 Ethernet Server  
Bypass Adapter X520/X540 Family
Family supports three operational 
modes:  Normal, Bypass, and Isolate. 
In Normal Mode, data travels into the 
adapter and is processed by the host 
server prior to being transmitted back 
to the network. In Bypass Mode, the 
LAN controller is disconnected from 
the ports and the two external ports 
are connected together into a single 
pipe whereby packets received from 
one port are then transmitted to the 
other port, bypassing the host server 
failure and maintaining network 
connectivity. When needed, isolate 
mode is available to ensure link is not 
established. Intel® Ethernet Server 
Bypass Adapters also include an on-
board programmable watchdog timer, 
which gives administrators full control 
to manage the mode of the adapter. In 
addition, an event log provides the ca-
pability to document operation mode 
changes based on different detection 
conditions.

Dual-Port 10GbE Bypass Adapters enabling maximum network uptime and performance for mission-critical applications
Overview
Intel’s X520 adapters are known for 
their high performance, low latency, 
reliability, and flexibility. The addition 
of the Intel® Ethernet Server Bypass 
Adapter X520 and the Intel® Ethernet 
Server Bypass Adapter X540 deliv-
ers all of the 10GbE performance in 
addition to business continuity in the 
event of a network failure. The bypass 
capability removes a single point of 
failure so that essential business com-
munication can continue while a sys-
tem failure is diagnosed and resolved. 
In the event of a power, hardware, or 
software failure, bypass will automati-
cally activate, allowing network traffic 
to continue.
