The Intel Ethernet Converged Network Adapter X540-T2 is a high-performance, dual-port 10GBASE-T adapter designed to simplify the migration to 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE). It features Intel's latest Ethernet silicon, the Intel Ethernet Controller X540, which integrates the MAC and PHY into a single-chip solution to reduce power consumption and cost. This adapter supports auto-negotiation between 100 Mbps, 1 GbE, and 10 GbE, providing backward compatibility with existing 1000BASE-T networks and standard RJ-45 copper cabling. It is optimized for server virtualization, offering features like VMDq and SR-IOV, and supports unified networking by carrying LAN and SAN traffic (iSCSI, FCoE, NFS) over a single fabric. The card is designed for standard and low-profile PCIe slots, making it versatile for various server configurations.
