• Network expansion where 25Gb links are required

Key specifications

• Maximum supported link speed: up to 25 Gb/s per port
• Number of ports: 2 SFP28 ports
• Form factor: add-in network interface card for PCIe slot (server/workstation)
• Supported media: SFP28 transceivers and direct-attach copper (DAC) cables
• Primary use cases: high-bandwidth networking, virtualization, storage connectivity

How to use

Install the Intel E830XXVDA2M into a compatible PCIe slot on a server or workstation following the host system’s installation guidelines. Insert appropriate SFP28 transceivers or DAC cables into the SFP28 ports and connect to corresponding network switches or devices configured for 25Gb links. Configure the host operating system or hypervisor network settings and verify link speed and interface status with standard network management tools.

Usage recommendations

Use certified SFP28 transceivers or manufacturer-recommended DACs to ensure signal integrity and supported link speeds. Verify BIOS and driver compatibility with the host system and apply the latest vendor drivers and firmware for best performance and stability.
