Frequently Asked Questions

What is the advantage of the OCP3 form factor?

OCP3 cards install without tools and standardize network card serviceability across large server fleets.

Can this run at 10GbE if 25GbE isn't needed?

Yes, the ports support both 10GbE and 25GbE operation.

For data centers standardizing on OCP server architecture, this adapter delivers flexible multi-speed networking without the friction of traditional PCIe card installation.
