10Gb SFP+ PCIe NIC for servers

The LR-LINK LRES1016PF-SFP+ is a 10Gb network card built on the Intel 82599 controller. It connects through a PCI Express 2.0 x4 slot and provides a single SFP+ port for fibre or direct-attach copper links. The card supports IEEE 802.3az and operates at 10000Mbps.

Suits virtualised hosts needing one 10Gb link

This adapter fits servers running Windows Server 2003 R2 through 2019 R2, Windows 7 through 10, Linux kernels 2.6 and later, plus VMware ESXi 4 and later. It is not for buyers who need multiple ports on a single bracket, or who require a 25Gb or higher interface.

Single SFP+ port at 10Gbps line rate

The only 10Gb SFP+ connector decides whether this card matches the uplink you have. If your switch or DAC uses SFP+ and you have a free PCIe 2.0 x4 slot, the card will link at 10000Mbps.

Questions about this item

How do I install the LR-LINK LRES1016PF-SFP+ into a PCI Express 2.0 x4 slot and what bracket mistake should I avoid?

Insert the card into any PCIe 2.0 x4, x8 or x16 slot at 5.0 GT/s, then secure the supplied low-profile or full-height bracket that matches your chassis; the common error is using the wrong bracket height so the screw holes do not line up.

What maintenance will the Intel 82599 controller and SFP+ port need over time?

No scheduled maintenance is required for the controller; keep the SFP+ cage dust-free with compressed air and replace the transceiver module or DAC/AOC cable only if link errors appear.

At what temperature does the card hit its thermal limit during sustained 10 Gbps loads?

The operating range tops out at 55 °C; if case airflow keeps the card below that temperature the 10000 Mbps link remains stable, otherwise throttling or shutdown may occur.
