does not operate
correctly when used outside any of their published operating or non-operating limits.

2.4 Intel® I350 Gb Ethernet Controller
The Intel® Ethernet Controller I350 is a single, compact, low power component that supports
quad port and dual port gigabit Ethernet designs. The device offers four fully-integrated gigabit
Ethernet media access control (MAC), physical layer (PHY) ports and four SGMII/SerDes ports
that can be connected to an external PHY. The I350 supports PCI Express* (PCIe v2.1
(2.5GT/s and 5GT/s)).
The device enables two-port or four-port 1000BASE-T implementations using integrated PHYs.
It can be used for server system configurations such as rack mounted or pedestal servers, in an
add-on NIC or LAN on Motherboard (LOM) design. Another possible system configuration is for
blade servers. Here, the I350 can support up to four SerDes ports as LOM or mezzanine card.
It can also be used in embedded applications such as switch add-on cards and network
appliances.
