A network adapter is a device that connects a computer to a network. The 540-BBRM Dell-Intel XL710QDA2 Dual Port 40G Converged Network Adapter is a high-performance device that allows computers to connect to a network at speeds of up to 40 Gbps. In this article, we will explain in detail what the 540-BBRM Dell-Intel XL710QDA2 Dual Port 40G Converged Network Adapter is and how it works.
Definition of Converged Network AdapterA converged network adapter (CNA) is a network interface card (NIC) that allows a computer to simultaneously connect to different types of networks such as Ethernet, Fibre Channel, and InfiniBand. CNAs are designed to optimize network performance, reduce network complexity, and lower the total cost of ownership of the network infrastructure.
The 540-BBRM Dell-Intel XL710QDA2 Dual Port 40G Converged Network Adapter is a high-performance network adapter that supports Ethernet and Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE). It is designed to provide a high-speed, low-latency network connection for servers and workstations that require high-bandwidth and low-latency data transfer.
Features and Specifications of Converged Network Adapter- Dual-port 40 Gigabit Ethernet (40GbE) network adapter
- Supports 10/40GbE Ethernet and 8/16Gb Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE)
- PCI Express 3.0 x8 host interface
- Intel XL710 Ethernet Controller
- Intel QuickData Technology
- Low latency and high throughput
- Jumbo frame support (up to 9.5KB)
- Intel Data Direct I/O Technology
- Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) support
- Supports Network Virtualization using Generic Routing Encapsulation (NVGRE) and Virtual Extensible LAN (VXLAN) protocols
The 540-BBRM Dell-Intel XL710QDA2 Dual Port 40G Converged Network Adapter works by providing a high-speed, low-latency network connection between a server or workstation and a network switch. The network adapter uses the PCI Express 3.0 x8 host interface to communicate with the computer's CPU.
The network adapter also includes an Intel XL710 Ethernet Controller, which is responsible for managing the data transfer between the computer and the network. The XL710 Ethernet Controller supports a wide range of advanced networking features such as jumbo frame support, Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE), and Network Virtualization.
Jumbo frame support allows the network adapter to transmit and receive larger packets of data, which can improve network performance and reduce CPU utilization. Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) reduces power consumption by allowing the network adapter to enter a low-power state when there is no network traffic.
Network Virtualization is a technology that allows multiple virtual networks to be created on a single physical network infrastructure. The 540-BBRM Dell-Intel XL710QDA2 Dual Port 40G Converged Network Adapter supports Network Virtualization using Generic Routing Encapsulation (NVGRE) and Virtual Extensible LAN (VXLAN) protocols, which allow virtual networks to be created and managed more efficiently.

What is the Manufacturer/Brand Warranty?
In general, a manufacturer's warranty service/support is a written guarantee to the buyer of a product. Its terms assure the replacement or repair of the product, if necessary, within a specified period after the purchase (2-5 years depending on the brand/manufacturer). It is typically included in the price of the product. Products are brand new and sealed and the original manufacturer box is complete with the Manufacturer's genuine warranty. For most of the brand new/retail products that come with the manual and box, exceptions may apply (i.e., Cisco, Juniper Networks).
For the server parts (i.e., Dell, HPE) to get Full coverage of the warranty server must have a full 3- 5 years warranty. However, ALLHDD.COM will cover the warranty duration if any Manufacturer doesn't support the advertised warranty and there is no refund for those.
Final Sale items are non-returnable/refundable in any situation. Any question? please ask our team before the shipment.
