Quad-port 10GbE server adapter

The Intel X710DA4FH is a quad-port 10GbE network card built for servers and appliances that need high-density connectivity. It installs in a PCI Express 3.0 x8 slot and presents four SFP+ cages for optical fibre or twinaxial direct-attach cables. The controller delivers up to 80 Gb/s bi-directional throughput when all four ports are active, making it suited to virtualised hosts, NFV platforms and cloud infrastructure.

Upgrade from dual-port or 1 GbE links

Replacing a dual-port 10GbE card or a cluster of 1 GbE interfaces with this adapter doubles the port count in a single x8 slot and raises aggregate bandwidth to 40 Gb/s per direction. The jump is worth it when a host runs multiple virtual switches, tenant networks or storage fabrics that exceed the queue depth or offload capacity of older adapters. Workloads that rely on small-packet throughput or heavy VxLAN, GENEVE or NVGRE encapsulation benefit from the hardware offload engines.

Full-height plug-in card with SFP+ cages

Installation is a standard full-height PCIe card insertion; no extra power cable is required. The only common issue is mismatched SFP+ modules — the cages accept both optical transceivers and passive or active twinaxial cables up to 10 m, so the media must match the link partner and distance. Drivers and DPDK support are mature on Linux and Windows Server, but firmware should be aligned with the host kernel or hypervisor version to avoid link negotiation errors.

Questions about this item

What PCI Express slot size and version does the X710DA4FH require?

The card needs a PCI Express 3.0 x8 slot to operate at full 10 Gbps per port.

Which transceiver modules and cables does the quad-port SFP+ interface accept?

The four SFP+ cages support optical fibre modules and twinaxial direct-attach copper cables up to 10 m.

What ongoing care does the adapter need after installation?

Keep the server intake filters clean so airflow reaches the full-height bracket; no other scheduled maintenance is required.
