Dell 5720 Quad-Port 1 GB Network Daughter Card
- In stock
The Dell 540-BBHG is a plug-in network adapter that equips compatible Dell servers with four RJ-45 Gigabit Ethernet ports. Built on the Broadcom 5720 chipset and seated in a PCI Express x1 slot, it supports 10, 100, and 1000 megabit per second links over standard twisted-pair cabling, giving administrators flexible wired connectivity without occupying a full-size expansion bay.
Add this card to a PowerEdge R620, R720, R820, R920, or a PowerVault DL4000 when you need more network paths for virtual machines, backup traffic, or out-of-band management. The extra ports let you segment workloads, balance bandwidth across links, or simply replace an onboard controller that has reached end of life. Installation is straightforward: insert the daughter card, secure it with the system’s retaining clip, and connect existing Ethernet cables.
Because the adapter is designed and branded by Dell, it arrives with the firmware, drivers, and service-tag recognition that align with enterprise support plans. The clearly labeled Dell part number and barcode also make future reordering or inventory checks quick and accurate.
