Howdy, looking for some clarification regarding the BCM57800-S vs 57800-T Dell daughter cards. I picked up an r620 on ebay that listed "Broadcom BCM57800-S 2x 10Gbe / 2x 1Gbe BASE-T Daughter Card" in the description. The photos showed 2x10gbe sfp ports and 2x1gbe rj45. However, the server actually came with all ports being rj45.

I assumed BCM57800-S meant sfp version and -T meant rj45 version. But my internet searches have confused me. Basically, I'm wondering if I was right to expect the sfp ports, therefore in the right to contact the seller for resolution. But I'm not even sure what the -S version even means.

Help is appreciated. Thanks.
