Extended Product Information
FAQs
Does the X710T4G1P5 support iWARP/RDMA?
No, this specific model does not support iWARP or RDMA.
What is the maximum cable length for Category-6A?
The adapter supports Category-6A cables up to 100 meters.
Can I use this in a non-server motherboard?
While it may fit a standard PCIe slot, it is designed for server chipsets and may have compatibility issues with consumer-grade hardware.
What does Intel Flexible Port Partitioning do?
It allows you to split the physical ports into virtual functions, enabling better bandwidth management for virtualized workloads.
Does it require a specific PCIe version?
It is designed for PCIe v3.0 at 8.0GT/s to achieve full performance, though it may function in older versions with reduced throughput.
Troubleshooting
Adapter not detected by the operating system
Check that the card is fully seated in the PCIe slot and verify that the server BIOS recognizes the peripheral.
Slow network speeds on Cat-6 cabling
Ensure the cable length is under 55 meters and check that the cable is certified for 10GbE performance.
Driver installation fails
Download the specific driver version for your operating system from the Intel support portal and ensure you are running as an administrator.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Supports long-range copper connectivity via RJ-45
- Comprehensive suite of virtualization features
- High data transfer rates via PCIe v3.0
- Robust quality of service (QoS) management
- Reliable build quality for server environments
Cons
- Does not support iWARP/RDMA
- Requires PCIe v3.0 slot for optimal performance
- Not suitable for consumer-grade desktop motherboards without server-grade BIOS support
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation
- Ensure the server is powered down and disconnected from the power source.
- Insert the card into an available PCIe v3.0 slot.
- Secure the bracket to the chassis to ensure stability.
- Connect the appropriate RJ-45 cable (Cat-6 for 55m or Cat-6A for 100m).
- Power on the system and download the latest Intel PROSet drivers from the official Intel support website.
Care and Maintenance
- Keep the server chassis clean to ensure adequate airflow over the card's heatsink.
- Regularly update firmware through the Intel server software stack to ensure security and stability.
- Inspect cabling frequently to ensure the RJ-45 clips are intact, as 10GbE connections are sensitive to physical signal degradation.
