Unified Networking
The Intel® Ethernet Controller X540
enables servers to use existing Cat 6 or
Cat 6A cables to unify NFS/CIFS, iSCSI and
FCoE with LAN traffic instead of forcing
the use of Twinaxial copper or Fiber Optic
SFP+ solutions.

Proven iSCSI SAN Connectivity
The Intel® Ethernet Controller X540
provides iSCSI support without the need
for complicated firmware, driver, and
proprietary software combinations. Native
OS iSCSI initiators work in conjunction
with intelligent offloads built-in to both
the X540 controller and Intel® Xeon
Processor-based servers to provide
performance with proven reliability.

10GBASE-T Supports Open-FCoE
For the first time, Open-FCoE is supported
on 10GBASE-T. As 10GBASE-T switches
come to market enabled with FCoE
support, the X540 controller enables
using cost-effective Cat 6 and Cat 6A
cabling for converged networking.
The Open-FCoE architecture uses a
combination of hardware intelligent
offloads and FCoE initiators in VMware*
ESXi 5.0, Microsoft* Windows*, and Linux*
operating systems to deliver proven high-
performance FCoE solutions.

path to deliver full-featured, converged
network adapter (CNA) functionality as a

DCB Delivers Lossless Ethernet
The Intel® Ethernet Controller X540
supports Ethernet enhancements such as
Data Center Bridging (DCB), a collection of
standards, for additional QoS functionality
such as lossless delivery, congestion
notification, priority-based flow control,
and priority groups.

10 Gbps Performance at Low Cost
and Low Power
The new Intel® Ethernet Controller X540
brings 10GBASE-T as a cost effective
means to bring 10 Gbps Ethernet to server
platforms as LOM or Network Daughter
Card. The X540 Controller connects to Cat
6 and Cat 6A cabling and has backwards
compatibility with many 100BASE-Tx and
1000BASE-T switches to provide broad
network infrastructure support.
