Functional Descriptions
The AT-ANC10S/2 network adapter is a new class of 10 Gigabit Ethernet
(10GbE) interface controller that is based on the Broadcom 57810 10Gb
network controller. It can perform accelerated Ethernet data networking
and storage networking simultaneously for all popular protocols used in
the data center, and includes features such as:

Data Center Bridging

SR-IOV
Enterprise networks that use multiple protocols and multiple network
fabrics benefit from the NICs ability to combine data communications,
storage, and clustering over a single Ethernet fabric and to boost server
CPU processing performance and memory utilization while alleviating I/O
bottlenecks.
The basic characteristics of the adapter is listed in Table 1.
Note
The maximum operating distances of the SFP+ slots on the adapter
depend on the transceivers. Contact your Allied Telesis sales
representative for a list of supported transceivers for the adapter.
As part of the company’s green range, the adapter is engineered to reduce
power consumption. It incorporates centralized power management
features that automatically place idle circuitry into a lower power mode to
save energy.
The AT-ANC10S/2 adapter, shown in Figure 1 on page 19, has two slots
for SFP+ modules that operate at 10 Gbps in full duplex mode. You cannot
change the speed or duplex mode of the transceiver slots. The maximum
operating distance of an SFP+ slot will vary depending on the SFP+
transceiver and type of fiber optic cabling.
The adapter has an PCIe x8 motherboard bus connector.
