Single-port 10 GbE adapter

The Vszerda X540-10G-1T-X8 is a PCIe x8 network card built around the Intel X540-BT2 controller. It provides one RJ45 port that operates at 10 Gbps or 1 Gbps over Cat6a cabling. The card fits both standard and low-profile slots with the included brackets. Drivers are available for Windows Server 2003, 2008, 2012, Windows 7, 8, 10 and Linux, with Windows 11 support requiring manual driver setup.

Entry servers and workstations

This card suits administrators adding a single 10 GbE link to an existing server or workstation that has a free PCIe x8 or x16 slot. It also fits builders who need iSCSI, FCoE or NFS storage traffic on a budget. Buyers who require multiple 10 GbE ports from one card should look elsewhere.

Intel X540-BT2 controller

The onboard Intel X540-BT2 controller delivers hardware QoS, virtualization features including VMDq and SR-IOV, and Data Center Bridging for lossless Ethernet. The PCIe 2.1 x8 interface runs at 5.0 GT/s per lane. This controller choice determines the feature set and driver compatibility for the adapter.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the single-port X540-10G-1T-X8 or a dual-port version for my server?

This card has one RJ45 port; choose it when you need a single 10 GbE link and want to leave other PCIe slots free.

What real-world throughput will I see with the 10 Gb/s rating once the card is installed?

The Intel X540-BT2 controller runs at 10 Gb/s over Cat6a; actual throughput depends on CPU, storage and network load but the hardware ceiling is 10 Gb/s.

The card uses PCIe 2.1 x8 — what bandwidth does that provide in practice?

PCIe 2.1 x8 delivers 5.0 GT/s per lane for a total of 40 Gb/s raw bandwidth, well above the 10 Gb/s Ethernet rate so the slot does not bottleneck the port.
