Ethernet Converged Network Adapter Intel X540T1

Intel Ethernet Converged Network Adapter X540T1 is a low-cost, low-power 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10 GbE) network adapter designed for data center environments. It supports standard CAT-6a cabling with RJ45 connectors and is backward compatible with existing 1000BASE-T networks, making it easier to transition to 10 GbE without replacing existing infrastructure. This adapter is ideal for organizations looking to consolidate network and storage traffic onto a single network fabric.

The adapter provides flexible I/O virtualization, allowing port partitioning and quality of service (QoS) for up to 64 virtual ports. This feature ensures efficient traffic management and prioritization, which is essential in high-performance data center environments. It supports unified networking solutions that combine LAN, iSCSI, and FCoE traffic into one adapter, reducing complexity and costs associated with managing multiple network interfaces.

The Intel X540T1 is compatible with a wide range of server platforms and operating systems, making it a versatile choice for various data center applications. Its design focuses on reliability and performance, ensuring stable operation under heavy workloads. The adapter includes all necessary drivers and firmware for seamless integration into existing IT infrastructures.

Setup involves installing the adapter into a compatible server chassis and configuring the network settings through the operating system or management tools. No additional licensing fees are required for the supported protocols, which makes it a cost-effective solution for deploying high-speed networking and storage solutions.
