Intel X710DA2OCPV3G1P 10GbE network connector

SKU CH-JCST-FGSCT MPN X710DA2OCPV3G1P

Dual-port 10 GbE OCP 3.0 adapter with PCIe 3.0 x8 interface for Xeon servers

  • Dual 10 GbE ports for high-density server connectivity
  • PCIe 3.0 x8 interface delivers 10240 Mbps throughput
  • Low-power design reduces thermal load in dense chassis
  • Hardware offloads for Geneve VXLAN NVGRE virtualization traffic
  • Intel Flow Director and DPDK optimise packet processing on Xeon servers

Intel X710-DA2 OCP 3.0 10 GbE Adapter

This Intel X710-DA2 adapter fits an OCP 3.0 slot and delivers dual-port 10 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity. It targets server and appliance builders who need high-throughput networking in a compact form factor. The PCIe 3.0 x8 interface provides the bandwidth headroom for line-rate traffic on both SFP+ ports. It suits network-function virtualization and cloud infrastructure deployments.

Low-Profile OCP Card With Dual SFP+ Cages

The multi-colour PCB mounts directly into an OCP 3.0 mezzanine bay without a separate bracket. Two SFP+ cages accept standard transceiver modules for fibre or direct-attach copper links. Exceptional low-power operation reduces thermal load inside dense chassis. Hardware offloads for Geneve, VXLAN and NVGRE encapsulation offload tunnelling overhead from the host CPU.

Upgrade Path From Single-Port Or 1 GbE NICs

Replacing a single-port 10 GbE or dual-port 1 GbE card doubles available throughput and adds redundancy. The jump is worth it when virtualized workloads saturate existing links or when NFV appliances require consistent small-packet performance. Intel Flow Director and DPDK optimisation accelerate packet steering for Xeon-based platforms. Buyers needing more than two ports or a PCIe bracket form factor should select a different model.

Questions about this item

What speed does the PCIe 3.0 x8 interface cap the X710-DA2 at in practice?

The PCIe 3.0 x8 link supports up to 10240 Megabits per second, matching the adapter's dual 10 GbE ports.

What slot size and form factor does this OCP 3.0 adapter need to fit?

It requires an OCP 3.0 mezzanine slot; the card is a dual-port SFP+ module designed for that specific form factor.

How is the Intel X710-DA2 installed, and what step is often missed?

Insert the card into the OCP 3.0 cage until seated, then secure the retention latch; drivers for Geneve, VXLAN and NVGRE offloads must be loaded in the OS.
