DELL X540 10Gbps Dual Port Mezzanine Daughter Card

Dell X540 10Gbps Dual Port Mezzanine Card

This Dell X540 mezzanine daughter card adds two 10Gbps RJ-45 network connections to compatible Dell servers. It installs into a 64-bit PCI/PCI-X slot and operates reliably between 0°C and 55°C. The adapter is validated for Dell systems and supported by Dell Technical Support when used in that environment. It provides a standards-based 10 Gigabit Ethernet upgrade for existing infrastructure.

Suits Dell servers with a mezzanine slot needing

This card fits administrators upgrading Dell hardware that accepts a mezzanine daughter card and requires two copper 10Gbps ports. It is not for systems lacking a compatible mezzanine connector or for builds that need fibre SFP+ connectivity instead of RJ-45. Buyers wanting a standard PCIe add-in card bracket or more than two ports should look at a different form factor.

10Gbps dual-port RJ-45 over mezzanine interface

The decisive specification is the mezzanine daughter card form factor combined with dual RJ-45 ports running at 10Gbps. This physical interface and connector type determine whether the adapter fits the target server chassis and matches the existing cabling plant. Verify the server service manual for mezzanine compatibility before purchase.
