Intel EX710DA4G2P5 10 Gigabit SFP+ x4 PCIe 3.0 x8 network connector

SKU CH-KSRR-VP6PH MPN EX710DA4G2P5

Quad-port 10 Gigabit SFP+ adapter on PCIe 3.0 x8 with hardware offloads for virtualised servers and NFV workloads

  • Four 10 GbE SFP+ ports for high-density server connectivity
  • PCIe 3.0 x8 interface provides ample throughput for multi-port traffic
  • Hardware offloads for VxLAN, GENEVE, NVGRE and MPLS reduce CPU load
  • Intel Ethernet Flow Director steers application traffic in hardware
  • DPDK-optimised driver stack accelerates packet processing for NFV workloads

Four-port 10 GbE server adapter

The Intel Ethernet Converged Network Adapter X710-DA4 provides four SFP+ ports running at 10 Gigabit per second over a PCI Express 3.0 x8 interface. It is built for data-centre servers that need high-density 10 GbE connectivity for virtualised workloads, NFV appliances or cloud infrastructure. The 700 Series controller supports hardware offloads for VxLAN, GENEVE, NVGRE, MPLS and VxLAN-GPE with NSH. Intel Ethernet Flow Director and Dynamic Device Personalisation steer application traffic directly in hardware.

Low-profile thermal design for rack density

The adapter uses a low-profile form factor that fits 1U and 2U server chassis without blocking adjacent slots. Passive heatsinks dissipate heat from the 710 controller and transceiver modules using chassis airflow alone, so no onboard fan adds acoustic noise. Power draw scales with the number of active SFP+ modules and link speed, staying within the PCIe 3.0 x8 slot envelope. DPDK-optimised drivers reduce CPU cycles per packet, lowering overall platform power during normal traffic.

Sustained line-rate throughput under load

Under continuous multi-queue traffic the 710 controller maintains wire-speed performance across all four ports thanks to intelligent offloads and Flow Director filtering. DDP profiles accelerate packet processing for NFV and cloud deployments without CPU bottlenecks. Kernel and DPDK driver paths both scale to millions of packets per second, preventing throughput collapse during prolonged bursts. The card is not suited for desktop PCs lacking PCIe 3.0 x8 slots or SFP+ cabling infrastructure.

Questions about this item

How do I install the Intel X710-DA4 into a PCIe 3.0 x8 slot, and what step is often missed?

Insert the card into a PCIe 3.0 x8 slot, secure the bracket, then attach SFP+ modules before cabling; the step often missed is loading the DPDK or kernel driver so the four 10 Gigabit ports initialise correctly.

What maintenance or replacement will the EX710DA4G2P5 need over time?

The adapter itself has no moving parts, but the four SFP+ transceivers are hot-pluggable and may need replacement if a port link degrades or a different fibre type is required.

What limit appears first on the Intel Ethernet 700 Series adapter under sustained 10 Gigabit loads?

Sustained line-rate traffic across all four ports can saturate the PCIe 3.0 x8 host bus, making host throughput the first bottleneck before the controller reaches its processing ceiling.
