About the 7XC7A05525
The Lenovo 7XC7A05525 is a dual-port 10GBASE-T PCIe adapter powered by the Broadcom BCM57416 controller. It allows data centers to deploy 10Gbps networking using standard twisted-pair copper infrastructure (Cat6/Cat6A) without requiring optical transceivers or twinaxial cables. It supports auto-negotiation between 1GbE and 10GbE, along with hardware RoCE v2 RDMA offloads.
Compatibility
Compatible with Lenovo ThinkSystem SR650, SR630, SR850, ST550, SR650 V2, and SR630 V2 servers. It connects via standard Cat6 cabling up to 55m and Cat6A up to 100m. Because 10GBASE-T PHYs consume more power and dissipate more heat than optical cards, adequate chassis airflow must be maintained.
How to identify a genuine unit
The board features a Lenovo inventory label showing option part number 7XC7A05525, FRU part number 01GV570, and feature code B0S4. Two shielded RJ-45 ports with integrated speed and link LEDs are mounted on the bracket. Operating systems recognize the adapter via the Broadcom bnxt_en driver.
Buying used
When buying a used 57416 10GBASE-T card, check the RJ-45 contacts for physical distortion. Inspect the passive heatsink retention spring clips to ensure proper mounting pressure against the controller chip. Test that both ports negotiate full 10Gbps speed when connected to a 10GBASE-T switch.
