Dell Intel X710 kahden portin 10GbE verkkosovitin (malli 540-BDQZ)

The Dell Intel X710 Dual Port 10GbE network adapter is a PCI Express card engineered for high-performance server and workstation networking. Based on Intel X710 technology, this dual-port 10 Gigabit Ethernet adapter delivers increased throughput and low latency for demanding applications. It supports link aggregation and advanced offload features to optimize CPU utilization and sustain high data transfer rates in virtualized and storage-heavy environments.

Advantages

The adapter provides two 10GbE ports that enable higher bandwidth and redundancy compared with single-port solutions. Hardware offloads and support for virtualization features reduce processor overhead and improve overall system efficiency. Its PCIe interface ensures compatibility with modern server and workstation motherboards, while the Intel X710 architecture delivers proven reliability and stable network performance under heavy loads.

Suitable for

• Virtualization hosts and hyperconverged infrastructure
• High-performance storage networks and NAS connectivity
• Data center server uplinks and aggregation
• High-throughput application servers and compute nodes

Key specifications

• Interface: PCI Express x8/x16 compatible
• Network ports: 2 × 10 Gigabit Ethernet
• Supported speeds: 10 Gbps per port
• Supported features: link aggregation, VLAN tagging, SR-IOV, TCP/UDP checksum and segmentation offloads
• Form factor: low- to full-height bracket compatibility (adapter may include adjustable bracket)
• Operating environments: designed for server and workstation use with enterprise-class thermal and power characteristics

How to use

Install the adapter into an available PCI Express slot following the server or workstation manufacturer’s instructions. Secure the bracket and connect compatible SFP+/RJ45 transceivers or cables as required by your network topology. Install the appropriate Dell or Intel drivers for your operating system to enable full feature support, and configure link aggregation, VLANs or virtual functions through the OS or hypervisor network settings. After installation and driver configuration, verify link status and speed through system management tools or network utilities.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use high-quality SFP+ modules or certified DAC/structured cabling rated for 10GbE, ensure the host system firmware and drivers are up to date, and configure offload and virtualization features (such as SR-IOV) in line with workload requirements. Monitor temperatures and slot power limits in dense server environments to maintain reliable operation.
