SFP+ modules for a Intel® Ethernet Converged Network Adapter X520-DA2

[VTHobs]

Can you use different SFP+ modules in this DA2 adapter? I am looking to use either LC fiber or 10G Copper SFP+ modules to a Cisco switch

Thanks!

Hi Michael,

I purchased some 10GB Fiber SPF+ modules and installed them in the adapter and they worked fine.

Sorry for the delay getting back to you and thank you for your help!
