Product Information
Full details
The Intel E810-XXVDA2 is a high-performance network adapter engineered specifically for data center servers utilizing the OCP 3.0 form factor. Designed for IT professionals and system architects, this card provides superior bandwidth and reduced latency through advanced technologies like iWARP/RDMA and Intel Data Direct I/O. While it offers industry-leading efficiency for virtualized environments, users should note that it requires an OCP 3.0-compatible chassis slot, making it unsuitable for standard PCIe expansion slots on consumer motherboards.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Can I use this in a standard PCIe x8 slot?
No, this is an OCP 3.0 form factor adapter and requires a dedicated OCP 3.0 connector inside the server.
What is the maximum speed supported?
The adapter supports up to 25 Gigabit Ethernet speeds.
Does this card support iSCSI boot?
Yes, it supports Storage Over Ethernet, including iSCSI and NFS.
What is the primary benefit of iWARP on this card?
iWARP provides RDMA over Ethernet, which allows for extremely low-latency data transfers by bypassing the CPU kernel.
Is this adapter compatible with older 1GbE networks?
Yes, it is backward compatible with 1GbE and 10GbE network environments using appropriate SFP28/SFP+ transceivers.
Troubleshooting
Link light not active on SFP28 port
Verify the cable is fully seated and the transceivers on both ends are compatible with 25GbE/10GbE speeds.
Virtual machines showing high latency
Confirm that SR-IOV is enabled in the BIOS/UEFI and that the guest OS is utilizing the correct Virtual Function drivers.
System not detecting the adapter
Reseat the card in the OCP 3.0 slot and check the server's system logs for any PCIe device initialization errors.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
- Physical Installation: This is an OCP 3.0 form factor device. Ensure your server chassis has an OCP 3.0 internal slot. Slide the adapter into the slot until fully seated and secure the retention mechanism.
- Cable Selection: This card utilizes SFP28 connectors. Ensure you are using appropriate SFP28-compliant fiber transceivers, Direct Attach Copper (DAC) cables, or Active Optical Cables (AOC).
- Drivers: Always download the latest Intel Network Adapter drivers from the official Intel support portal for your specific OS (Linux/Windows Server).
- Thermal Management: Ensure the server case provides adequate airflow. The operating temperature range is 0 to 65 °C. Avoid obstructing the airflow around the card.
- Firmware: Keep the firmware updated to ensure compatibility with the latest data center fabric standards.
