DELL 540-BBIX Intel X710 Dual Port 10Gb SFP+ Network Card Low Profile

SKU CH-8680-4GFZ4

Dual-port 10Gb SFP+ Ethernet adapter with PCIe 3.0 host interface for server networking

  • Dual 10 GbE ports double server throughput
  • PCI Express 3.0 host interface enables high-speed data transfer
  • Two SFP+ cages support flexible optical fiber connectivity
  • Low-profile plug-in card fits dense server chassis
  • Intel X710 controller delivers reliable 10GBase-X networking

Server 10Gb SFP+ Adapter

The Dell 540-BBIX Intel X710 is a dual-port 10Gb SFP+ converged network adapter built for server deployment. Its low-profile plug-in card form factor fits dense chassis where full-height brackets cannot be used. Two SFP+ cages accept optical fiber transceivers for 10GBase-X connectivity. The card targets administrators adding high-speed wired links to rack or tower servers.

Verify PCIe 3.0 Slot and SFP+ Optics

Confirm the host system provides an available PCI Express 3.0 slot with sufficient lane width for the adapter. Ensure the server BIOS and operating system recognise the Intel X710 controller without additional firmware steps. Source compatible SFP+ optical modules and fiber patch cables separately, as the card ships without transceivers. Check chassis airflow clearance for the low-profile bracket.

Low-Profile Design Frees Full-Height Slots

The adapter installs in a standard low-profile bracket, leaving full-height expansion slots open for other add-in cards. Dual SFP+ ports consolidate two 10Gb fiber links into a single PCIe device, reducing slot consumption in multi-port server builds. Optical fiber support enables longer reach between rack rows than copper alternatives. The converged design handles both data and storage traffic over the same physical ports.

Questions about this item

Does the card ship with SFP+ transceivers or must they be purchased separately?

The adapter provides two SFP+ cages; transceivers and fibre cables are not included and must be selected to match your link distance and fibre type.

What distinguishes the low-profile form factor from a full-height version?

The low-profile bracket fits 1U and half-height server chassis, while the PCIe 3.0 x8 electrical interface and dual 10GBase-X ports remain identical.

What does the 10GBase-X rating mean for actual throughput in a server?

Each port delivers up to 10 Gb/s line rate over optical fibre, and the PCIe 3.0 host interface provides sufficient bandwidth for both ports simultaneously.
