10Gbps dual SFP+ network adapter

The 10Gtek BCM57810S-DA2 provides two 10Gbps SFP+ ports for servers and workstations that need high-throughput wired connectivity. A Broadcom BCM57810S controller handles the link, and the card fits PCIe 2.0 x8 or x16 slots. Both full-height and low-profile brackets are included for flexible chassis fit.

Passive cooling and modest power draw

The adapter uses a heatsink without a fan, so it adds no audible noise to rack or tower builds. Power consumption stays low enough for standard slot delivery without auxiliary connectors. Driver support covers Windows Server 2008 and 2008 R2, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.7 and 6.1, SLES 10 and 11, plus VMware 4.1 and 5.0.

Steady throughput under sustained load

The dual-port design maintains line-rate 10Gbps traffic on both links during extended transfers, avoiding the throttling seen on single-port cards. The Broadcom controller offloads checksum and segmentation tasks to keep host CPU usage predictable. Not suited for hot-swap bays or fibre-channel environments.

Questions about this item

How do I install the BCM57810S-DA2 in a low-profile server and which bracket should I use?

Insert the card into a PCIe 2.0 x8 or x16 slot, then attach the included low-profile bracket for small form factor cases or the standard bracket for full-height chassis. Secure the bracket screw before connecting any SFP+ modules.

What ongoing maintenance does the dual-port 10GbE adapter require?

No scheduled maintenance is needed; keep the SFP+ cages dust-free and update drivers from the Broadcom site when OS releases change. The board has no fan or replaceable filter.

Which limit appears first when both SFP+ ports run sustained 10Gbps traffic?

The PCIe 2.0 x8 host interface sets the ceiling; each port can hit 10Gbps but aggregate throughput cannot exceed the bus bandwidth.
