Network Adapter BasicsA network adapter, also known as a network interface card (NIC), is a hardware device that connects a computer to a network. It allows a computer to send and receive data over a network connection. Network adapters can come in different types and speeds, depending on the network architecture and bandwidth requirements.
PCI Express (PCI-E) is a high-speed serial computer expansion bus standard that provides fast connectivity between a computer and its peripherals. The PCI-E interface is used to connect various devices, including network adapters, graphics cards, and storage devices.
Dual-Port AdapterThe 540-BBUT Dell Mellanox Connectx-4 is a dual-port network adapter that provides two independent network connections to the server. This feature enables the server to connect to two different networks simultaneously, providing redundancy and load balancing capabilities. The dual-port design can also increase the bandwidth of the server, as both ports can be used for data transmission.
100GBE ConnectivityThe 540-BBUT Dell Mellanox Connectx-4 provides 100GBE connectivity to the network. 100GBE is a high-speed network standard that provides data transfer rates of up to 100 gigabits per second (Gbps). This standard is used in data centers and enterprise networks that require high-speed data transfer for large-scale data processing and storage.
QSFP28 Transceiver Slots
The 540-BBUT Dell Mellanox Connectx-4 features two QSFP28 transceiver slots that can be used to connect to QSFP28 cables or transceivers for data transmission. QSFP28 is a high-speed pluggable transceiver standard that provides data transfer rates of up to 100Gbps. QSFP28 transceivers can be used to connect switches, routers, and servers over short and long distances.
PCI-E X16 InterfaceThe 540-BBUT Dell Mellanox Connectx-4 connects to the PCI-E X16 slot on a server motherboard. The PCI-E X16 slot is a high-speed expansion slot that provides up to 16 lanes for data transfer. The X16 slot can be used to connect various devices, including network adapters, graphics cards, and storage devices.
Small Form Factor Pluggable Transceiver
The 540-BBUT Dell Mellanox Connectx-4 features two Quad Small Form Factor Pluggable (QSFP28) transceiver slots. QSFP28 is a small form factor pluggable transceiver standard that is used in high-speed data transmission applications. QSFP28 transceivers are small in size, making them ideal for use in compact network equipment.
In Summary, the 540-BBUT Dell Mellanox Connectx-4 is a high-performance network adapter that provides 100GBE connectivity to the network. It is a dual-port adapter that connects to the PCI-E X16 slot on a server motherboard and features two QSFP28 transceiver slots.
