Overview

Simplify technology transitions with the Intel® Ethernet Network Adapter X710-T2L and X710-T4L for OCP 3.0. Autonegotiation between port speeds provides maximum flexibility in dual and quad-port 10GBASE-T configurations. These low-power adapters also support Energy Efficient Ethernet to efficiently reduce power consumption during periods of low data activity.
The X710-T2L and X710-T4L for OCP 3.0 are part of the Intel® Ethernet 700 Series, the foundation for server connectivity; providing broad interoperability, critical performance optimizations, and increased agility for Communications, Cloud, and Enterprise IT network solutions.
• Interoperability – Multiple speeds and media types for broad compatibility backed by extensive testing and validation.
• Optimization – Intelligent offloads and accelerators to unlock
network performance in servers with Intel® Xeon® processors.
• Agility – Both Kernel and Data Plane Development Kit (DPDK) drivers for scalable packet processing.
The OCP NIC 3.0 specification defines a standardized design for a new generation of network adapters. Simple and straightforward form factors, clear manageability requirements, and improved serviceability help simplify deployment for current and emerging capabilities.
