Thanks I think the 82599ES is spf+ port. I need a rj45 based ethernet ports. What equivalent card be for that?the i2s one, 82599ES should be plenty
Amazing thank you so so much. Will a used one something like this be fine?intel x540-T1 has single 10gig rj45 with same core as 82599ES. (T2 for dual 10gig)
When buying used, make sure its actual intel's not Chinese counterfeit. (i.e. lack of intel print on pcb)
(here are some tips -- while its for x520-da2 -- its about the same How to distinguish 10-Gigabit network card Intel X520-DA2 from Chinese fakes with x540's)
Great thanks so so much!!looks legit
Cool thanks so much!! Your advice was of big help. Just ordered two cards for two different servers.No, you do not have to. Just do not use nic's on the board. You can have as many nic's as you'd like, and use whichever you like.
IPMI has dedicated port not bound with your normal built-in nic's.
