Netwerkkaart Intel X710-DA4

The Intel X710-DA4 is a high-performance internal fiber network card designed for data center and enterprise use. It supports a maximum data transfer rate of 10000 Mbit/s, uses a PCI Express host interface, and provides wired fiber connectivity for demanding networking tasks. The adapter implements Intel Data Direct I/O (DDIO) to allow the controller to communicate directly with processor cache, reducing latency, increasing I/O bandwidth and lowering power consumption. It also includes Intel Ethernet Power Management features to reduce idle power and adapt capacity and power according to demand, and supports Single-Root I/O Virtualization (SR-IOV) to present one physical function as multiple virtual devices for virtualized environments.

Advantages

The Intel X710-DA4 offers low-latency data transfer and improved I/O efficiency through DDIO, energy-saving operation via Intel Ethernet Power Management, and native virtualization support with SR-IOV. Its PCI Express interface and fiber connectivity deliver stable high-speed links suitable for intensive networking workloads.

Suitable for

• Data center servers handling high-throughput networking
• Enterprise infrastructure requiring low-latency connectivity
• Virtualized environments using SR-IOV to allocate network resources
• Applications that benefit from power-managed Ethernet and efficient I/O

How to use

Install the Intel X710-DA4 into an available PCI Express slot on a compatible server motherboard following the server and card installation instructions. Connect appropriate fiber transceivers and fiber cabling to the card’s ports. Configure drivers and firmware according to Intel’s documentation, enable DDIO and power-management features in firmware/OS settings if supported, and set up SR-IOV through the hypervisor to expose virtual functions to guest machines as required.

Recommendations

Use the Intel X710-DA4 in systems with supported processors and firmware to fully benefit from DDIO and power-management features. Match fiber transceivers and cable types to the card’s supported optics and ensure driver and firmware versions are up to date. When deploying SR-IOV, plan virtual function allocation and security considerations within your virtualization platform.
