Mezzanine cards are typically used in blade enclosures, your T620 would more need something like this:
Mellanox ConnectX-3 MCX354A-FCBT Dual Port FDR 56.6 Gb/s Infiniband + 40GbE
It's possible you might be able to use the card to replace the embedded Ethernet on the T620, but chances are...
You could use LACP to do link aggregation, or you could have 1 direct 10GbE connection to 2 other boxes, other than that you don't really gain a whole lot from having a dual slot card over the single-slot. It depends on your intended uses and how much bandwidth you think you'll be pushing total...

I'm considering picking up an ICX6610 because of this thread, but while looking in the manual I saw something that made me want to get clarification:
The manual states that the 4x10GB breakout QSFPs on the back are not for data, they can only be used for stacking. Is this inaccurate, or is...
