Dell Compellent 10GbE Mezzanine Adapter
This genuine Dell KCVN9 mezzanine card adds four 10GbE SFP+ ports to Compellent SC5020 and SC7020 storage arrays. It targets administrators expanding high-speed storage fabric connectivity within supported Dell enterprise systems. The PCI Express mezzanine form factor integrates directly into the array controller architecture.
PCI Express Mezzanine Interface Limits
The card uses a proprietary PCI Express mezzanine connector exclusive to SC5020 and SC7020 chassis slots. It cannot be installed in standard PCIe slots, blade servers, or non-Dell platforms. Buyers needing 10GbE connectivity for generic servers or workstations must select a standard add-in card instead.
Quad Port 40Gbps Aggregate Throughput
Four SFP+ ports deliver up to 40Gbps combined bandwidth for iSCSI and FCoE traffic. This headroom handles multi-tenant virtualization and redundant path configurations. Arrays requiring more than four 10GbE links or faster port speeds need additional mezzanine cards or a different controller platform.

Questions about this item
Which mezzanine card fits my SC5020 or SC7020 array?
The KCVN9 part number is the Dell OEM quad-port 10GbE SFP+ mezzanine adapter validated for both SC5020 and SC7020 storage arrays.
What does the 40Gbps aggregate throughput mean for daily workloads?
Four 10GbE lanes combine to 40Gbps total bandwidth, giving iSCSI and FCoE traffic enough headroom for high-throughput, low-latency storage operations.
How does the PCI Express mezzanine interface limit the card in practice?
The mezzanine connector plugs directly into the array's internal PCIe slot, so port count and speed are fixed at four 10GbE SFP+ links with no option for later upgrades.
