Allied Telesis AT-2911TA/2-901 Dual-Port Gigabit PCIe Network Adapter (TAA)

Overview

The AT-2911TA/2-901 is a dual-port 10/100/1000T PCIe Gigabit Ethernet adapter built for federal and government deployments where Trade Agreements Act (TAA) compliance is a procurement requirement. With two copper RJ-45 ports on a single PCIe card, it lets you add redundant or split network connectivity to a server or workstation without occupying two expansion slots. UEFI support means the card works cleanly in modern systems running Secure Boot environments — relevant for government and enterprise endpoints where legacy BIOS is no longer in play. If your deployment calls for a TAA-compliant NIC that installs in a standard PCIe slot and comes up correctly in UEFI firmware, the AT-2911TA/2-901 covers that requirement without added complexity.

Compatibility

Designed for servers and workstations with available PCIe x1 or wider slots. The dual RJ-45 ports connect to standard 10/100/1000BASE-T switched infrastructure — compatible with any 802.3 Gigabit Ethernet switch, including managed PoE switches used in IP security and access control deployments. UEFI compatibility makes this card suitable for current-generation Dell PowerEdge, HP ProLiant, Lenovo ThinkSystem, and equivalent government-grade rack servers running UEFI firmware. TAA compliance satisfies FAR 25.4 requirements for U.S. federal acquisitions — verify your specific contract vehicle requirements before ordering.

Installation Notes

Install into an open PCIe slot with the system powered down. The card draws power from the PCIe slot — no auxiliary power connector required for a standard dual-GbE adapter at this port count. Driver support should be confirmed against your target OS (Windows Server, RHEL, or equivalent) prior to deployment in production environments. UEFI mode must be active in system firmware for full UEFI feature compatibility; mixed UEFI/legacy BIOS systems may require CSM configuration adjustments.
