Product Identity

The HP X520-DA1 is a 10Gb PCIe network interface card built around an Intel 82599EN controller. It provides a single SFP+ port for 10 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity using SFP+ modules, direct-attach cables or active optical cables. The card targets servers and workstations that need high-throughput wired networking for storage over Ethernet such as iSCSI, FCoE and NFS.

Installation Notes

The card fits PCIe x8 or x16 slots and includes both a standard and a low-profile bracket for small form factor cases. Windows 11 requires careful driver setup as noted by the supplier, while Windows Server 2003 through 2019, Linux, ESXi and FreeBSD are supported natively. The adapter does not support hot-swapping and the SFP+ port operates at 10G only, with no 1G, 2.5G or 5G fallback.

Suitability

This NIC suits administrators deploying 10GbE links in virtualised or storage-heavy environments that can supply compatible SFP+ transceivers. Buyers who need multi-gigabit speeds below 10G, multi-port density, hot-plug capability or guaranteed out-of-the-box Windows 11 operation without driver intervention should look elsewhere.

Questions about this item

How can I verify the Intel 82599EN controller is running at 10G after setup?

Check the link speed in your OS network adapter settings or switch port statistics; the card only operates at 10G and will not negotiate 1G, 2.5G or 5G.

What is included in the box and what must I buy separately?

The package contains the X520-DA1 card, a full-height bracket and a low-profile bracket; you must purchase a compatible SFP+ transceiver, DAC or AOC separately.

Which version should I choose for a low-profile server chassis?

This single-port X520-DA1 model ships with both full-height and low-profile brackets, making it the correct choice for compact servers.
