Product Information

Full details

This Synology E10G30-T2 network card is designed for users with Synology systems seeking to significantly boost their network throughput. Its key benefit is providing dual-port 10Gbps Ethernet connectivity for faster data transfers. A caveat to consider is its specific compatibility with Synology models and the need for potential voltage and plug adapters if used outside Japan.

FAQs

What is the maximum data transfer rate of the Synology E10G30-T2?

The Synology E10G30-T2 supports a maximum data transfer rate of 10000 Mbit/s (10 Gbps) in Full-Duplex mode.

Is this network card compatible with all NAS devices?

No, this network card is exclusively designed for compatible Synology NAS models that have an available PCIe slot. Please check the Synology compatibility list for your specific model.

Do I need a special cable for 10Gbps connection?

Yes, for 10Gbps speeds, you will typically need Cat 6a or Cat 7 Ethernet cables. Cat 5e may work over very short distances but is not guaranteed for 10Gbps.

Can I use this card with a standard Gigabit switch?

Yes, the card is backward compatible with Gigabit Ethernet (1000 Mbps). However, you will only achieve Gigabit speeds when connected to a Gigabit network device.

What is the difference between a voltage transformer and a plug adapter?

A voltage transformer adjusts the electrical voltage to match your device's requirements (e.g., converting 110V to 220V or vice versa). A plug adapter only changes the physical shape of the plug to fit a different outlet type and does not change the voltage. Using only a plug adapter with a device designed for a different voltage can cause damage.

Where can I find the list of compatible Synology NAS models?

The official Synology website provides a detailed compatibility list for their hardware and expansion modules. Please refer to their support section for the most up-to-date information.

Does the card require separate drivers?

The Synology E10G30-T2 is designed for Synology NAS devices and is typically recognized and supported automatically by the Synology DSM (DiskStation Manager) operating system without the need for manual driver installation.

Troubleshooting

Network card not detected by Synology NAS

Ensure the card is fully seated in the PCIe slot. Verify that your Synology NAS model is listed as compatible. Reboot the NAS after installation.

Slow transfer speeds

Confirm that both the network card, your switch/router, and the connected client device support 10Gbps speeds. Check for any physical obstructions or damage to the network cables. Ensure the drivers are up to date within the Synology DSM.

Intermittent network connection

Check the network cables for secure connections at both ends. Try using different Ethernet cables. Ensure the NAS has adequate cooling, as overheating can cause instability.

Product malfunctions after initial use

Verify that you are using the correct voltage. If outside Japan, ensure a proper voltage transformer is used. Improper voltage can cause immediate or delayed product failure. Consult the product information regarding voltage and plug type requirements.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly increases network speed for data-intensive tasks.
  • Dual ports offer redundancy or the ability to connect to two separate networks.
  • Supports high throughput of 10Gbps for demanding workloads.
  • Designed for seamless integration with Synology NAS.
  • Backward compatible with Gigabit Ethernet speeds.

Cons

  • Exclusively designed for Synology systems.
  • Requires a compatible PCIe slot on the Synology device.
  • May require voltage transformers and plug adapters for use outside Japan.
  • Not a standalone product; needs a compatible host system.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: This card is specifically designed for compatible Synology NAS models that feature an available PCIe slot. Please refer to the Synology website for a definitive list of compatible models.

Setup:

  1. Ensure your Synology NAS is powered off and unplugged.
  2. Open the chassis of your compatible Synology NAS.
  3. Locate an available PCIe slot.
  4. Carefully insert the Synology E10G30-T2 card into the slot until it is fully seated.
  5. Secure the card using the provided bracket.
  6. Close the chassis and reconnect power.
  7. Boot up your Synology NAS. The operating system should automatically detect the new network interface.

Care:

  • Keep the area around the Synology NAS and the network card free of dust and obstructions to ensure proper ventilation.
  • Avoid exposing the card to extreme temperatures or humidity.
  • Clean the exterior of the NAS regularly with a dry, soft cloth. Do not use liquids or aerosols.

Voltage and Plug Considerations: This product is designed for Japanese voltage (90-110V) and plug types. If you are using this product outside of Japan, a voltage transformer is essential to prevent damage. A plug adapter alone will not adjust voltage and can lead to malfunctions. Synology is not liable for damages caused by improper voltage use.
