Quad-port 10Gbps server adapter

This Dell 540-BBVB card adds four 10GBase-T RJ45 ports through a PCI Express slot. It is built for Dell EMC PowerEdge servers such as the R440 and is validated for those platforms. The adapter delivers wired 10GbE connectivity for data-centre and enterprise workloads.

Suits Dell PowerEdge integrations

Teams deploying or upgrading Dell EMC PowerEdge R440 and compatible servers gain a tested, supported 10GbE link with four copper ports. Environments that require fibre SFP+ connections, a different vendor's validated firmware, or a low-profile bracket should evaluate other adapters.

Four RJ45 10GBase-T ports

The single specification that decides fit is the quadruple RJ45 10GBase-T interface, providing 10Gbps per port over copper cabling. Confirm the server has a compatible PCI Express slot and that copper 10GBase-T matches the switching infrastructure before purchase.

Questions about this item

What PCIe slot width does the 540-BBVB need on the motherboard?

The card uses a PCI-Express interface; install it in an available PCIe slot that matches the card's physical connector width.

Will the four 10GBase-T RJ-45 ports negotiate down to 1 Gbps for older switches?

Yes, the 10GBase-T ports auto-negotiate and will operate at 1 Gbps when connected to legacy 1 GbE equipment.

How can I confirm the quad-port 10Gbps adapter is running at full speed after installation?

Check the link LEDs on each RJ-45 port — solid or blinking amber typically indicates a 10 Gbps link — and verify 10 Gbps in the OS network adapter settings.
