DELL 540-BBIU 57810S Dual Port 10Gb Base-T RAID controller

SKU CH-4FGT-Z0Q2H MPN 540-BBIU

Dual-port 10GbE Base-T server adapter adds two RJ-45 ports via PCI Express

  • Dual 10GbE ports deliver high-speed server connectivity
  • PCI Express host interface fits standard server slots
  • Twisted-pair cabling uses existing copper infrastructure
  • Plug-in card form factor simplifies installation
  • Designed for server environments ensures reliable operation

Dual-port 10Gb Base-T server adapter

The DELL 540-BBIU 57810S is a plug-in card that adds two 10GBase-T ports to a server over a PCI Express host interface. It is built for administrators who need wired 10 gigabit connectivity on twisted-pair cabling without changing existing copper runs.

Broadcom 57810S controller with two RJ-45 ports

The onboard Broadcom 57810S controller drives both RJ-45 ports, delivering 10GBase-T signalling on standard twisted-pair media. This single-card design replaces the need for separate single-port adapters and keeps cabling compatible with Cat6a or better infrastructure.

Two ports for 10 GbE links, limited to copper reach

Each port provides a 10 GbE connection over twisted pair, giving headroom for storage replication, backup traffic or virtual-motion migration. The copper physical layer caps reliable distance at the 10GBase-T maximum, so runs beyond that require fibre transceivers or a different adapter.

Questions about this item

Will the dual RJ-45 ports on the 57810S need firmware updates or transceiver swaps later?

The 57810S uses fixed 10GBase-T RJ-45 ports; no transceivers to replace. Firmware updates are available from Dell for the 540-BBIU part when required.

What limits sustained throughput on the 10GBase-T links of this adapter?

Each port runs at 10 Gb/s over twisted pair; the PCI Express host interface and cable quality set the practical ceiling under continuous load.

How much heat and power does the 540-BBIU draw when both 10G ports run all day?

The plug-in card draws power from the PCIe slot; typical 10GBase-T adapters of this class run warm but stay within standard server thermal limits.
