The Intel X540-T2 Dual Port 10 GbE adapters for IBM system x are powered by reliable and proven 10 Gb Ethernet technology from Intel. The card offers full line-rate 10 Gbps performance for high-IO intensive applications, and showcases the 10 GbE networking features for the enterprise network and data center. The Intel X540-T2 adapter offers 10GBASE-T connectivity with RJ-45 ports, with compatibility with the existing 1000BASE-T network, simplifying the transition to the 10 Gb Ethernet technology.
The Intel X540-T2 adapters support Intel I/O Virtualization technology (I/OVT), which helps accelerate data across the platform, therefore improving application response times. For virtualized environments, Intel Ethernet adapters offer advanced features with VMDq that lower processor utilization and increase I/O performance.

Compatibility Notes
|
Load balancing on multiple processors, which increases performance on multiprocessor systems by efficiently balancing network loads across processor. cores when used with Receive Side Scaling from Microsoft or Scalable I/O on Linux.
Header Splits and Replication in Receive helps the driver focus on the relevant part of the packet without needing to parse it.
Multiple queues allow packet handling without the waiting/buffer overflow, which provides efficient packet prioritization.
Offload features:
IP, TCP, and UDP checksum offload (IPv4 and IPv6)
TCP segmentation/large send offload (IPv4 and IPv6)
IPsec offload
MACsec offload
Receive Side Scaling for Windows and Scalable I/O for Linux (IPv4, IPv6, and TCP/ UDP)
Support for Intel Virtualization Technology (VT) with I/OAT and VMDq.
IEEE 802.1Q VLAN support with VLAN tag insertion, with stripping and packet filtering for up to 4096 VLAN tags.
