Edimax EN-9320TX-E V2 10 Gigabit Ethernet Adapter

Revision V2 is a single-port, NBASE-T-capable PCIe copper adapter. Do not transfer the V2 speed table or driver notes to the earlier EN-9320TX-E board.

IDENTIFICATION: Exact product model EN-9320TX-E V2. The Edimax version-specific datasheet is the reference for this revision; verify the model suffix on the card itself.

Exact SKU, interface and compatibility

Exact model / SKU / revisionEdimax EN-9320TX-E V2 (10 Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express Server Adapter).
ControllerMarvell/Aquantia AQtion multigigabit Ethernet controller family; the Edimax V2 datasheet identifies the adapter capabilities but does not specify a controller stepping. Do not assign AQC107 versus AQC113 solely from a similar retail card.
Bus, ports and connectorPCI Express 3.0 x4; one 8P8C/RJ-45 copper port; standard and low-profile bracket support as described in the V2 documentation.
Per-port link rates10GBASE-T, 5GBASE-T, 2.5GBASE-T, 1000BASE-T and 100BASE-TX, with auto-negotiation.
Driver and operating systemsUse the Edimax V2 driver package. Its archived matrix lists Windows 7/8.1/10, Windows Server 2008 R2/2012/2012 R2/2016, Linux 2.6/3.x/4.x, macOS 10.12, and ESXi 5.1/5.5/6.0 (plus Hyper-V/KVM); these are historical entries, not current-release certification.
Cabling and compatibility caveatsUse Cat 6a/7 channel for 10GbE and the vendor-specified cable/length for lower NBASE-T rates. Requires four electrically connected PCIe lanes; the port’s negotiated speed is bounded by switch, cabling and far-end NIC.
Revision warningV2 suffix is required for this record. Earlier EN-9320TX-E revisions and other Edimax 10GbE cards may use different silicon, drivers, bracket packages or speed support.

Use and preservation notes

Keep the V2 sticker, MAC address, PCB revision, controller marking and driver package together in the record. No throughput benchmark is claimed; measured data must name the negotiated speed, peer, cable, OS, driver, MTU and test method.
