DELL BCM5720 Quad Port Gigabit Ethernet Card R620 R720 R820

SKU CH-N379-6RWTX

Adds four Gigabit Ethernet ports to PowerEdge R620, R720 and R820 servers

  • Four gigabit ports expand server connectivity
  • Broadcom 5720 controller handles 10/100/1000Base-T traffic
  • Daughter-card form factor fits PowerEdge R620 R720 R820
  • Designed for access-control workloads
  • New condition ready for deployment

Dell BCM5720 Quad-Port Gigabit Adapter

This new Dell Broadcom 5720 daughter card adds four Gigabit Ethernet ports to compatible PowerEdge servers. It uses 10/100/1000Base-T networking technology for wired connectivity. The card is designed for access-control applications in enterprise environments.

For PowerEdge R620, R720 and R820 owners

It suits administrators expanding network capacity on those specific Dell PowerEdge models. Builders working with other server platforms or different form-factor requirements should look at alternative solutions. The daughter-card interface limits installation to systems that accept this exact form factor.

Quad-port 10/100/1000Base-T interface

The single decisive specification is the four-port Gigabit Ethernet controller using 10/100/1000Base-T signalling. This determines whether the card matches the cabling infrastructure and throughput needs of the deployment. Verify the server accepts this daughter-card type before purchase.

Questions about this item

What throughput can I expect from the four ports on a Dell PowerEdge R720?

Each port negotiates 10/100/1000Base-T, so real-world throughput tops out at Gigabit Ethernet line rate per port when connected to a matching switch.

What bus interface does the BCM5720 daughter card use and what bandwidth limit does that impose?

The card plugs into a dedicated daughter-card slot on the R620, R720 or R820 motherboard, so bandwidth is governed by that proprietary connection rather than a standard PCIe lane count.

Will this quad-port card fit in a standard PCIe slot on a non-Dell server?

No, the BCM5720 is a Dell daughter card designed only for the proprietary mezzanine slot in PowerEdge R620, R720 and R820 chassis.
