Dual-port 10GbE server adapter

The Lenovo 01DA900 X710-DA2 provides two SFP+ ports delivering 10Gbps connectivity over PCI Express 3.0 x8. It is built for virtualised server workloads that need high throughput and low latency across clustered workloads.

Sustained throughput under virtualised loads

Intel I/O Virtualization Technology and VMDq offload shift packet processing away from the host CPU during extended traffic bursts. This keeps I/O performance consistent when multiple VMs share the adapter for long-running database or storage replication tasks.

Upgrade path from single-port 1GbE NICs

The jump makes sense when consolidation or east-west traffic saturates existing gigabit links. It does not suit environments that lack SFP+ switching or direct-attach cabling, nor workloads that stay below 1Gbps sustained.

Questions about this item

How much power does the X710-DA2 draw when running continuously?

The adapter uses the Intel X710 controller, which is designed for low power consumption in data-centre environments.

What cables or modules must I already have to connect the two SFP+ ports?

You need compatible 10 Gbps SFP+ transceivers and matching fibre or direct-attach cables for each port.

Will the PCI Express 3.0 x8 interface work in an older PCIe 2.0 server slot?

Yes, the card is backward-compatible and will operate at PCIe 2.0 x8 speeds in a 2.0 slot.
