Dell THGMP Intel I350-T4 Quad-Port 1GbE PCIe Server Network Adapter – 4x RJ-45, PCIe 2.1 x4

Four Gigabit ports in one slot for network separation, teaming and appliances.

The Dell THGMP is an Intel I350-T4 quad-port Gigabit server adapter with four RJ-45 ports on a PCIe 2.1 x4 interface. It suits Dell PowerEdge servers running virtualization, firewalls or multi-network workloads that need reliable, well-supported Intel networking with SR-IOV.

Why Servers Run Out of Network Ports

Firewalls, virtualization hosts and multi-homed servers often need more network ports than the onboard LAN provides, for separate management, storage, backup and production networks.

The THGMP adds four Gigabit RJ-45 ports in a single PCIe slot. Ports can be teamed for bandwidth and failover, or assigned to separate VLANs and virtual switches.

It uses standard drivers supported by major operating systems and hypervisors, so it drops into existing builds with minimal configuration.

Key Features and Offloads

The THGMP supports intel I350 controller, SR-IOV, VMDq, Energy Efficient Ethernet, PXE/iSCSI boot and teaming. These capabilities reduce CPU overhead and improve consistency for virtualization hosts, firewalls and multi-network servers.

Installation and Compatibility

It connects through a PCI Express 2.1 x4 and is designed for Dell PowerEdge servers with a free PCIe x4 (or wider) slot. Supported media: cat5e/Cat6 copper.

How to Install the Dell THGMP

1. Power down the server, disconnect power, and open the chassis following the server documentation.
2. Install the adapter in a free 2.1 x4 or wider slot and secure the bracket.
3. Connect cables or transceivers (Cat5e/Cat6 copper) to your switch, then power on the server.
4. Install or update the latest drivers and firmware for your operating system or hypervisor, then configure IP addressing, teaming, VLANs or RDMA as needed.
