Buying Guide
The Intel X710-DA2 is the PCIe 3.0 successor to the X520 family — same dual-port SFP+ 10GbE formula, newer Intel Ethernet Controller X710 silicon, and a faster PCIe 3.0 x8 interface for servers built in the last several years. If you're buying it in India for a new server build or a 10GbE upgrade, here's the detail that matters beyond the marketing copy: real specifications, which servers and hypervisors it actually works with, how it compares to pairing it with a compatible SFP+ module, and what to check if it doesn't come up cleanly. Arnav Infosystem ships it as genuine Intel hardware with GST invoicing and the manufacturer-backed 1-year warranty Intel provides on this adapter, fast across India.
Server Compatibility
PCIe 3.0 x8 is a standard, vendor-neutral slot — this card fits any server with a free PCIe x8 (or larger) slot, including the rack servers most Indian enterprises and ISPs already run:
- Dell PowerEdge
Fits standard PCIe 3.0 x8+ slots on PowerEdge rack and tower servers.
- HP ProLiant
Fits standard PCIe 3.0 x8+ slots on ProLiant DL/ML series servers.
- Lenovo ThinkSystem
Fits standard PCIe 3.0 x8+ slots on ThinkSystem SR/ST series servers.
- Supermicro
Fits standard PCIe 3.0 x8+ slots across Supermicro rack and tower boards.
Virtualization & OS Compatibility
Intel's VT-c virtualization technology (SR-IOV, VMDq, VM load balancing) is built into the X710 controller itself, not bolted on afterward — that's what makes it a strong fit across every major hypervisor:
- VMware ESXi
Supported via Intel's i40e driver, with SR-IOV/VMDq for higher VM density.
- Proxmox VE
Works out of the box via the mainline Linux i40e driver Proxmox's kernel ships natively.
- Microsoft Hyper-V
Supported via Intel's Windows Server driver package, including SR-IOV passthrough.
- Linux (generic)
Supported by the in-kernel i40e driver on all major distributions.
- Windows Server
Supported via Intel's official Windows Server driver and PROSet utility.
Official Intel Drivers & Documentation
Source drivers directly from Intel, not a third-party mirror — Intel maintains long-term driver support for the X710 across Windows Server, Linux, and VMware. We don't host driver files; use Intel's own product specification and support page for the current driver package and full official specifications.
Intel X710-DA2 Official Specifications PageCompatible SFP+ Modules
The X710-DA2's SFP+ ports accept the same module/cable types as the rest of Intel's 10GbE SFP+ line:
| Type | Range | Use Case |
|---|---|---|
| DAC (Direct Attach Copper) | Up to ~10m | Cost-effective for short server-to-switch or server-to-server runs in the same rack. Premium DAC Cable SFP 10G (in stock) |
| SR (Short Range, multimode fibre) | Up to ~300m | Standard for in-building runs between racks or floors — verified compatible with this card. Intel FTLX8571D3BCV-IT SFP+ Transceiver (in stock) |
| LR (Long Range, single-mode fibre) | Up to ~10km | For longer inter-building or campus runs — sourced on request. |
Installation Guide
- 1Power down and open the chassis
Shut the server down fully and disconnect power before opening the case.
- 2Ground yourself before handling the card
Use an anti-static wrist strap or touch a grounded metal surface first.
- 3Insert into a free PCIe x8 (or larger) slot
Seat the card fully and secure the bracket screw.
- 4Connect SFP+ modules or DAC cables
Insert until it clicks with light, even pressure — never force it.
- 5Power on and install the driver
Install the current Intel i40e/PROSet driver for your OS from Intel's official page if not already present.
- 6Verify link status
Check the port's link light or your OS/hypervisor's adapter status before relying on it in production.
Troubleshooting
Card isn't detected after installation.
Reseat the card and try a different PCIe slot — some server BIOS configurations reserve specific slots for specific card types.
No link light after connecting a module or cable.
Confirm the module/cable is fully seated and rated for 10GbE, and that the switch port is set to 10G, not auto-negotiating down.
Link is up but throughput is well below 10Gbps.
Check for a damaged cable/module, update the driver, and confirm the PCIe slot isn't running at a reduced lane width.
SR-IOV virtual functions aren't visible in the hypervisor.
Enable SR-IOV in the server's BIOS/UEFI first, then confirm the hypervisor's SR-IOV support is enabled for this device.
MikroTik RouterOS doesn't show 10G link speed.
Confirm you're running a RouterOS version with i40e/X710 support and that the SFP+ module is on Intel's supported list.
