Refurbished dual-port 10GbE SFP+ CNA

This refurbished Emulex Virtual Fabric Adapter III adds two 10 Gigabit Ethernet SFP+ ports to compatible IBM System x servers. It functions as a converged network adapter, handling both LAN and storage traffic over a single interface. The card targets data-centre operators who need to consolidate I/O while supporting fibre-optic or twin-ax copper cabling.

Low power and cooling demand in normal use

The adapter is designed for industry-leading performance per watt, which reduces overall power and cooling requirements in the rack. Storage protocol offloads move processing off the host CPU, lowering system-level energy draw during typical virtualised workloads. This efficiency helps operators fit more virtual machines per physical server without exceeding thermal budgets.

Sustained load scales bandwidth allocation

Under continuous demand the card allows dynamic bandwidth allocation so critical applications receive priority throughput. Offloaded storage protocols keep CPU utilisation stable even when I/O queues remain full for extended periods. The dual-port design provides path redundancy and aggregate throughput for long-running, high-density virtualisation environments.

Questions about this item

How do I install the Emulex Dual Port 10GbE SFP+ VFA III into an IBM System x server, and what step is commonly missed?

Insert the card into a compatible PCIe slot, secure the bracket, then connect SFP+ transceivers and cables; the step often missed is installing the Emulex CNA drivers and configuring the converged network adapter settings in the OS before expecting storage traffic.

What maintenance or replacement will the 95Y3762 need over its service life?

The main replaceable items are the SFP+ transceivers and fiber or twin-ax cables; the adapter board itself has no user-serviceable parts, so plan to swap optics if link speeds change or connectors wear.

What limit appears first on the dual-port 10GbE adapter under sustained heavy load?

The PCIe bus bandwidth and host CPU offload capacity typically saturate before the two 10 GbE ports, so total throughput is constrained by the server slot generation and driver tuning rather than the card itself.
