Trial Version and 10gb nic

[SeanLeyne]

Thanks for your help.
With a bit more research it turns out Intel card requires Intel SFP+ modules ( Not mentioned on the Dell web site) and will not work with the dell ones I have.

So I now have one on order that should sort it out but will keep you posted.

Good point about the uplink port but I have not found anything that would suggest a proprietary protocol. The module in the switch is a U691D SFP+ one.

Many thanks again.

I think you have gotten some things mixed-up.

The Dell switch supports stacking uplink, 10GB-CX4, 10GBase-T and 10GB-SPF+ modules. So there are options which are available.

As for the Intel card, there are several options. Intel has CX4, 10GBase-T and SPF+ server adapters. (I have several dual-port CX4 adapters).

So, you can easily mix these units to fit your needs.

Thanks for all your help,

It is now up and running on 10gb. It was just the SFP+ unit in the Intel card. I had a dell module in and now have an Intel module in and it is running as sweet as a nut.

Entirely my fault I thought a Dell SFP+ module would run in a Dell branded Intel card.


Many thanks again.
