Is an Intel E610-IT4 Network adapter product # E610IT4OCPV3 compatible with an Proliant ML350 gen11?

Its an OCP SFF server quality 4 port adapter brand new from Intel. Works for 1 Gbs to 2.5 Gbs speeds.

Hi @Robr1 ,

As per the quick specs the recommended network adapter for Proliant ML350 Gen11 is "Intel E810-XXVDA2 Ethernet 10/25Gb 2-port SFP28 Adapter for HPE".

@prajwal_ds,

The E810-XXVDA2 will not auto-negotiate my 2gb internet speed. This new Intel E610-IT4 supposedly will. Only 2.5 gb server adapter available right now. Online stores are sold out!

I purchased an Intel E610-IT4 adapter. Installed into my ML Proliant Gen11 and was not compatible.

Yes got a question for you. Will the nic adapter "Intel E810-XXVDA2 Ethernet 10/25Gb 2-port SFP28 Adapter for HPE". card negotiate 2.5 gb speeds?

Hi @Robr1,

Please refer to this intel document. Here actual speed is not configured at the port or card level, it will be at the Module level. So the module has only 10 and 25GB if auto-negotiate is disabled. Installing the transceiver in the module with the required speed may help you to get it. I assume, if you install a 10GB transceiver, it may negotiate to 2.5 GB speed.

The E610-IT4 is compatible with my ML350 gen11. Just had to find the right driver & works like a charm. Negotiating 2.5 Gbs speeds now.
