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.

Questions about this item
What slot type does the mezzanine daughter card require on the server board?
The card installs into a dedicated mezzanine slot on compatible Dell servers; it does not use a standard PCI-Express slot.
Which step is commonly missed when installing the dual-port adapter?
The mezzanine retention screws must be fully seated before the server lid is closed, otherwise the card can lift and lose contact.
How often should the RJ-45 ports be inspected or cleaned in a 0 °C to 55 °C environment?
Check the copper contacts every six to twelve months for dust or oxidation and clean with a lint-free swab if needed.
