Allied Telesis AT-ANC10SA/2-901 10GbE SFP+ PCIe Network Adapter
Overview
The AT-ANC10SA/2-901 is a single-port 10Gbps SFP+ PCIe network interface card (NIC) from Allied Telesis, built to meet Trade Agreements Act (TAA) compliance requirements for federal, state, and government-contract deployments. With PXE and UEFI boot support, it fits enterprise and government server provisioning workflows where remote OS deployment and modern firmware environments are required. If you're upgrading a server from 1GbE to 10GbE to support high-throughput video recording, storage backbones, or datacenter-adjacent workloads, the AT-ANC10SA/2-901 slots into a standard PCIe lane and accepts SFP+ transceivers for flexible fiber or DAC connectivity.
Compatibility
This adapter is compatible with servers and workstations equipped with a PCIe expansion slot. The SFP+ port accepts standard 10GbE SFP+ transceivers — short-range SR (multimode fiber), long-range LR (single-mode fiber), and passive or active DAC (direct-attach copper) cables — giving you flexibility to match your existing cabling infrastructure. Verify transceiver compatibility with Allied Telesis's qualified transceiver list before specifying third-party optics, as enterprise NICs frequently enforce vendor qualification at the driver level. TAA compliance makes this card eligible for GSA Schedule and other federal procurement vehicles where country-of-origin restrictions apply.
Installation Notes
Install into an available PCIe x4 or wider slot; the card will negotiate to the slot width available. PXE boot requires enabling the option ROM in the server BIOS/UEFI — confirm this is permitted by your imaging or provisioning stack before deployment. UEFI support means the card is compatible with Secure Boot environments, avoiding the legacy CSM mode requirement that can complicate federal hardened builds. Load the appropriate driver package for your OS; Allied Telesis publishes driver downloads through their support portal for Windows Server and major Linux distributions.
