The Dell Intel X540-T2 Dual Port 10GBASE-T Low-Profile Adapter (Part Number: 3DFV8) is a reliable, high-speed network interface card designed for Dell PowerEdge servers requiring 10Gb Ethernet over copper. With two RJ45 ports supporting 10GBASE-T, 1GBASE-T, and 100BASE-TX, it delivers flexible connectivity across a variety of network infrastructures. This adapter connects via PCI Express 2.1 x8 and fits in low-profile slots, making it a solid choice for dense or space-constrained systems.
Built on the Intel X540 controller, the 3DFV8 supports essential features like Intel® VT-c (Virtualization Technology for Connectivity), MSI-X, and receive-side scaling (RSS). It also offers iSCSI acceleration, offloading related network traffic from the CPU. Ideal for virtualized environments and general-purpose data workloads, this adapter allows businesses to efficiently upgrade to 10GbE while retaining backward compatibility with existing copper-based networking.
