Product Information

If you have any question or if there is information missing, ill try my best to answer as fast as possible. CONFIDENTIALITY. This Agreement and the Materials are Intel confidential information and subject to Your valid corporate non-disclosure agreement with Intel (CNDA). Except as authorized in Section 2.1, you must not disclose this information to anyone, including the U.S. government. This Agreement will not become effective, or will automatically terminate, in the absence of a CNDA.

We can see the NICs are using the Intel i40e driver, which is Intel’s mainstream Fortville driver shared with the XL710 series and even the X722 PCH networking options found in Xeon Scalable platforms and the embedded NICs in the Xeon D-2100 series. We can also see SR-IOV support. Status: Cap+ 66MHz- UDF- FastB2B- ParErr- DEVSEL=fast >TAbort- SERR-

Note The Intel X710 adapters are optimized for data center, cloud, and mobile applications and include the following features: SFF-8472 identifier must have value 03h (SFP or SFP Plus). You can verify the value with the cable manufacturer.

Converging data and storage onto one fabric eliminates the need for multiple adapters, cables and switches License. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, Intel grants to You, for the Term, a limited, nonexclusive, nontransferable, revocable, worldwide, fully paid-up license under Intel’s intellectual property rights in the Materials, without the right to sublicense, to use the Materials in the development of Your Products, including modifying Materials delivered as source code, and distributing the Materials, including Your modifications, in object form, embedded in or for execution on Your Product and under terms and conditions consistent with Your rights and obligations under this Agreement. You may disclose the Materials to Your subcontractor for its work on Your Products under an agreement preventing the subcontractor from disclosing the Materials to others. Flexible technology options The host-based virtualization technologies supported by Intel VT include VMDq for Emulated Path: Adapter-based Queue sorting enabling efficient hypervisor-based switching Especially as we move to the PCIe Gen4 server generation in 2021 we are going to see the OCP NIC 3.0 slot become ubiquitous. It can handle high-performance dual 100GbE networking or 10x what this card can achieve. Still, this is what Intel is selling as “basic connectivity” in this space. Some deployments will have servers with OCP NIC 3.0 slots and will not need 25GbE or faster speeds. Intel X710 NIC in Linux No Implied License. Except for the express license in Section 2.1, Intel does not grant any express or implied licenses to you under any legal theory. Intel does not license You to make, have made, use, sell, or import any Intel technology or third-party products, or perform any patented process, even if referenced in the Materials. Any other licenses from Intel require additional consideration. Nothing in this Agreement requires Intel to grant any additional license.Intel classifications are for general, educational and planning purposes only and consist of Export Control Classification Numbers (ECCN) and Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS) numbers. Any use made of Intel classifications are without recourse to Intel and shall not be construed as a representation or warranty regarding the proper ECCN or HTS. Your company as an importer and/or exporter is responsible for determining the correct classification of your transaction. I searched a lot, but still have some questions. I found a lot of 10 GBbE NIC, but couldn't choose the right. The host-based virtualization technologies supported by Intel VT include VMDq for Emulated Path: Adapter-based Queue sorting enabling efficient hypervisor-based switching Entire Agreement. Except for any non-disclosure agreement between you and Intel, this Agreement constitutes the entire agreement, and supersedes all prior agreements, between Intel and You concerning its subject matter.

INDEMNITY. You will indemnify, defend, and hold Intel harmless from any allegation against Intel arising in connection with Your use of the Materials and You will pay all of Intel’s losses, liabilities, and costs (including attorneys’ fees) arising from the allegation. The other major change with this version is that the NIC is designed to be easily swappable with a connector in line with the plane of removing the NIC to the rear of the chassis. That makes installation much easier. The connector is built for PCIe Gen4 speeds and x16 links, but as a dual 10GbE card this is PCIe Gen3. Practically, that has an impact since this card is now using a PCIe Gen4 x16 motherboard slot for what can easily be accomplished in PCIe Gen3 x4. Intel X710 DA2 OCP NIC 3.0 Slot Part number 01DA900 is supported on the x3850 X6 and x3950 X6, however 81Y3520 is not supported on these servers If you ever assembled a server where you had a NIC and the wrong faceplate, it led to some difficult decisions. See the very bottom right for an example of this on STH being obfuscated by cables. Cavium ThunderX2 Test System Rear
