Dell 540-BCOQ Dual 10GbE SFP+ OCP 3.0 Adapter

This Dell 540-BCOQ is a Broadcom 57412 dual-port 10GbE SFP+ OCP 3.0 network adapter. It provides two 10 gigabit Ethernet connections for rack servers. The card uses the OCP 3.0 form factor for modular deployment in compatible Dell PowerEdge systems.

Suits PowerEdge R650 R750 C6520 and similar racks

This adapter fits Dell PowerEdge servers including C6520, C6525, R450, R550, R650, R650xs, R6525, R750, R750xa, R750xs, R7525 and T550. Builders using other server platforms or requiring a different interface such as RJ45 or PCIe add-in cards should look at alternative network controllers.

OCP 3.0 form factor decides rack compatibility

The OCP 3.0 specification determines whether this card installs in your chassis. Verify that your server supports OCP 3.0 mezzanine slots before purchase because the adapter will not fit standard PCIe slots or older OCP versions.

Questions about this item

Will the SFP+ transceivers need periodic replacement?

The SFP+ cages accept standard hot-pluggable modules that can be swapped without tools when a link upgrade or fault occurs.

What limits sustained 10 GbE throughput on the 57412 controller?

The dual-port 57412 ASIC is rated for 10 Gbps per port; the PCIe 3.0 x8 host interface and CPU offload capacity become the practical ceiling.

How much extra heat does the OCP 3.0 card add under continuous load?

Typical draw is around 10 W, so the card adds modest heat that the server’s existing fan curve handles without acoustic change.
