Product Identity

The Lenovo ThinkSystem XXV710-DA2 is a dual-port 25Gb Ethernet adapter built on the Intel XXV710 controller. It targets servers and workstations that need 25GBase-X connectivity over SFP28 transceivers for high-throughput networking tasks.

Installation Checklist

Verify that your system has an available PCI-Express slot and confirm which bracket height your chassis requires; the full-height 3U bracket is pre-attached and a low-profile 2U bracket is included in the box. Ensure you have compatible SFP28 modules and cabling for the 25GBase-X links you plan to deploy.

Build Integration

The adapter occupies a single PCI-Express slot and provides two SFP28 cages, freeing you from onboard 1Gb or 10Gb limits while leaving other expansion slots open for storage or compute cards. Its dual-port design supports link aggregation or separate networks without adding a second adapter.

Questions about this item

What is included in the box with the XXV710-DA2, and do I need to buy SFP28 transceivers separately?

The package contains the 25Gb 2-Port SFP28 Ethernet adapter with a full-height bracket attached and a low-profile bracket included. SFP28 transceivers and cables are not included and must be purchased separately.

How do I choose between the two bracket versions supplied with the 7XC7A05523?

The full-height bracket is already fitted for standard 3U servers. The low-profile bracket in the box is for 2U or slim chassis. Swap brackets before installation to match your server form factor.

What does the 25GBase-X speed rating mean when the XXV710-DA2 is installed in a PCI-Express slot?

Each of the two SFP28 ports can carry up to 25 Gb/s of Ethernet traffic. Actual throughput depends on the transceiver, cable, switch port and the PCI-Express generation of the host slot.
