Product overview
This is the Dell dual port 25GbE SFP28 PCIe network Adapter, order code 540-BCNM. An adapter's driver and firmware support on the host operating system decides whether it is usable, not the slot it fits. This card is 25GbE. Tell us the OS and hypervisor version and we will confirm support before it ships.
Quotes are itemised down to the accessories, so nothing that is needed to make the part work is left off and discovered later.

Questions buyers ask about this part
Is 540-BCNM genuine and is the warranty intact?
Yes. It ships new in Dell packaging, which is what keeps the warranty and the firmware entitlement valid. Anything we cannot supply that way we tell you about before you order.
Will 540-BCNM work in my server?
Send us the server model or service tag and we will confirm before you order. Part numbers alone do not always settle it: firmware revision and platform generation matter, and this is the check that prevents a return.
Do you accept purchase orders and quote at volume?
Yes, POs from qualified organisations, net terms on approval, and banded pricing once the quantity is worth banding. Send the number and we will price it properly.
