Dell Broadcom 57414 2-Port 25GbE SFP28 Network Daughter Card — 9XY73

This is a dual-port 25GbE SFP28 network daughter card using the Broadcom 57414 chipset, carrying Dell part number 9XY73.

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. As a network daughter card it uses the dedicated motherboard slot rather than a PCIe slot, keeping expansion slots free. SFP cages keep the choice of media open: optics for longer runs, direct-attach copper inside the rack. Confirm that your operating system or hypervisor release supports the adapter before installing it. Dell part numbers identify the exact revision, which matters more than the description when several look-alike parts exist. VLAN tagging lets one physical port carry several logical networks. As a Dell part it is intended for PowerEdge servers with the matching slot; confirm the part number against your system. Use the part number 9XY73 to confirm the card matches the one already in your system.

Sold as certified refurbished, the part passes inspection and a bench test in Johannesburg before release.
