Dell XWKGY X520-DA 2-Ports 10Gb/s Daughter Card for PowerEdge FC620

Product Description

The Dell XWKGY is a high-performance network adapter designed as a daughter card for the Dell PowerEdge FC620 server. Based on the Intel X520-DA controller, this card provides two 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10Gb/s) ports, enabling extremely fast data transfer rates essential for demanding server applications such as virtualization, high-performance computing, and large-scale data storage. This adapter utilizes the PCIe interface for direct connection to the server's motherboard, ensuring low latency and high bandwidth. The daughter card form factor is specifically designed to fit within the compact chassis of the PowerEdge FC620, maintaining the server's density and modularity. The 10Gb/s ports typically use SFP+ (Small Form-factor Pluggable Plus) connectors, allowing for flexible use of various transceivers (e.g., SR for short-range multimode fiber, LR for long-range single-mode fiber). The Dell XWKGY is crucial for environments that require significant network throughput and low latency. It allows servers to communicate rapidly with storage arrays, other servers, and the network backbone, thereby improving overall system performance and responsiveness. Its integration into the FC620 platform makes it a key component for dense, high-performance computing solutions.
