Lenovo ThinkSystem Intel X710-DA2 10Gb 2-Port SFP+ PCIe Ethernet Adapter

Two SFP+ ports at 10GbE on an Intel X710 controller make up the Lenovo ThinkSystem Intel X710-DA2 10Gb 2-Port SFP+ PCIe Ethernet Adapter, part number 7ZT7A00537. It installs in a PCIe slot.

The DA2 in the name marks two ports with SFP+ cages, intended for direct attach cables or pluggable optics. Direct attach copper is the low-cost choice for in-rack links, and SFP+ optics reach farther. The adapter does not include modules, so plan them with your switch.

Two ports are the standard design for a rack server: one link per switch for redundancy, or one for production and one for storage. The Intel X710 controller is widely supported by operating systems and hypervisors, which keeps driver questions simple across a mixed fleet.

As a ThinkSystem-branded part, it is the one that matches a Lenovo server's bill of materials. Third-party X710 cards may work but can differ in firmware, so use the exact number when replacing an installed card.

The 7ZT7A00537 is offered in new, refurbished and used condition. New and refurbished cards carry 1 year or 3 years of warranty, and used cards carry 90 days. Send your quantity and server model with your request for pricing.
