Dual-Port 10Gbps Server Adapter

The Intel X520DA2OCP is a mezzanine-form-factor network card delivering two 10GBase-T ports over a PCI Express x2 host interface. It targets data-centre and cloud operators who need converged LAN and SAN connectivity for NAS storage devices. The RoHS-compliant adapter ships new with a 90-day limited warranty.

Verify Slot And Cabling

Confirm the host system provides an available PCI Express x2 electrical connection that accepts a mezzanine card. Ensure the rack or chassis supplies twisted-pair cabling rated for 10GBase-T operation and that the BIOS or firmware recognises Intel Ethernet converged adapters. Without these prerequisites the card cannot negotiate link speed.

Mezzanine Form Factor Impact

The mezzanine layout means the adapter mounts parallel to the motherboard rather than perpendicular, so standard full-height brackets and external RJ-45 faceplates are not included. Installers must use the server vendor's carrier tray and internal cable assembly to bring the two RJ-45 ports to the chassis rear. No driver media or management software is bundled in the package.

Questions about this item

Does the Intel X520DA2OCP ship with cables or transceivers, or must they be purchased separately?

The adapter has two RJ-45 ports for twisted-pair copper; standard Cat 6a or better patch cables are required and are not included.

This model is listed as PCI Express x2 — will it also work in an x4 or x8 slot?

Yes, the card fits any PCIe slot that is physically x2 or wider; it will negotiate at x2 electrical width.

What real-world throughput can I expect from the 10Gbps rating once the card is installed in a server?

The 10GBase-T ports deliver up to 10 Gbps per port, limited by cable quality, switch capability and host CPU overhead.
