Product overview
The Dell mellanox ConnectX-5 dual port 10/25GbE SFP28 OCP NIC 3.0 is supplied under part number 540-BCOV. Offload features such as RDMA, SR-IOV and tunnel offload are the reason to choose one adapter over another, and they are firmware-gated.

What you get ordering this from us
Ordered by part number
The order is placed against 540-BCOV, not against a description of it, so there is no room for a substitution you did not agree to.
Driver support confirmed
We check the adapter against your OS and hypervisor version, because the slot is never the constraint.
Volume pricing
The listed price is per unit; tiered pricing applies at quantity and purchase orders are accepted.
Questions buyers ask about this part
Is 540-BCOV 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-BCOV 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. We quote against a purchase order and hold the price for the quote period, with tiered rates at quantity. Net terms are available once the account is approved.
