Extended Product Information
FAQs
Does this card work in a standard PCIe x16 slot?
No, this is an OCP 3.0 form factor card and requires a compatible OCP 3.0 slot on the server motherboard.
What type of cabling do I need?
This adapter uses QSFP28 ports, which support DAC (Direct Attach Copper), AOC (Active Optical Cables), or standard fiber optics with compatible transceivers.
Is this card suitable for home use?
No, it is designed strictly for enterprise servers and data center infrastructure.
Does it support 10GbE speeds?
Yes, the adapter is capable of negotiating various speeds including 1000, 10000, 25000, 50000, and 100000 Mbit/s.
What is the benefit of iWARP/RDMA?
It allows the adapter to read/write directly to system memory, bypassing the CPU to significantly reduce latency and increase throughput.
Troubleshooting
Link light does not illuminate
Verify the QSFP28 transceiver is fully seated and the fiber cable is correctly connected at both ends.
Virtual machine network performance is slow
Ensure that SR-IOV is enabled in the BIOS/UEFI settings and that the latest drivers are installed on the host OS.
OS does not detect the card
Check the OCP 3.0 slot seating and consult the server manual to ensure the PCIe slot is enabled in the system firmware.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Extremely high throughput capacity
- Hardware-level virtualization offloading
- Low-latency data processing via DDIO
- Support for industry-standard networking protocols
- Efficient power management and performance optimization
Cons
- Requires OCP 3.0 server slot
- Not compatible with consumer PCs
- Requires specialized fiber/QSFP28 cabling
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation of this adapter requires a server chassis with an available OCP 3.0 expansion slot. Because this is a high-speed fiber device, you must use compatible QSFP28 modules (optical or DAC) appropriate for your reach requirements.
- Physical Installation: Ensure the server is powered down and the chassis is opened. Slide the OCP 3.0 card into the designated slot until the locking mechanism engages.
- Drivers: Always check the Intel support website for the most recent drivers for your specific operating system to ensure full compatibility with advanced features like SR-IOV.
- Care: The card is sensitive to electrostatic discharge; use proper grounding techniques. Keep the operating temperature between 0°C and 65°C, ensuring the server’s cooling system is sufficient for the high-density nature of this component.
