Product Description
The Lantronix NM2-GXE-2230-xx-01 and 01-D are 1 Gigabit Ethernet Fiber NICs supporting the PCI Express M.2
specification. They are designed to install in the Dell OptiPlex 7040 and 7050 Micro PCs and the Wyse 7040/7050 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.
See the Dell
OptiPlex 7040M Owner's Manual
for important notes, cautions, and warnings. Read the section “
Before
working inside your computer”
before proceeding.

Lantronix M.2 Gigabit Ethernet Fiber Network Interface Card (NIC) provides a fiber optic interface for the Dell OptiPlex™
7040 and 7050 Micro PCs and the Wyse 7040/7050 Series thin clients. The NM2-GXE-2230-xx-01 or NM2-GXE-2230-xx-
01-D consist of a M.2 NIC that installs into the OptiPlex Micro PC’s M.2 “E key” interface, a fiber optic adapter that installs
into the OptiPlex Micro PC’s Option port, and a 20-pin Flat Flex Cable (FFC) with right-angle bend that connects the NIC
to the fiber adapter. The fiber optic adapter is available with either a 1000Base-SX LC optic or open SFP (SFP module
sold separately).
