Intel branded Network Daughter Cards (NDC) and Network Interface Cards (NIC) specify the use of only Intel
branded SFP+ optical modules for use with optical cables. When ordering a system with optics, the
appropriate Intel branded SFP+ optical modules are included with your order. If you already have SFP+
optical modules, ensure that they are the Intel branded modules before inserting into the NDC or NIC. Twinax
cables are also the supported network cables for Intel NDC and NIC.
CAUTION: Using any brand of SFP+ module other than Intel during deployment disables the 10 GbE ports.
Call Dell EMC Support to recover port functionality.
WARNING: Hot-plugging an unsupported SFP+ module causes ESXi host to fail with purple diagnostic
screen. Call Support to recover from this situation.
