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 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 Dell EMC Support to recover from this situation.
