  • RoHS and WEEE compliance meets environmental standards

Dual 10Gbps SFP+ OCP 3.0 adapter for servers

This StarTech O1210I-NETWORK-CARD provides two 10 Gigabit SFP+ ports in an OCP 3.0 form factor. It uses the Intel X710 controller for high-throughput server networking. The card targets administrators upgrading rackmount or blade systems that require dual-port 10GbE connectivity.

Upgrade from single-port or 1GbE OCP cards

Replaces older single-port 10GbE or dual-port 1GbE OCP adapters when bandwidth or port density must increase. The jump is justified when virtualised workloads, storage replication or high-frequency trading saturate existing links and the chassis accepts OCP 3.0 modules.

Tool-less OCP 3.0 insertion.

Installation follows the OCP 3.0 specification: slide the module into the cage until the latch engages. No screws or cables are required inside the chassis. The most common issue is mismatched SFP+ transceivers or DAC cables that exceed the switch port budget, causing link negotiation failures.

Questions about this item

Which server slot does the OCP 3.0 form factor of this card require?

The card uses the OCP 3.0 specification, so it fits any server chassis or motherboard that provides a standard OCP 3.0 mezzanine slot.

What driver step is often missed when installing the Intel X710 based adapter in a hypervisor host?

After inserting the card, install the Intel X710 driver package for your OS, then enable SR-IOV in the BIOS before configuring virtual functions in the hypervisor.

Which replaceable optics do the dual 10Gbps ports accept for future media changes?

Both SFP+ cages accept standard 10 Gbps SFP+ transceivers, so you can swap copper or fibre modules later without replacing the card.
