Single-port 25GbE SFP28 adapter
The Intel XXV710-DA1 is a single-port network adapter that delivers 25GbE connectivity over an SFP28 interface. It installs in a PCIe 3.0 x8 slot and supports speeds of 1, 10 and 25Gbps. The card is built for server and data-centre environments.
Virtualised and cloud workloads
This adapter suits administrators running virtualised hosts, cloud platforms or storage clusters that need SR-IOV, DPDK or VXLAN and NVGRE offload. It is not for desktop users or small-office routers that only require 1GbE RJ45 connectivity.
PCIe 3.0 x8 slot requirement
The card requires a free PCIe 3.0 x8 slot to operate at its rated 25Gbps throughput. Systems limited to x4 electrical lanes or older PCIe generations will restrict bandwidth.

Questions about this item
How can I confirm the XXV710-DA1 is operating at 25 Gbps after installation?
Check the link speed in your OS network settings or switch management console; it should report 25 Gbps when a compatible SFP28 module and cable are connected.
The card has an SFP28 port — does the box include a transceiver or must I buy one separately?
The adapter ships with standard and low-profile brackets only; a 25G SFP28 transceiver and matching fibre or DAC cable must be purchased separately.
Should I choose the XXV710-DA1 or a dual-port 25G card for my server?
Select the XXV710-DA1 when you need a single 25G SFP28 connection on a PCIe 3.0 x8 slot; choose a dual-port model only if two independent 25G links are required.
