Hello Marco_Canini,
Thank you for posting in Intel Ethernet Communities.
Please share the following information that would help in checking your request.
1. Is this newly purchased adapter?
2. For how long is the E810-2CQDA2 working fine?
3. Do you encounter any issue on the E810-2CQDA2 aside from the Firmware update issue?
4. Can you share if you already tried installing the latest ice driver version 1.9.11 from link below then try updating the Firmware again to version 4.01?

Hello Crisselle,
1. Yes, this is a newly purchased NIC.
2. The NIC appears to be working fine but the OS reports a single Ethernet port even though the NIC is dual port.
3. Same as 2.
4. I have not tried to install the latest driver. I will do that.

Hello Marco_Canini,
Thank you for the swift response.
While we are waiting for you to test the latest driver, can you also share the exact brand and model of the motherboard where the E810-2CQDA2 was installed?
Awaiting to your reply.

Hello Criselle.
After updating the ice drivers as you suggested, I was able to perform the firmware update.
On the upside, I now have more information from the driver about the NIC.
On the downside, I am still unsure why, despite this is a dual-port NIC, only one port comes up
The driver's log shows some message about the PCIe bandwidth being limited:

The message above seems to reference a wrong PCI ID (00:03.1) though.
The NIC's PCI ID is 02:00.0 and I've the following info about it.
It mentions a downgrade of the PCI width from x16 to x8.

The NIC is installed on an ASUS ESC N4A-E11. The server board is ASUS KMPN-U16 Server Board. The NIC is installed in the PCIe Gen4 expansion slot.

Hello Marco_Canini,
Thank you for the reply.
We are glad to hear that the Firmware update was successful. To further check the issue wherein OS reports a single Ethernet port even though the NIC is dual port, please check and share the following information.
1. Have you tried installing the E810-2CQDA2 on another PCIe slot or different motherboard?
2. Please check the compatibility of the card with the board's manufacturer.
3. When you say only one port comes up, does this mean that any of the two ports only work? Or only the port 1 is working?
Looking forward to your reply.
Should there be no response from you, I’ll make sure to reach out after 3 business days.
Best regards,
Crisselle C.

Hello Criselle.
1. We tried at a different PCIe slot but in that case the OS does not even recognize the presence of the card.
2. We are contacting their support.
3. I mean that at the level of the OS, there exists only one interface that we can configure and use. The driver's log refers to it as port 0. On the NIC, the is the port that is farthest from the PCI connector. In the photo below, it is the port with the DAC cable plugged (the black cable). This port works. We can bring up the link and the port appears to work. But the other port is not visible from the OS.

Hello Marco_Canini,
Appreciate your swift reply.
Please try checking below link as this might help resolving the issue.
Only One Port of the Intel® Ethernet Network Adapter E810-2CQDA2 Is Working on a Dell PowerEdge R740
Resolution:
It is important to review the bifurcation settings in BIOS to ensure the card is working with PCIe x16 bifurcation enabled. There have been reports from customers that were able to solve this issue by enabling the bifurcation setting in the system BIOS.
Please contact the system/platform manufacturer for detailed instructions on how to perform the necessary adjustments.
Here is the list of System Manufacturer
