Intel X710 SFP+ RJ45 module

[TobiasP]

We bought a Dell EMC NX3240 with an Intel X710 (2x 10GbE DA/SFP+) and need to connect via RJ45 for 10Gb. Which module can I use?

Thanks!

Hello TobiasP,

Thank you for posting in Intel Ethernet Communities. 

For us to further check the issue, please provide the following details.

1. Are you using an embedded X710 or a PCIe card?
2. If you are using a PCIe card, can you provide photos of the card on both sides focusing on the markings for us to check if the card is an OEM unit.

If you have questions, please let us know. In case we do not hear from you, we will make a follow up after 3 workings days. Thank you.

Best regards,

Hi Michael,

the X710 is embedded.

Thanks a lot

Hello TobiasP,

Thank you for the quick reply and answering our questions. For retail PCIe X710 cards, we have these links that you can refer to for compatible cables and modules.

However, since your X710 is embedded on the board, please contact Dell first to check if they have their own list of validated modules that will work with the onboard X710 or you may also ask them if the modules on our website will work with the onboard X710 as well. Onboard/embedded network cards may have been altered by the board manufacturer that is why it is best to consult them first.

If you have questions, please let us know. In case we do not hear from you, we will make a follow up after 3 workings days. Thank you.

Hello TobiasP,

I hope you're having a wonderful day. I am just making a follow up hoping that you are now talking to Dell for the validated cables and modules that will work with your network card.
