DELL 540-BBIV Intel X710 10GbE SFP+ network card

SKU CH-VDKZ-88QKM

A dual-port 10GbE SFP+ server adapter using a PCI Express 3.0 x8 host interface

  • Two 10 GbE ports for high-bandwidth server links
  • PCIe 3.0 x8 host interface keeps data flowing
  • SFP+ cages accept optical modules for flexible cabling
  • 10GBase-X support handles demanding network workloads
  • Plug-in card form factor fits standard server slots

Two-port 10GbE server adapter

The Dell 540-BBIV adds two 10 Gigabit Ethernet SFP+ ports to a server through a PCI Express 3.0 x8 slot. It is built for data-centre and enterprise workloads that need high-throughput optical connectivity. The Intel X710 controller handles traffic directly on the card.

Low-profile thermals and power

The plug-in card form factor fits standard server chassis airflow paths without extra cooling hardware. Optical SFP+ transceivers generate less heat than copper equivalents at the same speed. Typical power draw stays within the slot budget for dense rack deployments.

Sustained line-rate forwarding

The dual-port design maintains full 10 Gb/s throughput on both ports simultaneously under continuous load. Onboard queue management prevents head-of-line blocking during long transfers. Server-class drivers keep latency stable over extended periods.

Questions about this item

How do I install the Dell 540-BBIV Intel X710 card and which step is often missed?

Insert the card into a PCI Express 3.0 x8 slot, secure the bracket, then plug SFP+ transceivers into both ports before cabling; the step often missed is inserting the transceivers first.

What maintenance or replacement will the Intel X710 10GbE adapter need over time?

The SFP+ optical modules are the only field-replaceable parts; swap a transceiver if link errors appear, otherwise the card itself requires no scheduled maintenance.

What limit appears first when the dual-port 10GbE card runs at sustained load?

The PCI Express 3.0 x8 host interface caps combined throughput at the bus ceiling, so sustained traffic on both 10GbE ports will hit that bandwidth limit first.
