Are you talking about the brocade FCX? if so, those four ports are SFP, not SFP+ - that means they're 1gbE only (and shared with the first four copper rj45 ports). Below it there should be a module slot (will have a cover on it) for a 10gbE card, if you pick up one of those it will add two 10gbE ports (in XFP, not SFP+, but using XFP SR optics it will work just fine connected to 10gbE NICs/SFP+ optics on the other side). one of these cards: Brocade ES4625M-FLF-08 10 Gigabit Ethernet XFP Module | eBayjust looked through my parts stach and found a cable...
HP 10GbE SFP+ 5m DAC
p/n: 537965-001
so that plugged into one of the 4 ports with no issue... sweet.. so now just need a regular 1 port 10GbE sfp+ card?
what do you recommend for esxi 7...

indeed! you'll also need an optic for the intel x520, and intel is picky so it will need to be intel branded. as for the fiber, you just need LC multimode fiber. so:
brocade module: Brocade ES4625M-FLF-08 10 Gigabit Ethernet XFP Module | eBay
brocade XFP optic: FOR Juniper SRX-XFP-10GE-SR 10GBase-SR 10G XFP optical transceiver w/60 days WRT | eBay
fiber: 10 Meter 10G Multimode OM3 Duplex LC to LC Fiber Optic Patch Cable | eBay
intel SFP+ SR optic: Intel Ethernet SFP+SR Optics SFP+ transceiver module 1/10G SR X710-DA4 X710-DA2 82145502731 | eBay
this is 4y old but really appreciate it and this beast has been running since then! Runs like a champ...follow this guide exactly: FCX / ICX6610 - Fohdeesha Docs
It has the required steps for enabling web access, just adding an admin user is not enough. You should also definitely be able to flash the latest firmware from the zip in that guide, both the bootloader and OS
