Dual-Port 10 GbE Adapter

The Intel X710DA2 is a dual-port 10 GbE network adapter built on the Intel Ethernet Controller X710. It connects through a PCI Express 3.0 x8 interface and is designed for servers and workstations that need high-throughput wired connectivity. The card supports network virtualization offloads such as Geneve, VXLAN and NVGRE.

Virtualized Server Workloads

This adapter suits environments that rely on Intel Data Plane Developer Kit optimizations and Intel Ethernet Flow Director for hardware-based traffic steering. It is not intended for desktop PCs lacking a PCIe 3.0 x8 slot or for installations that require fibre-channel or InfiniBand connectivity.

PCI Express 3.0 x8 Interface

The card requires a PCI Express 3.0 x8 connection to deliver its rated 10240 megabits per second per port. Verify that your motherboard or riser provides this link width and generation before purchase.

Questions about this item

What PCI Express slot size and version does the Intel X710DA2 need to fit?

The adapter installs in a PCIe 3.0 x8 slot, so the motherboard must provide at least an x8 electrical connection.

Which orientation step is often missed when installing the X710DA2 in a server chassis?

The low-profile bracket must be swapped for the full-height bracket before securing the card, otherwise the SFP+ cages will not align with the rear panel cut-outs.

What component will need replacement if a 10 GbE link fails after extended use?

The SFP+ transceiver modules inserted into the adapter’s cages are the field-replaceable parts; the adapter itself has no user-serviceable components.
