Intel X722 Integrated 10 GbE Controller for Lenovo
ThinkSystem
Product Guide
The Intel Ethernet Connection X722 is a network controller embedded into the Intel C624 "Lewisburg" PCH
chipset of Lenovo ThinkSystem servers. The controller connects to available 10 GbE and 1 Gigabit
Ethernet LAN-on-motherboard (LOM) adapter cards and onboard connectors to provide a comprehensive
1 GbE / 10 GbE networking solution for ThinkSystem customers.
ThinkSystem servers support either 10 Gb Ethernet copper or optical connections, or Gigabit Ethernet
connections depending on the server model.
The following figure shows the ThinkSystem 10Gb 4-port SFP+ LOM adapter which provides four SFP+
cages for optical or direct-attach copper (DAC) connectivity.

Did you know?
The Intel Ethernet Connection X722 shares the same driver package as the Intel X710 adapters making
driver management easier for existing customers.
ThinkSystem LOM adapters are cost-effective adapters that take advantage of the X722 controller
embedded in Intel Xeon Processor Scalable Family chipset and offer the flexibility advantages of a PCIe
adapter while supporting integrated networking features, such as Wake-on-LAN and direct connectivity to
the XClarity Controller management processor for NC-SI-compliant systems management.
