Low-profile PCIe network card with two SFP28 ports, green PCB, silver brackets

GIGABYTE

GIGABYTE CLN4D40 Broadcom BCM57414 25Gb/s 2-port SFP28 server accessory

SKU CH-H45H-0N5ZD MPN CLN4D40

Adds two 25 Gb/s SFP28 ports via a low-profile PCIe x8 card with a Broadcom BCM57414 controller

  • Dual 25Gb/s SFP28 ports deliver high-throughput server connectivity
  • Broadcom BCM57414 controller provides reliable 25G, 10G and 1G operation
  • PCIe x8 Gen3 interface ensures full bandwidth per port
  • Low-profile MD2 form factor fits 1U and dense chassis
  • Compact 68.9 x 130 mm dimensions simplify rack integration

Dual-port 25 Gb/s SFP28 server adapter

The GIGABYTE CLN4D40 adds two SFP28 ports running at 25, 10 or 1 Gb/s per port. A Broadcom BCM57414 controller handles traffic on a PCIe x8 Gen3 x8 link. The MD2 low-profile bracket measures 68.9 by 130 mm for dense server chassis.

Upgrade from single-port or 10 Gb/s NICs

Replacing a single-port card doubles available lanes for storage or compute clusters. Moving from 10 Gb/s to 25 Gb/s per port cuts transfer time for large datasets when the switch and cabling support the higher rate. The jump is worth it when sustained throughput above 10 Gb/s is required.

Verify PCIe slot height and SFP28 optics

Confirm the server has a free x8 slot with enough bracket clearance for the 130 mm length. Match each port with SFP28 transceivers and cables rated for the desired speed. Ensure the operating system includes or can load a driver for the BCM57414 controller.

Questions about this item

Does the 68.9 x 130 mm low-profile MD2 card fit a standard PCIe x8 slot in a 1U server?

Yes, the MD2 low-profile form factor and 68.9 x 130 mm dimensions are designed for standard PCIe x8 Gen3 slots in 1U and 2U chassis.

Which step is often missed when installing the Broadcom BCM57414 card into a PCIe x8 Gen3 slot?

Insert the card fully until the bracket screws align, then secure the bracket before connecting any SFP28 transceivers or cables.

When should the SFP28 transceivers used with the two 25Gb/s ports be inspected or replaced?

Inspect transceivers during scheduled maintenance; replace any module showing link errors, excessive heat, or physical damage to the optical interface.
