Extended Product Information
FAQs
Can I use this adapter in a standard PCIe x8 slot?
No, this is an OCP 3.0 form factor card designed for specific server internal slots; it is not compatible with standard desktop PCIe slots.
Does this adapter support copper cables?
Yes, it supports both fiber optics and copper (DAC) cables through the SFP28 interface.
What is the benefit of iWARP for my server?
iWARP allows for RDMA over standard Ethernet, enabling lower latency and higher throughput by offloading network transport tasks from the CPU.
What operating systems are supported?
The adapter is designed for server-class OS environments, typically including various Linux distributions, VMware ESXi, and Windows Server versions.
Can I partition the ports on this card?
Yes, using Flexible Port Partitioning, you can logically divide the physical ports into multiple virtual functions to manage bandwidth allocation.
Troubleshooting
Adapter not detected by the host operating system
Ensure the OCP 3.0 card is fully seated in the slot and check that the server BIOS/UEFI is configured to recognize the OCP mezzanine card.
Network link failing to establish at 25GbE speeds
Verify that the SFP28 optics or DAC cables used are rated for 25GbE and that the switch port is configured for the matching speed and duplex settings.
High CPU utilization during network traffic
Ensure that the drivers are up to date and that SR-IOV and VMDq features are correctly enabled in both the BIOS and the guest operating system.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation of the E810-XXVDA2 must be performed within a server chassis that specifically supports the OCP 3.0 form factor. Unlike standard PCIe cards, OCP 3.0 cards are hot-pluggable and slide into a designated internal bay. Before installation, ensure the server is powered down and that the latest drivers for the Intel 800 Series are installed within your operating system. For maintenance, ensure the server environment is climate-controlled between 0°C and 65°C to maintain operational integrity. Always handle the card by the edges and use proper ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) protection to prevent damage to the delicate internal components.
