Intel Ethernet omrežni vmesnik X710-T2L – 10GBASE-T, 2 vrati, PCIe (X710T2LBLK)

The Intel X710-T2L Ethernet Adapter is a dual-port, high-performance network interface designed for data center and server environments. It supports wired Ethernet connectivity with a PCI Express host interface and a maximum data transfer rate of 10000 Mbit/s. The adapter implements advanced technologies such as iWARP/RDMA for low-latency fabric services, Intel Data Direct I/O (DDIO) for improved I/O efficiency, and virtualization features including PCI-SIG SR-IOV, Flexible Port Partitioning (FPP) and Virtual Machine Device Queues (VMDq).

Advantages

The adapter reduces latency and increases I/O bandwidth by allowing direct data placement and kernel bypass via iWARP/RDMA and by enabling processor cache access through Intel DDIO. Virtualization capabilities like SR-IOV and FPP let a single physical port be partitioned into multiple virtual functions to ensure fair bandwidth allocation, while VMDq offloads VM switching tasks to hardware to lower host overhead and improve throughput.

Suitable for

• Server and data center networking
• Low-latency compute and storage fabrics using RDMA/iWARP
• Virtualized environments requiring SR-IOV or multi-tenant partitioning
• High-throughput applications and virtual machine hosting

How to use

Install the Intel X710-T2L into an available PCI Express slot on a compatible server motherboard, secure the bracket, and connect the network cables to the adapter's ports. Ensure the server firmware and operating system include drivers supporting the Intel X710 series. Configure network settings, enable required features such as RDMA/iWARP or SR-IOV in firmware and OS network drivers, and verify link and speed through the operating system or management tools.

Recommendations

For low-latency and high-throughput deployments enable Intel DDIO and RDMA/iWARP where supported, and configure SR-IOV or Flexible Port Partitioning to provide dedicated virtual functions to critical workloads. Keep drivers and firmware up to date and follow platform vendor guidance for PCIe slot allocation and BIOS settings to achieve optimal performance.
