Introduction
The Transition Networks NM2-FXS-2230-SFP-01 is a 100-Base-FX Ethernet Fiber NIC supporting the PCI Express M.2
specification. It is designed to install in the Dell OptiPlex 7040 and 7050 Micro PCs and the Wyse 7000 Series thin clients.
M.2 is known as the “next generation form factor” and is a specification for internally mounted computer expansion
cards and associated connectors. Desktop PCs are being replaced by smaller computing devices (such as Thin Clients,
Micro PCs, Ultrabooks, and Tablets) which typically have internal M.2 interfaces but do not have PCI or PCIe slots.
Many users still need fiber Ethernet access, and without the external PCIe slot, there is no standard fiber interface on
these devices.
