Intel XL710QDA2OCP 40 Gbps dual QSFP+ network card

SKU CH-V27P-ABW0S MPN XL710QDA2OCP

A low-profile PCIe 3.0 x8 adapter adds two 40 Gbps QSFP+ ports for 10 or 40 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity

  • Dual 40 Gbps QSFP+ ports deliver high-throughput connectivity
  • PCI Express 3.0 x8 interface provides ample host bandwidth
  • Low-profile plug-in card fits dense Open Compute Project chassis
  • Supports 10 Gigabit and 40 Gigabit Ethernet link speeds
  • Hardware offload for TCP/IP, iSCSI, SMB and NFS reduces CPU load

Dual 40 Gbps QSFP+ OCP Adapter

The Intel XL710QDA2OCP is a low-profile PCI Express 3.0 x8 network card with two 40 Gigabit QSFP+ ports. It targets servers and workstations that need high-density 10 Gigabit or 40 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity in Open Compute Project environments. The adapter supports TCP/IP, UDP/IP, iSCSI, SMB and NFS transport protocols.

Step up from single-port 10 GbE

This card replaces a single-port 10 Gigabit adapter when aggregate throughput above 10 Gbps is required. The jump is worth it for storage clusters, virtualisation hosts or backbone links that saturate a single 10 GbE lane and can use both QSFP+ ports at 40 Gbps each. It does not suit builds limited to PCIe 2.0 slots or systems without QSFP+ cabling infrastructure.

Low-profile plug-in with QSFP+ modules

Installation is a standard low-profile PCIe 3.0 x8 insertion; the bracket fits 1U and 2U chassis. The main friction point is sourcing compatible 40 Gbps QSFP+ transceivers or direct-attach cables, as the card ships without optics. Verify switch port negotiation for 10 GbE or 40 GbE modes before deployment.

Questions about this item

Does the XL710QDA2OCP fit in a standard low-profile PCIe 3.0 x8 slot?

The card uses a low-profile plug-in form factor and requires a PCI Express 3.0 x8 slot for installation.

What is the correct way to seat the dual QSFP+ ports during installation?

Insert the card fully until the bracket latch clicks, then attach each QSFP+ transceiver until its own latch engages — partial insertion is the common error.

Which replaceable parts will the XL710QDA2OCP need over time?

The on-board components are not user-serviceable; only the QSFP+ transceivers and compatible fibre or copper cables are replaced as needed.
