## Summary description

The Intel X540T2 is an internal Ethernet network card that offers a maximum data transfer rate of 10000 Mbit/s. It utilizes PCI Express as its host interface and is designed for wired connectivity. This card is ideal for high-performance networking environments, providing reliable and fast data transmission for demanding applications.

## Long description

The Intel Ethernet Converged Network Adapter X540-T2 is a dual-port internal PCI Express network card that provides 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GBASE-T) connectivity for servers and workstations. It integrates the Intel Ethernet Controller X540 to support high-throughput wired networking over standard twisted-pair copper cabling, maintaining backward compatibility with 1 Gigabit Ethernet environments.
Advantages
The adapter enables migration to 10 GbE using existing CAT-6/CAT-6a cabling and legacy GbE switches through auto-negotiation between 1 GbE and 10 GbE. It supports converged networking functions such as iSCSI, Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE), virtualization features, and flexible port partitioning while offering low power consumption and cost-effective deployment for data center environments.
Suitable for
Server and rack installations requiring 10 Gbps wired connectivity
Data center upgrades from 1 GbE to 10 GbE using existing CAT-6/CAT-6a cabling
Storage and virtualization workloads requiring iSCSI or FCoE support
Top-of-Rack, Middle-of-Row, or End-of-Row network architectures
Key specifications
Interface: PCI Express host interface, dual RJ-45 10GBASE-T ports
Maximum data transfer rate: 10,000 Mbit/s (10 Gbit/s)
Compatible cabling: CAT-6 and CAT-6a twisted-pair copper (supports 1–100 m reach depending on cable and environment)
Networking standards: IEEE 802.3, IEEE 802.3ad (link aggregation), IEEE 802.1Q (VLAN tagging), IEEE 802.1p (priority)
Converged networking: iSCSI and FCoE support, virtualization offloads and port partitioning
How to use
Install the X540-T2 into an available PCI Express slot on a compatible server or workstation following the host platform’s service manual. Connect the dual RJ-45 10GBASE-T ports to the network using CAT-6 or CAT-6a cables. Ensure correct drivers and firmware are installed from the server vendor or Intel to enable full functionality, then configure network settings, VLANs, or storage network parameters (iSCSI/FCoE) through the operating system or management tools.
Ieteikumi par lietošanu
The card should be deployed in environments where server hardware, cabling, and switchgear meet 10GBASE-T requirements; when migrating from 1 GbE, validate auto-negotiation and test link stability before production use.
