Description

The Sun/Oracle 7070195 Quad-Port GbE PCIe 2.0 Low Profile Adapter, UTP is an enterprise-grade network interface adapter designed to provide four 1Gb Ethernet copper network ports through a PCI Express 2.0 interface.

Oracle’s official documentation identifies the product as the Sun Quad Port GbE PCIe 2.0 Low Profile Adapter, UTP and provides dedicated installation, administration, product-notes, safety, and security documentation for the adapter.

The adapter is particularly suited to enterprise servers, storage appliances, and infrastructure platforms requiring multiple Gigabit Ethernet connections from a single PCIe expansion card.

Oracle’s ZFS Storage Appliance documentation specifically identifies 7070195 as a 4-port 1Gb Ethernet copper UTP NIC, with support for installation as an optional front-end networking adapter.

Four-Port Gigabit Ethernet Connectivity

The 7070195 provides four independent 1Gb Ethernet ports, allowing a compatible server or storage system to establish multiple network connections using a single PCIe adapter.

Four-port connectivity can be useful for enterprise environments where multiple physical network interfaces are required for purposes such as:

  • Network segmentation
  • Management connectivity
  • Application traffic
  • Storage traffic
  • Redundant network paths
  • Infrastructure expansion
  • Multi-network server configurations

The exact network configuration depends on the operating system, server platform, network switches, and system architecture.

1Gb Ethernet Copper Connectivity

Each port provides Gigabit Ethernet connectivity over copper UTP cabling.

Oracle documentation identifies the adapter as a 4-port 1Gb Ethernet Copper UTP NIC.

This makes the 7070195 appropriate for conventional enterprise Ethernet networks using compatible copper network infrastructure.

PCI Express 2.0 Interface

The adapter uses a PCI Express 2.0 host interface, providing the connection between the network adapter and the compatible server or storage system.

The low-profile PCIe design is intended for supported enterprise chassis and expansion configurations where a low-profile adapter is required.

Before installation, users should verify:

  • Available PCIe slot
  • PCIe generation compatibility
  • Physical clearance
  • Low-profile bracket requirements
  • Server qualification
  • Operating-system support

Low-Profile Design

The low-profile form factor allows the adapter to be installed in compatible systems designed for low-profile PCIe expansion cards.

This is particularly useful in compact enterprise server and storage chassis where full-height expansion cards may not be suitable.

The adapter should nevertheless be matched to the appropriate server configuration and mounting hardware before installation.

Oracle Enterprise Storage Applications

Oracle documentation lists 7070195 as an optional recommended front-end network adapter for the Oracle ZFS Storage Appliance ZS3-4. The ZS3-4 documentation lists a maximum of four 7070195 adapters in the relevant PCIe configurations.

This demonstrates its intended use in enterprise storage networking environments in addition to general server networking.

Solaris Support

The adapter has dedicated Oracle documentation covering installation and administration under the Oracle Solaris ecosystem. Oracle’s product documentation library specifically provides a Sun Quad Port GbE PCIe 2.0 LPA, UTP User’s Guide and related product notes.

Available hardware references also identify Solaris 10 8/11 as a minimum Solaris operating-system level for the adapter and specify the igb(7D) device driver.

Customers should verify operating-system and driver requirements for their particular system configuration before deployment.

Network Expansion

The 7070195 is an effective solution when a compatible enterprise server needs additional physical Ethernet interfaces.

Instead of installing separate single-port adapters, the four-port design provides multiple Gigabit Ethernet connections from one PCIe expansion card. This can help maximize available PCIe slots and simplify network-interface expansion.

Potential uses include:

  • Additional production network ports
  • Network management interfaces
  • Redundant Ethernet connections
  • Segmented network environments
  • Storage appliance front-end networking
  • Server network expansion
  • Legacy enterprise system maintenance

Enterprise Data-Center Applications

The adapter is designed for professional IT infrastructure rather than consumer desktop networking.

Its four-port configuration makes it particularly useful in environments where multiple physical network connections are required, including:

  • Enterprise data centers
  • Server rooms
  • Oracle/Sun infrastructure
  • Storage environments
  • Virtualized server infrastructure
  • Network service platforms
  • Legacy system support
