Dell Intel X710 10Gb 2-Port SFP+ OCP 3.0 Ethernet Adapter

OCP 3.0 is the form of the Dell Intel X710 10Gb 2-Port SFP+ OCP 3.0 Ethernet Adapter, part number 540-BCOU. It carries two SFP+ ports at 10GbE on an Intel X710 controller, and it installs in a server's OCP slot rather than a regular PCIe slot.

That makes the slot check essential. A server without an OCP 3.0 slot cannot take this module, and the PCIe versions of the same controller have different Dell part numbers. If your server offers an OCP slot, using it leaves the PCIe slots open for storage controllers or other cards.

Two SFP+ ports provide a redundant pair or two networks. Direct attach copper cables and pluggable optics are bought separately, so plan them with your switch ports.

Intel X710 is supported by common operating systems and hypervisors. As with other Dell network options, the part number identifies the exact build, so use the number from your system's parts list when you replace a module.

The 540-BCOU is offered new and refurbished, each with a choice of 1 year or 3 years of warranty. No used offer is listed. Send your quantity and server model with your request for pricing.
