Lenovo ThinkSystem Intel XXV710-DA2 10/25Gb 2-Port SFP28 PCIe Ethernet Adapter

The Intel XXV710 is the controller behind the Lenovo ThinkSystem Intel XXV710-DA2 10/25Gb 2-Port SFP28 PCIe Ethernet Adapter, part number 7XC7A05523. It has two SFP28 ports rated at 10/25Gb and fits a PCIe slot.

The XXV710 sits in an earlier Intel generation than newer cards in the same speed class, so it turns up most often as a replacement in servers that were configured with it. In that case, matching the controller keeps drivers, firmware management and monitoring unchanged, which is usually the lowest-risk way to restore a host.

The ports can run at 10Gb or 25Gb, which suits mixed switch environments. Two ports provide a redundant pair or separate networks. The SFP28 cages take SFP28 modules and direct attach cables, which are bought separately.

Double-check the number in the name. DA2 marks two ports and SFP28 connectors, while similar Intel cards in the family use other connector types and part numbers.

The 7XC7A05523 is offered in new, refurbished and used condition. New and refurbished cards carry a warranty choice of 1 year or 3 years, and used cards carry 90 days. Send your quantity and server model with your request.
