Dual 25GbE SFP28 for Dell PowerEdge

The DELL 540-BBUP Broadcom 57414 is a full-height rack network adapter that adds two 25GbE SFP28 ports to compatible PowerEdge servers. It ships new with firmware updated and tested for immediate deployment in 1GbE or 25GbE links.

Fits 11 listed PowerEdge models.

This card is validated for PowerEdge R440, R540, R640, R650, R6525, R740, R740XD, R740XD2, R7425, R750, R750xa, R7515, R7525, R840, R940, R940XA, T550, T640, XE8545, XR11 and XR12. It will not fit servers outside this list or systems that lack a full-height PCIe slot.

Dual-port 25GbE SFP28 interface

The single specification that decides fitment is the dual 25GbE SFP28 interface on a full-height bracket. Buyers needing a different port count, speed or form factor must select another adapter.

Questions about this item

Will the 540-BBUP card fit in the PCIe slots of my PowerEdge R740?

Yes, the full-height bracket matches the R740 expansion slots and the card is listed as compatible with that server.

How can I confirm the 25GbE links are active after installation?

Check the switch or server management console for a 25 Gbps link status and verify both SFP28 ports show traffic counters incrementing.

Does the 540-BBUP include SFP28 transceivers or cables?

The card ships without transceivers or cables; compatible 25GbE SFP28 optics or direct-attach cables must be purchased separately.
