Potentially an option for adding 2.5GbE support would be this: MPX-225 - 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet LAN Mini-PCIe Module - Global American
It's the only non-realtek 2.5GbE option I could find. I reached out for a price and it's just a little over $60 for this card. I honestly don't need 2.5GbE for my...
I finally found a document that shows what cables they support and yeah its a no go on breaking out those ports for the time being at least. It appears that they have been adding support for additional cables in the later software releases. PDF with details below...
Just tried a 100G QSFP28 to 4X 25G SFP28 Breakout DAC in one of the 100g ports on the 7650 and it does not appear to be supported as I'm getting the following from show media: Port 1/3/2: Type : 40GBASE-Passive Copper 1m (QSFP+) (Not Supported)
The cable is juniper coded any idea if this...
Picked up an ICX-7650-48ZP on ebay and it has not arrived yet. Wondering if anyone can confirm actually how the breakouts work or don't? The documentation says the backports can be used for uplink but then that will not allow the front 4x10gb ports to work and there is no indication about the...
Tossed this unit into my network and I was able to secure one of the S+RJ10 10gbe modules works flawlessly with the x540. As others have stated its really a dumb switch at this point but really is a great value.
Not sure I've only installed one of x540-t2 cards into my Z170 desktop system. I'm running mellanox connectx-3's in all my servers. I've got a X99 system that I plan to put the other one into. I'll see where I land with that. Might end up getting different cards if it doesn't work with all my ram.
Z170 is an intel chipset very consumer board... Your Z820 is a workstation and is likely running a Cxxx chipset which will likely not have an issue. Here is the thread I was talking about: DELL X540-T2 10 GbE NIC want allow M/B to boot
There is also another post on dell's forums about it...
I just recently got 2 of the dell cards and they use the standard drivers, you can even flash the latest intel firmware. The one odd ball thing and you can google this is that there is a memory issue with intel consumer chipsets where basically your system won’t post if it has a lot of ram. I...
