Introduction
The
Transition
Networks
NM2

GXE
‐
2230

xx
‐
01
and

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
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.
See
the
Dell
OptiPlex
7040M
Owner's
Manual
for
important
notes,
cautions,
and
warnings.
Read
the
section
“
Before
working
inside
your
computer”
before
proceeding.
