Intel E810CQDA1OCPV3 100 Gigabit network card

SKU CH-2FBD-W8XHG MPN E810CQDA1OCPV3

100 Gigabit Ethernet card built to the OCP NIC 3.0 standard for cloud and HPC workloads

  • Optimised for NFV, storage, HPC-AI and hybrid cloud workloads
  • OCP NIC 3.0 standardised design simplifies deployment and serviceability
  • 100 Gigabit bandwidth supports demanding cloud applications
  • Application Device Queues improve response-time predictability
  • Dynamic Device Personalisation enhances packet classification capabilities

100 Gigabit OCP NIC 3.0 adapter

The Intel E810CQDA1OCPV3 is a 100 Gigabit Ethernet network adapter built to the OCP NIC 3.0 specification. It targets server workloads such as network functions virtualization, storage, HPC-AI and hybrid cloud deployments. The card delivers the bandwidth and application throughput required for demanding cloud applications.

Upgrading from lower-speed server NICs

This adapter replaces slower server network cards when workloads demand 100 Gigabit throughput for edge services, web servers, databases, caching or storage targets. The jump is worth it when application efficiency and predictable response times become bottlenecks. Advanced traffic steering and programmable packet classification help optimize those specific workloads.

OCP 3.0 form factor installation

The card uses the standardized OCP NIC 3.0 form factor designed for simple, straightforward installation in compatible server chassis. Clear manageability requirements and improved serviceability reduce deployment friction. Verify that the target platform supports the OCP 3.0 specification and provides the necessary PCIe connectivity before fitting the adapter.

Questions about this item

Does the OCP NIC 3.0 form factor of the E810-CQDA1 fit a standard PCIe slot?

The card follows the OCP NIC 3.0 specification, so it requires an OCP 3.0-compliant mezzanine slot in the server chassis, not a standard PCIe slot.

What is the common mistake when installing this 100 Gigabit Ethernet card into an OCP 3.0 bay?

The card must be fully seated and the retention latch engaged before power is applied; partial insertion without locking the latch is the step most often missed.

Which component on the Intel 800 series card will need firmware updates over its service life?

The E810 controller firmware should be updated periodically using Intel-provided packages to maintain compatibility and security.
