Network Card Intel X710DA2BLK Internal Fiber 10000 Mbit/s

The Intel X710DA2BLK is an internal fiber network card with a PCI Express host interface and a maximum data transfer rate of 10000 Mbit/s. Designed for server and data center environments, the card supports RDMA over Ethernet (iWARP) and Intel technologies that reduce latency and improve I/O efficiency. The product comes in stainless steel, green and black finishes and is intended for wired high-performance networking applications.

Advantages

This network card supports iWARP/RDMA for low-latency data transfers, Intel Data Direct I/O (DDIO) for improved I/O processing efficiency, and SR-IOV and Flexible Port Partitioning (FPP) for native device sharing across virtual machines. Additional technologies such as Virtual Machine Device Queues (VMDq) and Intel Ethernet Power Management help reduce CPU overhead and idle power consumption while maintaining throughput.

Suitable for

• High-performance servers and data centers requiring low-latency networking
• Virtualized environments with multiple virtual machines
• Applications using RDMA for fast data movement
• Systems needing high-bandwidth fiber connectivity over PCI Express

How to use

Install the Intel X710DA2BLK into an available PCI Express slot on a compatible server or workstation following your system manufacturer's instructions. Connect fiber cables to the card's appropriate ports and configure the operating system network drivers supplied by Intel. For virtualized deployments, enable SR-IOV or Flexible Port Partitioning in firmware/host settings and configure virtual functions in the hypervisor as required. Verify RDMA/iWARP settings and DDIO support in the server platform for optimal latency and throughput.

Recommendations

Use certified fiber transceivers and compatible fiber cabling, keep firmware and drivers up to date, and consult platform documentation to enable DDIO, SR-IOV, and power management features for best performance in data center and virtualized environments.
