Hassle-free operation

Troubleshoot your devices quickly and easily. Simply connect the crash cart adapter to your laptop using the included USB cable, then connect the integrated USB and VGA cables to your server.

The crash cart adapter features a flexible software interface that offers robust performance. It enables you to transfer files from your laptop to the server, monitor and capture activity from the connected device as video for records or instructional purposes, and take screenshots and scale the display window to full-screen mode or smaller, without scroll bars.

Compact portability

This compact crash cart adapter lets you connect to a headless device using only a laptop, eliminating the need to lug around an awkward, traditional server room crash cart. With optimal portability in mind for your mobile administration or repairs, this pocket-sized adapter features a small footprint and lightweight design that easily fits inside your laptop bag.

The adapter is USB powered so you won't need to carry a power adapter. Plus, the KVM cables are attached to the crash cart adapter so you won't need additional accessories to connect it to your server. The built-in cables have been engineered with strain relief, preventing them from wearing or breaking.

Universal connectivity

With no server-side software installation required, the USB crash cart adapter provides BIOS-level control of any PC or device that has both a VGA port and a USB port.

The NOTECONS02X is backed by a StarTech.com 2-year warranty and free lifetime technical support.

More from the Manufacturer

The 2-port 10Gbps OCP network interface card with the Intel X710-BM2 controller adds two open SFP+ slots to a server, increasing connectivity options and network performance.

OCP (Open Compute Project) Interface

The network adapter card uses the Open Compute Project (OCP) 3.0 (168-pin 4C+) connector, which was designed for servers to reduce size, increase port density, and provide hot-swappable capabilities for simplified maintenance and upgrades. The PCI Express Network Card is compatible with PCIe versions 3.0, 2.1, and 2.0.

10GbE and 1GbE SFP Support

This card supports 1000Base-T/SX/LX/EX and 10GBase-T/SR/LR/CR for various network configurations and distances. This is ideal for high-speed, low-latency connections such as those used in virtualization, data centers, and cloud computing. It works with any single-mode or multimode MSA-compliant or branded SFP or SFP+ module, active optical cable (AOC), or direct attach copper cable (DAC). Optical fiber allows longer cable runs than copper cabling while eliminating EMI.

Advanced Features

Network virtualization offloads reduce CPU overhead, increasing the efficiency of the virtualized network. PXE boot enables centralized OS deployment and updates. The card also supports 9K jumbo frames for reduced packet overhead and VLAN support for efficient network management. The card is compatible with Windows Server, Windows, and Linux.

This 4-port RJ45 1Gbps OCP 3.0 Network Interface Card (NIC) features an Intel® i350-AM4 Ethernet Controller, enhancing performance and data integrity. The Ethernet card adheres to OCP 3.0 standards and ensures broad compatibility, making it an ideal solution for reliable network connectivity and robust data transfer capabilities.

Optimized Network Efficiency

Leverage existing Cat5e/Cat6 cabling (or better) up to 100m to maximize existing networks and equipment. The NIC supports variable speed options (10/100/1000 Mbps) with auto-negotiation and 9K jumbo frames to reduce packet overhead, reducing network slowdowns.

Enhanced Hardware

This network adapter leverages the OCP 3.0 standard, a server-specific innovation, that optimizes size and port density while enabling simplified installation, maintenance, and upgrades of Field Replaceable Units (FRUs) through hot swapping. It's designed for the SFF form factor, aligning with W1 4C+ standards. The network adapter is compatible with both TSFF and SFF systems expanding compatibility with different server types.

Advanced Features

The Ethernet card supports Intel® vPro™ for remote management and troubleshooting, PXE boot for expedited deployment or updates, and VLAN support for improved traffic management and reduced network congestion. The NIC is compatible with Windows Server, VMware, and Linux and supports Single Root I/O Virtualization (SR-IOV) to enhance virtual machines' performance with minimal overhead. LAN transformers are included to maintain signal quality and reduce EMI, ensuring reliable communication up to 100m even when using Cat5e.

Add a 1GbE SFP module to a PCI Express (PCIe) 2.1 x1 (or higher) slot in an IT Administrator workstation or server backplane, using this 1-Port SFP Network Controller.

High Performance Intel Chipset

The network controller features an Intel I210 chip known for its reliability and high-performance capabilities, offering low-latency and low CPU utilization, ensuring smooth and efficient network data transfer, which is critical for business applications and services. Support for VMDq, SR-IOV, and Intel® VT-c technologies allow for enhanced virtual machine performance, reduced CPU overhead, and improved network virtualization capabilities. The PCIe network card supports PXE boot, enabling centralized operating system deployment and updates. It also features 9K jumbo frame support, reducing packet overhead for improved data transmission efficiency. VLAN tagging support allows for efficient network management and segmentation.

Hardware and Operating System Compatibility

The network interface controller connects to an available x1 PCI Express 2.1 (or higher) expansion slot. It is compatible with Windows Server 2012 and newer, Windows 10 and newer, Linux, VMware ESXi 7.x, and Microsoft Hyper-V. This NIC is compatible with both MSA-compliant and branded 1GB SFP modules, as well as direct attach copper cables (DACC). Includes a low-profile bracket designed for small form factor systems.

Flexible Network Connections

The card features an SFP slot for interchangeable SFP modules. Select fiber transceiver modules that best suit the network needs of the application, based on the distance and connector type. StarTech.com offers a wide variety of SFP transceiver modules to meet many GbE network applications.
