Dell Intel X540 Dual Port 10Gb Base-T + I350 Dual Port 1Gb Base-T rNDC | 99GTM

The Dell Intel X540 + I350 Quad-Port rNDC (Part Number: 99GTM) is a Rack Network Daughter Card (rNDC) designed to provide integrated Ethernet connectivity for select Dell PowerEdge servers. Combining two Intel Ethernet controllers—X540 for 10GbE and I350 for 1GbE—this card offers a total of four RJ45 ports: two supporting 10 Gigabit Ethernet and two supporting 1 Gigabit Ethernet. This configuration allows for flexible network deployment, accommodating both high-speed data transfer and standard network operations within a single, space-efficient module.

The 99GTM rNDC is engineered to integrate seamlessly into the Dell server architecture, utilizing the dedicated rNDC slot to conserve PCIe slots for other expansion needs. Its design supports auto-negotiation for backward compatibility with existing network infrastructures and is suitable for various applications, including virtualization, data center operations, and enterprise networking. By consolidating multiple network interfaces into one module, it simplifies cabling and reduces hardware complexity.
