Network Card QNAP QXG-10G2SF-X710 Internal Wired PCI Express

The QXG-10G2SF-X710 10 GbE network expansion card provides two 10 GbE SFP+ ports (10G/1G) and is designed for energy-efficient, cost-conscious deployments. It is suitable for multi-user concurrent data access, fast file transfer workflows for photographers and videographers, and latency-sensitive virtualization tasks.

Advantages

This dual-port 10 GbE card supports installation in both QNAP NAS devices and Windows® PCs, enabling flexible use across storage and workstation environments. The fanless design with large-area heat sinks reduces noise while maintaining thermal performance. SR-IOV support enhances network performance for virtual machines, and LED indicators allow easy monitoring of port status in real time.

Key specifications

• Ports: 2 × 10 GbE SFP+ (10G/1G)
• Interface: PCIe Gen3 x8 (compatible with PCIe Gen4 slot)
• Compatibility: QNAP NAS and Windows® PC
• Virtualization: SR-IOV support
• Cooling: Fanless design with large-area heat sinks
• Indicators: LED port status indicators

How to use

Install the QXG-10G2SF-X710 into a compatible PCIe slot on a QNAP NAS or a Windows® PC, ensuring the system is powered off during installation. After physical installation, connect SFP+ modules and fiber or DAC cables as required, then power on the system and confirm link and activity via the LED indicators. Install or update drivers and firmware according to the host device manufacturer’s instructions to enable full functionality, including SR-IOV for virtualized environments.

Recommendations

Use certified SFP+ transceivers or direct attach cables that match your network design, keep firmware and drivers up to date, and verify that the host PCIe slot provides at least Gen3 x8 lanes for optimal performance.
