Frequently asked questions
What are the key differences between the E830-XXVDA2 and previous generation Intel network adapters?
The E830-XXVDA2 features the new Intel Ethernet Controller E830 with enhanced RDMA capabilities supporting concurrent RoCEv2 and iWARP protocols, improved virtualization features including flexible port partitioning, and precision time synchronization via IEEE 1588 PTP v2. The PCIe 4.0 interface provides double the bandwidth of PCIe 3.0 adapters, enabling full line-rate performance for dual 25GbE ports without bottlenecks.
Is the E830-XXVDA2 compatible with existing server platforms?
Yes, the adapter is compatible with major enterprise server platforms from Dell PowerEdge, HPE ProLiant, Lenovo ThinkSystem, and other x86 architectures with available PCIe 4.0 or PCIe 3.0 slots. The adapter supports Windows Server, Linux, VMware ESXi, Microsoft Hyper-V, and KVM hypervisors with comprehensive driver support across all major operating systems.
What RDMA protocols does the E830-XXVDA2 support?
The adapter supports both RoCEv2 (RDMA over Converged Ethernet v2) and iWARP protocols running concurrently, providing flexibility for heterogeneous data center environments. This enables acceleration of storage protocols (iSCSI with iSER), HPC applications, and other latency-sensitive workloads without requiring separate network infrastructure.
How does the adapter support multi-tenant cloud deployments?
The E830-XXVDA2 includes Intel VT-c virtualization features including SR-IOV for single-root I/O virtualization, VMDq for virtual machine device queues, and flexible port partitioning. These capabilities enable isolated virtual machine networking with predictable performance and reduced hypervisor overhead, essential for cloud service provider deployments.
What precision time synchronization capabilities does the adapter provide?
The adapter is compliant with IEEE 1588 Precision Time Protocol v2 and includes Precision Time Measurement (PTM) v1.0a support, enabling nanosecond-level time synchronization across distributed systems. This is critical for latency-sensitive applications including financial trading, telecommunications infrastructure, and industrial automation.
What media types are supported by the SFP28 ports?
The dual SFP28 ports support both copper media (Direct Attach Cables, 25GBASE-CR and 25GBASE-CR1 Twinax) and fiber optics (25GBASE-SR multimode, 25GBASE-LR single-mode, and 25G-AUI C2M). This flexibility enables deployment in diverse data center topologies with hot-swappable transceiver modules.
What is the power consumption of the E830-XXVDA2?
The adapter features a low-power design that minimizes energy consumption compared to previous generation adapters. Exact power consumption specifications are available in the detailed product datasheet, with the adapter optimized for efficient operation in high-density server deployments.
