Lenovo X540-T2 dual-port 10GbE adapter

The Lenovo 0C19497 X540-T2 is a PCI-Express network interface card that provides two 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports. It supports 10, 100 and 1000 Mbps link speeds for backward compatibility. The card is designed for servers and workstations that require high-throughput wired connectivity.

Verify PCI-Express slot and driver support

Confirm that your system has an available PCI-Express slot with sufficient electrical lanes for the adapter. Check that your operating system includes or can obtain drivers for the Intel Ethernet Controller X540. Ensure the chassis can accommodate a full-height bracket if required.

Integrates into rack or tower servers

The adapter fits into standard server expansion slots and connects to existing copper cabling infrastructure. It frees up onboard LAN ports for management traffic while delivering 10 GbE bandwidth to applications. Adequate airflow across the card is necessary for stable operation.

Questions about this item

Does the Lenovo X540-T2 0C19497 include cables or brackets, or must they be purchased separately?

The adapter is supplied as a standalone PCI-Express card; Ethernet patch cables and any mounting brackets required by your chassis are not included and must be sourced separately.

Which speed version of the X540-T2 should I choose for a 10 GbE link?

This model negotiates 10/100/1000 Mbps and 10 GbE on each of its two ports, so a single version covers all listed speeds — no alternative capacity or speed SKU exists for this part number.

What does the 10 GbE rating mean when the card is installed in a server?

Each port can transfer up to 10 gigabits per second full-duplex over standard twisted-pair cabling, provided the switch, cabling and system bus also support that rate.
