Network Adapter for Dell PowerEdge

This is a Dell NVIDIA ConnectX-6 Lx dual-port 10/25GbE SFP28 OCP 3.0 network adapter, model DN78C. It provides two high-speed Ethernet connections for rack-mounted PowerEdge servers. The card uses the OCP 3.0 form factor for direct installation into compatible server chassis. It is designed for data-centre networking workloads.

Compatibility and Slot Requirements

Verify that your PowerEdge server appears in the supported model list, which includes R650, R750, R760, R660, C6520, XE8545 and several other R-series and C-series systems. Confirm the server has an available OCP 3.0 mezzanine slot for this adapter. Ensure SFP28 transceivers and matching fibre or copper cabling are available for the 10 or 25GbE links.

Suitable for Dual-Port 25GbE Deployments

This adapter suits administrators adding dual-port 25GbE connectivity to listed Dell PowerEdge platforms. It is not for servers lacking an OCP 3.0 slot or for builds requiring RJ45 copper ports instead of SFP28. Buyers needing more than two ports or a different form factor should consider other options.
