Asustor AS-T10G3 10GbE and Dual M.2 NVMe PCIe Card

Bring 10GbE and NVMe Together The Asustor AS-T10G3 combines a 10GbE RJ-45 network port with two M.2 NVMe SSD slots on one PCIe 3.0 x4 expansion card. It gives a supported NAS a practical route to faster wired connectivity and additional NVMe storage without choosing between the two functions. The Marvell AQC113 controller supports automatic speed negotiation with compatible networks. SSD use, achievable transfer speeds and installation depend on the NAS model, ADM version, drives and the rest of the network. Highlights One RJ-45 port supporting up to 10GbE Two M-key 2280 NVMe SSD slots PCIe 3.0 x4 host interface Lockerstor bracket preinstalled; full-height and half-height brackets included ADM 4.2 or later on a supported NAS Key Features Networking and NVMe Together A single card adds both network and storage connectivity. Use supported SSDs for the storage or cache functions available on your NAS; SSDs are purchased separately. A Flexible Copper Ethernet Link Supports 10/100/1000/2500/5000/10000Mb/s auto-negotiation, 16K jumbo frames and checksum offload. Faster line rates require compatible switches, cabling and connected devices; they do not guarantee application throughput. Check the NAS Before Installation Supported models are AS6704T, AS6706T, AS6804T, AS6806T, AS6808T, AS6810T, AS6504RD, AS6504RS, AS6512RD, AS7112RDX, AS7116RDX, AS7212RDX, AS7216RDX and AS7224RDX. The card requires the correct slot, bracket and ADM support. Installing AS-T10G3 disables S3 sleep on the supported NAS. Designed for the Installation The card includes heatsink cooling and alternative brackets. Follow the model-specific installation guide and use the correct thermal arrangement for any installed SSDs. Summary AS-T10G3 is a focused upgrade for a compatible ASUSTOR NAS that needs both 10GbE and M.2 NVMe connectivity. Confirm the NAS, slot and ADM support before planning the upgrade. Frequently Asked Questions Can I Install It in Any NAS with a PCIe Slot?ExpandCollapse No. Use the explicitly supported ASUSTOR NAS models in the description. A physically similar PCIe slot does not establish firmware support, storage functions or bracket compatibility. Are the NVMe SSDs Included?ExpandCollapse No. The card has two M-key 2280 NVMe slots; suitable SSDs are purchased separately and must be compatible with the NAS. Will It Work with a Slower Ethernet Switch?ExpandCollapse The port supports automatic negotiation across 10/100Mb/s and 1/2.5/5/10Gb/s. The actual link speed depends on the switch port, cable and connected equipment. Do the Network and SSD Functions Share One Slot?ExpandCollapse Yes. AS-T10G3 combines both functions on one PCIe 3.0 x4 card. Overall application performance also depends on the NAS processor, storage workload and connected network. Which Brackets Are Supplied?ExpandCollapse The Lockerstor-specific bracket is preinstalled, with full-height and half-height brackets included. Use the bracket and procedure specified for the NAS chassis. Does the Card Affect NAS Sleep Mode?ExpandCollapse Yes. The manufacturer states that S3 sleep is unsupported when AS-T10G3 is installed. Plan power settings accordingly; other functions remain subject to the NAS and ADM version. 続きを読む
