What optical module should the x520 use

Home / What optical module should the x520 use

The Intel X520 card uses Enhanced Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP+) modules to connect to the 10 Gbps fiber network. When the correct one is inserted, reboot and the interfaces should be recognized. I'm hoping I can use a couple of the generic ones I have but wanted to check ahead of installing it. The x520 will accept any DAC (doesn't have to be coded for Intel), but requires Intel-coded SFP+ transceivers on Windows. Has anybody else encountered a Problem like this before or am i missing something? Kind Regards Nik.
