Step into a new standard of data-center networking with Chelsio’s T580-LP-CR, a dual-port 40 Gigabit Ethernet Unified Wire adapter engineered for modern cloud, virtualization, HPC, and storage environments. Built on Chelsio’s fifth-generation T5 technology, this low-profile, high-performance NIC delivers exceptional throughput, ultra-low latency, and robust CPU offloads that maximize server efficiency and application performance. Its compact form factor fits dense racks and compact server platforms, enabling data centers to scale without compromising reliability or manageability. Whether you’re deploying large virtualized workloads, high-speed storage networks, or accelerating data movement in compute-intensive clusters, the T580-LP-CR is designed to meet the demanding demands of today’s data centers while simplifying deployment and operations.

  • High-performance 40GbE dual-port adapter: Delivers full-duplex 40 Gigabit Ethernet with advanced data-path acceleration to sustain high throughput and low latency for cloud services, virtualization hosts, storage networks, and HPC workloads.
  • Low-profile PCIe 3.0 x8 design: A half-height, compact card that fits standard server chassis and dense compute nodes, enabling greater density and flexibility in data centers and edge deployments.
  • Fifth-generation T5 Unified Wire technology: Provides comprehensive offloads including TCP/IP, RDMA (RoCE), iSCSI, NFS/SMB, and virtualization acceleration, reducing CPU overhead and freeing host resources for application processing.
  • QSFP connectors for flexible, scalable connectivity: Uses QSFP+/QSFP28-compatible interfaces to support high-speed DAC cables and optical fiber links, enabling easy integration into existing 40GbE fabrics and future-proof scaling.
  • Optimized for core data-center workloads: Engineered to excel in cloud platforms, virtualization environments, storage networking, and high-performance computing, with broad interoperability across leading hypervisors, switches, and data-center fabrics.

How to install Chelsio T580-LP-CR

Prepare for installation by powering down the server, disconnecting power, and grounding yourself to prevent static discharge. Locate an available PCI Express x8 slot and remove the chassis slot cover if needed. Insert the T580-LP-CR card firmly into the x8 slot, ensuring the edge connector is fully seated. Secure the bracket with the appropriate screw to ensure stability. Connect the desired network cabling to the QSFP connectors—use DAC cables for short, direct connections or multimode/SMF fiber optics for longer runs as required by your fabric. Reattach the server cover, power up the system, and proceed to install or update the Chelsio drivers in your operating system. After driver installation, verify that the two 40GbE interfaces are detected, assign IP addresses or configure bonding/teaming as needed, and test connectivity with standard network utilities. For virtualization environments, configure vSwitches or VM networks to leverage the hardware offloads and ensure optimum VM networking performance.

Runs Large
Size: X-Large, Color: Dreamy Coral
Seems to be an okay shirt. It’s a little boxy and Definitely not slim fit. I’m an xl tee shirt guy so that’s what ordered. The body fits more like a 2xl but it’s not bad enough to bother returning. Kind of hoping it shrinks after a couple washes

Bad stitching
Size: Large, Color: Bright White
The shoulder seam missing stitching. So there was an inch hole in the seam. I stitched it myself but really should have returned for a replacement. I bought two others in different colors and the stitching was fine. I do love the fit of these t-shirts.

Quality clothing brand.
Size: X-Large, Color: Royal Blue
Well made and soft and comfortable. True to size. The material is stretchy and not tight fitting. I don't like tight fitting shirts. Nautica is a premium brand. Great with jeans and even better with shorts during the summer.

Nautical is a great brand
Size: XX-Large, Color: Red
Total quality T-shirt....Rich red color as shown on line - BUT was a little surprised to feel it has some nylon is the material and not the 100% cotton I thought I was buying. Up side, means it won't shrink much washing, but in the super HOT Texas heat - this year - kind of wanted the totally light feel. Love and prefer the V-Neck. Would definitely recommend this item and seller. Pkg arrived early.
