Dell is a well-known computer hardware company that produces a wide range of products, including servers, desktops, laptops, and network equipment. One of the network products offered by Dell is the Broadcom 57800S 10gbase-T Rack Converged Network Daughter Card, also known as the Dell 540-BBBZ. This daughter card is designed to provide high-performance networking capabilities to Dell PowerEdge servers. In this article, we will take a closer look at the Dell 540-BBBZ and its features.
Converged Network Daughter CardA converged network daughter card (NDC) is a type of network interface card (NIC) that combines multiple network functions into a single device. Conventional NICs typically handle only one network function, such as Ethernet or Fibre Channel. In contrast, a converged NDC can support Ethernet, Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE), and iSCSI protocols simultaneously, making it a more versatile and efficient option for data center networks.
The Dell 540-BBBZ is a converged NDC that supports both Ethernet and FCoE protocols. With its 10gbase-T connectivity, it is capable of delivering high-speed data transfers up to 10 gigabits per second (Gbps), making it ideal for applications that require low latency and high bandwidth.
Dual-port 10gbase-T connectivityThe Dell 540-BBBZ features dual-port 10gbase-T connectivity, which allows it to deliver high-speed data transfers up to 10 Gbps over standard twisted-pair copper cabling. This feature provides a cost-effective way to upgrade existing network infrastructure to 10 Gbps speeds without the need for expensive fiber-optic cabling.
Converged network supportAs mentioned earlier, the Dell 540-BBBZ is a converged NDC that supports both Ethernet and FCoE protocols. This feature allows it to consolidate multiple network functions onto a single adapter, reducing the number of adapters needed and simplifying network management.
Broadcom 57800S chipsetThe Dell 540-BBBZ is powered by the Broadcom 57800S chipset, which provides advanced networking capabilities and low-latency performance. This chipset supports advanced features such as virtualization, quality of service (QoS), and network offloading, which help to improve network efficiency and performance.
PCI Express 2.0 interfaceThe Dell 540-BBBZ connects to the server via a PCI Express 2.0 interface, which provides high-bandwidth connectivity and low latency. This interface supports up to eight lanes of PCIe 2.0, providing a maximum bandwidth of 40 Gbps.
Rack-mount form factorThe Dell 540-BBBZ is designed to fit into a standard PCIe slot on a Dell PowerEdge server. Its compact, rack-mount form factor makes it easy to install and manage, even in densely populated server racks.
Benefits of the Dell 540-BBBZ
High-performance networkingThe Dell 540-BBBZ provides high-speed networking capabilities up to 10 Gbps, making it ideal for applications that require low latency and high bandwidth. Its dual-port 10gbase-T connectivity provides a cost-effective way to upgrade existing network infrastructure to 10 Gbps speeds without the need for expensive fiber-optic cabling.
Simplified network managementThe converged network support of the Dell 540-BBBZ allows it to consolidate multiple network functions onto a single adapter, reducing the number of adapters needed and simplifying network management. This feature also helps to reduce power consumption, as fewer adapters are needed to perform the same network functions.
