We have sold 1000s of these cards and know X520s more than most so definitely read below! No Fakes Period.
This Intel made/version of the X520-DA2 is much more compatible(These use the genuine Intel boot code while the Dell X520's use a modified firmware version more tuned to their Poweredge Servers and Lifecycle Controller, while the HP versions report differently and use different firmware too) than cheaper Dell or HP versions of the X520! We do not sell anything counterfeit.
All ports tested day cards go out and unlike most any other Ebay seller, we also update the Intel boot code to the latest Combo PXE / UEFI version, not as easy as you think and make these the most compatible version of these cards around!
Pulled in good working order from retired servers from a multi billion dollar company. No broken clips / heatsinks etc!
Some servers(especially SuperMicro / Synology / Lenovo / HP) do not like the Dell or HP versions where this real Intel made version does work great in them. These significantly better Intel's work perfectly fine in Dell also. The real Intel 82599 / 82599ES chipset of the cards also tends to be more supported and trouble free than the Intel X710-DA2 + in many applications.
This card is for use with SFP Optics or Direct Attach Cable/DACs, it is not a RJ45 Copper Card.
Works with any brand 10Gb SPF+ DAC / Direct Attached Cable & 1Gb SX / LX SFP GBIC optics. For 10Gb SFP+ SR / LR Optics, Intel branded is recommended.(Sometimes other brands work fine & we can help with workarounds for certain OS's but we can not guarantee if not using Intel 10gb transceivers ie E10GSFPSR, E10GSFPLR), we have them if you need so feel free to message.
Any seller that tells you the Dell/HP version and the Intel version of the X520 are the same is either lying or does not know what they are really selling. We do know having sold 1000s of these E10G42BTDA .
Ships from U.S.A. ! We also can ship via Ebay's International Shipping Program no problem.
