Hi all,
I recently acquired a R720xd and are looking to get a 10G NIC card for it, more specifically a “daughter card” as Dell calls them.
Found 2 cards:
- Broadcom 57800S, MT09V, 2x 10GbE, 2x 1GbE
- Intel X710 DA/SFP+, 68M95, 4x 10GbE
Obviously the quad port card looks the most appealing to me, the prices are not that different. However, I am not entirely sure about if it’s possible to retrofit in the R720, as it was first introduced in R730.
Would anyone know? I have retrofitted several gen8 nics on gen9 servers on hp, hopefully it would also work on dell? As far as I can see, the connector is a pcie x8
