Using PCIe x8 X710 Single Port 40G QSFP+ Converged Adapter The 710 series implements a PCIe v3.0 x8 host interface and operates up to 8GT/S or 64Gb/s. It provides full functionality to support a single 40Gb/s port, and the device performs all the functions required to transmit and receive as specified in the IEEE standard. Extends Intel R Virtualization Technology from server virtualization to networking with hardware optimization and offload to rapidly provision networks in agile data centers.
