FAQs
Does this adapter support 1GbE speeds?
Yes, the E810-XXVDA2 supports 1GbE, 10GbE, and 25GbE data rates.
Can I use this in a standard desktop PC?
While it uses a standard PCIe slot, it is engineered for server environments and may lack driver support for standard desktop operating systems.
What is the maximum power consumption?
Power requirements vary by workload; please consult the official Intel specification document for your specific configuration.
Does it support fiber and copper cabling?
Yes, it supports SFP28-based copper (DAC) and fiber optic cables/transceivers.
Is SR-IOV enabled by default?
SR-IOV must be enabled within the BIOS/UEFI settings of your server and configured within the host operating system.
Troubleshooting
Adapter not detected by the host operating system
Verify the PCIe card is fully seated in the slot and check for relevant driver updates from the official Intel support portal.
Link activity light is off
Check the SFP28 transceiver connection or cable integrity and ensure the corresponding switch port is properly configured.
Performance lower than expected
Ensure the PCIe slot is correctly negotiated at x8 width and that the OS is not hitting processor bottlenecks due to high interrupt traffic.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Extremely low latency with hardware-based RDMA/iWARP
- High-density dual-port configuration for scalable infrastructure
- Advanced virtualization features including SR-IOV and VMDq
- Optimized for modern data center efficiency and high-bandwidth throughput
Cons
- Requires SFP28 cabling (DAC or Optical) which must be purchased separately
- Specifically designed for enterprise servers, not compatible with consumer desktop hardware
- High-performance features require specific OS driver support for full functionality
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Ensure your server has a vacant PCIe 4.0 x8 slot. The adapter ships with both low-profile and full-height brackets, making it compatible with both standard and 2U rackmount server chassis. When installing, handle the board by the edges to avoid electrostatic discharge damage to the delicate components. Ensure you have the correct SFP28 transceivers or Direct Attach Copper (DAC) cables compatible with your existing switch hardware. Drivers for various operating systems can be located on the Intel Support website. For long-term reliability, ensure the server chassis provides adequate airflow, as the adapter is rated for operation between 0°C and 55°C.
