Networking and PCIe 7
The Dell PowerEdge T320 offers balanced, scalable I/O capabilities, including integrated PCIe 3.0
capable expansion slots.
Embedded NIC controller
The T320 system board has one embedded NIC controller. The Broadcom 5720 Gigabit NIC chip is
connected to the platform controller hub through a PCIe 2.0 x2 link.
The Broadcom 5720 is a 14
th
generation 10/100/1000BASE-T Ethernet LAN controller solution
suitable for high-performance server applications. The Broadcom 5720 combines dual triple-speed
IEEE 802.3 compliant Media Access Controllers (MACs) with dual 10/100/1000 Ethernet transceivers
(PHYs), selectable individually per port, a network controller sideband interface (NC-SI), and an
on-chip memory buffer in a single device. The device provides a PCIe 2.1-compliant interface,
which operates at 5GT/s or 2.5GT/s x2 link width.
PCIe expansion
The T320 provides expanded PCIe slot capability over the previous servers. This is made possible by
the 24 PCIe lanes available from the processor. Dell designed the T320 to be PCIe 3.0-compliant in
order to take full advantage of the processor capabilities.
PCIe slots
PCIe connectivity is integrated with the processor. The T320 supports up to five PCIe slots.
PCIe expansion cards
The T320 supports a variety of PCIe expansion cards. Table 15 lists the supported add-in NICs and
HBAs for the T320.
