Product Description
Features | Benefits | ||
Intel 10GbE Converged Network Adapter X540 | Industry's first integrated MAC PHY, reducing cost and power. | ||
Low-profile |
Enables higher bandwidth and throughput from standard and low-profile PCe slots and servers. |
||
Support for most Network Operating Systems (NOS) |
Enables widespread deployment. |
||
RoHS compliant, lead-free technology | Compliant with the European Union directive (July 2005) to reduce hazardous materials. |
||
MSI-X support |
Minimized the overhead of interrupts. Allows load balancing of interrupt handling between different cores/CPUs. | ||
Low Latency |
Based on the sensitivity of the incoming data, the adapter can bypass the automatic moderation of time intervals between the interrupts. |
||
Header Splits and Replication in Recieve |
Helps the driver focus on the relevant part of the packet without the need to parse it. |
||
Tx/Rx IP, 5CTP, TCP, and UDP checksum offloading (IPv4, IPv6) capabilities |
Low processor usage. Checksum and segmentation capability extended to new standard packet type. |
||
Tx TCP segmentation offload (IPv4, IPv6) |
Increased throughput and lower processor usage. Compatible with large send off load feature (in Microsoft Windows Server operating systems). |
||
Compatible with x8 and x16 standard PCI express slots |
Enables each PCI Express slot to operate without interfering or competing with other ports. |
||
RJ45 connections over CAT-6a cabling |
Ensures compatibility with cable lengths up to 100 meters. |
||
VLAN support with VLAN tag insertion, stripping and packet filtering for up to 4096 VLAN tags |
Ability to create multiple VLAN segments. |
