FAQ
Do I need to buy transceivers separately?
Yes. The card has SFP+ cages but ships without optics or DAC cables; add SR/LR modules or a 10G SFP+ DAC cable to make a link.
Will it work in a desktop PC?
Yes, as long as the motherboard has an open PCIe x8 (or longer) slot; many desktops only have x16 GPU slots plus shorter slots, so verify slot availability.
Does it support Windows and Linux?
Driver support depends on the underlying controller chip; common Intel/Mellanox-based cards are well supported, but confirm the chipset before buying for production.
