Product ID: ST1000SPEXD3
The ST1000SPEXD3 PCI Express Dual Port Gigabit Server Network Adapter Card (PCIe NIC) lets you add two gigabit Ethernet ports to a client, server or workstation through a single PCI Express slot. Each port provides 10/100/1000 Mbps capable Ethernet and is fully compatible with IEEE 802.3/u/ab standards.
Suitable for any standard PCI Express-enabled system, the 2-port Ethernet card supports full-duplex flow control for maximum data transfer speeds of up to 2000 Mbps - an ideal single card, dual NIC solution for setting up dual-homed, or multi-homed host configurations providing added security to corporate networks.
The dual port server adapter is compliant with the PCIe 2.0 standard and features support for Jumbo Frames and 802.1q VLAN tagging as well as Wake on LAN (WOL). The adapter includes an optional low profile bracket that can be used for installation into a standard or low profile computer chassis.
Backed by a StarTech.com 2-year warranty and free lifetime technical support.

When you troubleshoot issues with a network adapter, there are some quick tests that you can complete to rule out potential problems. You can test to make sure that the following components are working correctly and are not the source of the issue:
To test your setup components, try the following:
When you test your cables, it is recommended that you do the following:

Sometimes an on-board network interface card (NIC) conflicts with a new NIC. In these cases it is best to disable the on-board NIC.
The best way to disable your on-board NIC is to go into your BIOS and disable it there if possible. To do this, consult your motherboard manual.
You can also disable any NIC in Windows. Here is how you do this:
First click Start, or, in Windows 10 and 8, hold down the Windows key and press X. Then click Control Panel.

If you are experiencing speed or connectivity issues, it is best to set a specific speed at half or full duplex in your settings. You can set your network adapter to perform at a certain speed, but the device that the adapter is connected to (whether it is a router, switch, or computer) must also be able to perform at the same speed.
Note: You must log in as the local administrator before you continue.
To open Device Manager:
StarTech.com does not support a Preboot Execution Environment (PXE) as this requires third-party software. However, our devices can be used as long as the following conditions are met:
Virtual local area network (VLAN) tagging requires that the network interface card (NIC) and the router or switch that you use support protocol IEEE 802.1q.
Depending on the NIC, you can set your VLAN ID in Device Manager. Not all NICs that support VLAN tagging have this option.

To open Device Manager:
Setting up your VLAN Tagging and Setting a VLAN ID
How you perform this task depends on your router or switch. Consult the manual or manufacturer of your router or switch for more details.
In your router or switch, you can VLAN tag a device by the VLAN ID if you set one previously, or by the MAC address of the computer. Your router or switch will list all IP devices by MAC address.

The drivers on our website include a Realtek Diagnostic Toolkit that you can use to easily set up a VLAN tag.
