Lenovo ThinkSystem Intel X710-DA4 10Gb 4-Port SFP+ PCIe Ethernet Adapter

Four SFP+ ports at 10GbE share one PCIe slot on the Lenovo ThinkSystem Intel X710-DA4 10Gb 4-Port SFP+ PCIe Ethernet Adapter, part number 7XC7A05525. The controller is an Intel X710.

Four ports let a single server serve several networks, such as production, storage, backup and management, without spending extra slots. You can also pair ports for resilience, with each pair going to a different switch. The SFP+ cages take direct attach copper cables for short in-rack links or pluggable optics for longer runs. None are included, so choose them to match your switches.

Intel X710 is among the widely supported server controllers, so operating system and hypervisor drivers rarely cause trouble. As a ThinkSystem-branded card, it is the number that matches a Lenovo server's parts list, which matters for support and for firmware management.

Check the port count when replacing a card: the two-port DA2 version has a very similar name but a different part number.
