Product Overview
The 540-BBVK Dell Dual Port Broadcom 57414 25GB Sfp28 Ethernet Pcie Network Interface Card Low Profile is a network interface card (NIC) manufactured by Dell. It is designed to provide high-speed network connectivity for servers and workstations. In this article, we will discuss the features and specifications of this NIC in detail.
Features
The 540-BBVK Dell Dual Port Broadcom 57414 25GB Sfp28 Ethernet Pcie Network Interface Card Low Profile has two ports, which allow it to connect to two different networks simultaneously. This feature is particularly useful for server applications that require redundant network connections for high availability.
The NIC is based on the Broadcom 57414 chipset, which provides support for 25Gbps Ethernet connectivity. This makes it ideal for applications that require high-speed data transfer, such as data centers and cloud computing environments.
The NIC supports SFP28 (Small Form-Factor Pluggable 28) optical transceivers, which can be used to connect the NIC to fiber optic networks. SFP28 transceivers are designed to support data rates up to 25Gbps, which makes them suitable for high-speed networking applications.
The NIC also supports PCIe (Peripheral Component Interconnect Express) connectivity, which provides high-speed data transfer between the NIC and the host computer. PCIe is a standard interface used for connecting peripheral devices to a computer, and it provides faster data transfer rates compared to other interfaces such as USB or Ethernet.
Low Profile Design
The 540-BBVK Dell Dual Port Broadcom 57414 25GB Sfp28 Ethernet Pcie Network Interface Card Low Profile has a low-profile design, which means that it can fit into low-profile slots in a computer's motherboard. This feature is particularly useful for compact computers and servers that have limited space for expansion cards.
The low-profile design also makes it easier to install and remove the NIC from the computer. It is important to note that the NIC comes with a standard bracket as well, which can be used to mount it in a full-height slot.
Compatibility
The 540-BBVK Dell Dual Port Broadcom 57414 25GB Sfp28 Ethernet Pcie Network Interface Card Low Profile is compatible with a wide range of operating systems, including Microsoft Windows, Linux, and VMware ESXi. This makes it a versatile NIC that can be used in various environments.
The NIC also supports a wide range of networking protocols, including TCP/IP, UDP/IP, IPv4, and IPv6. This makes it compatible with a variety of networking applications, such as web servers, email servers, and database servers.
Performance
The 540-BBVK Dell Dual Port Broadcom 57414 25GB Sfp28 Ethernet Pcie Network Interface Card Low Profile is designed to provide high-performance network connectivity. It supports full-duplex operation, which means that it can send and receive data simultaneously at a speed of up to 25Gbps per port.
The NIC also supports advanced features such as hardware acceleration for TCP/IP checksum and segmentation offloading. These features help to reduce the CPU utilization of the host computer, which can improve overall system performance.
In Summary, the 540-BBVK Dell Dual Port Broadcom 57414 25GB Sfp28 Ethernet Pcie Network Interface Card Low Profile is a high-performance NIC that is designed for use in servers and workstations. It provides high-speed network connectivity, supports SFP28 optical transceivers, and has a low-profile design that makes it suitable for use in compact computers and servers. The NIC is also compatible with a wide range of operating systems and networking protocols, which makes it a versatile option for various networking applications.General Information about the Dell 540-BBVK

About Refurbished Products
Adding gigabyte network connectivity is one of the best decisions users can make in the modern world. This is what the NIC (Network Interface Card) offers. This highly advanced networking device offers users a dedicated computer network connection.
The network interface card's ability to support wired and wireless network communications makes it one of the best choices. Individual users and IT professionals will find them very useful.
NIC enables adequate communication between computers. The computers may either be connected over a Local Area Network or over larger-scale networks via an IP. Regardless of the connection type, the network interface card offered at AllHDD works at optimal rates.
When users choose network interface card options here, they get the most reliable hardware circuitry. That is, there's a synergy between a data link and a physical layer in one device. The circuitry enables the physical layer to process data so that the processes involving the data link layer can run effectively on it.
Gone are the days when network controllers were the real deals. Today, a network interface card can serve as an expansion module in computer systems or routers. The specifications of the NIC users will get correspond with the standard of various network options.
Network Interface Card Options
Internal Network Interface Cards
Users will find NIC (Network Interface Cards) that users can insert directly onto the computer's motherboard. For these options to offer network access, there's the need for network cables. There are NIC options that use connections like Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI). Others connect with Industry Standard Architecture (ISA).
External Network Interface Cards
Laptops and desktops which do not come with an internal network interface card use the external option. There are two options for the external NIC. The first is the wireless network cards, which will be attached directly to the motherboard.
Unlike the internal option, there will be no need for networking cables in this case. These options are the best when users need to travel or access wireless signals.
On the other hand, there are several USB options ranging from 1 port to 4 port NIC. They are compact, and they add a network connection to a USB-enabled computer system. Many of these NIC options work with 10-100-1000 Mbps networks.
They are also ideal replacements for local area network (LAN) adapters and similar laptop accessories. Users will find USB network interface cards that support features such as VLAN tagging, Jumbo Frames, and Wake on LAN (WOL). They are the most reliable Gigabit network for versatile home and business use.
Key Features
- Fast and Reliable Performance. The network interface cards have impressive speed rating with options up to 1000 Mbps. They enable the connection of multiple computers without the fear of failure.
- Updated and Incorruptible Driver. The driver that passes data between the NIC and the computer system ensures optimal performance.
- Connectivity LED. These NIC (Network Interface Cards) come with integrated LED indicators to notify users when there is a network connection and transfer of data.
