Dell Broadcom 5719 Quad Port Gigabit Ethernet PCIe Adapter

The Dell XF9VF is a Broadcom 5719 based network interface card that brings four dedicated Gigabit Ethernet ports to a Dell PowerEdge server. It offers a practical way to increase port density and keep traffic moving smoothly when applications, virtual machines, or users place heavier demands on the network.

Each port delivers true line-rate throughput, so file transfers, backup jobs, and client connections run at full speed even when all four links are active. The adapter installs in an available PCIe slot and works equally well in x4, x8, or x16 lanes, so it drops into almost any PowerEdge tower or rack chassis without extra cabling or firmware tweaks.

Dell designed the card to work seamlessly with integrated management tools, allowing you to monitor and configure it through iDRAC7 and Dell Lifecycle Controller just as you would an onboard interface. That tight integration keeps firmware updates simple and puts link status, statistics, and power readings in the same console you already use.

Typical deployments include virtualization hosts that need separate uplinks for different vSwitches, database or file servers that require added throughput during backup windows, and edge servers that benefit from port redundancy without stepping up to a 10 Gigabit solution. Because the XF9VF has been tested and validated across the PowerEdge lineup, you can install it with confidence and rely on Dell support if questions arise.
