Lenovo 4XC7A08235

Overview

The Lenovo 4XC7A08235 is an Ethernet network adapter designed for ThinkSystem servers with an Open Compute Project (OCP) mezzanine slot. It provides four RJ-45 ports capable of 10, 100, and 1000 Mbps speeds, delivering up to 1 Gbps per port. Built on the Broadcom BCM5719 controller, this adapter ensures reliable wired connectivity in dense server environments where consistent network throughput is essential.

Connecting via a PCI Express 2.0 x4 interface, it supports twisted pair cabling commonly used in Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, and Gigabit Ethernet networks. This makes it compatible with existing copper cabling infrastructure without requiring changes to switches or cables. The adapter supports TCP/IP protocols and IEEE 802.1Q VLAN tagging, allowing for standard IP network operation and traffic segmentation.

This network adapter is well suited for rack-mounted servers that require multiple dedicated network connections for management, application traffic, or isolated services. It is particularly useful in virtualization environments where separate physical network paths improve workload separation and performance. Compliance with global safety and electromagnetic standards makes it suitable for enterprise data centers with strict certification requirements.

We act solely as a reseller. Any product warranty is provided and administered by the manufacturer, not by our store. That means eligibility, coverage, and outcomes are determined by the manufacturer’s policy for each brand and model. Before purchasing, we recommend reviewing the warranty terms on the manufacturer’s website or in the product documentation to confirm what is covered and for how long.

If you need warranty service, please file the claim directly with the manufacturer. They may require proof of purchase, the product serial number, original packaging, photos, or basic troubleshooting. Some brands ask you to register the product or obtain a case number before shipping it for repair or replacement. We don’t submit or approve claims, but we can point you to the correct support links and contact details.

Keep your invoice and packaging in a safe place, and report any functional issues to the manufacturer as soon as they appear. If you’re unsure whether a problem is covered, the manufacturer’s support team can confirm next steps and timelines. While we cannot intervene in decisions or outcomes, we’re happy to provide purchase documentation or guidance so you can move through the warranty process smoothly.
