Dell Broadcom 57414 2-Port 25GbE SFP28 Network Card — CX94X

This is a dual-port 25GbE SFP28 network card using the Broadcom 57414 chipset, sold under Dell part number CX94X.

As a Dell part it is intended for PowerEdge servers with the matching slot; confirm the part number against your system. VLAN tagging lets one physical port carry several logical networks. Server adapters like this offload checksum and segmentation work from the host processor. Check driver support for your operating system and hypervisor version before fitting. Where parts look alike, the Dell part number settles which revision you have. It comes with a full-height bracket, for full-height PCIe slots. The SFP cages accept optical modules or direct-attach cables, so the card suits most top-of-rack switching. For short links inside a rack, direct-attach cables are simpler than optics. Multiple ports let one card serve several networks at once, or bond links together for failover. Matching the Dell part number CX94X against your system's parts list is the surest way to confirm the card fits.

It is supplied certified refurbished: inspected, bench-tested and function-checked in Johannesburg before release.
