Hi,
Would like a bit of advise on buying a 10Gb nic for my TVS-1282 to move it onto my core switch. The following compatibility page:
https://www.qnap.com/en/compatibility/? ... ategory=11
lists:
Mellanox MCX311A-XCCT Dual port 10 Gigabit network adapter , SFP+ direct attach copper cable
When i look this up on the mellanox site it comes out as a single port, not a duel port:

I do see a MCX312a-XCBT nic that has a duel port:

Would both of these cards be compatible with the TVS-1282.
Thanks for any help provided.
Jon.

Re: 10GE NIC in TVS-1282
I used this Intel card in my TVS-882 and it works fantastic, combined with Intel 10Gb GBICs.

Re: 10GE NIC in TVS-1282
Just an FYI, I tried this card (the Intel server adapter mentioned above) in my TVS-1282 and it did not work. The system complained about not initialing the adapter (5+6) even though it detected that they are network adapters. Inserting SFP+ transceivers would not light up the fiber. The card was fine, it came from an old server in which it worked, and still does when i put it back.
I have since got a QNAP MLX 10Gb adapter that works fine.
I am running QNAP 4.3 so not sure if this makes a difference.

Re: 10GE NIC in TVS-1282
Thanks for the info. I have the same QNap but I find this slightly confusing: I was under the impression that the TVS-1282 had built-in stuff to make it easy to add 10GE - and that Mellanox card would be good since it's cheap and cheerful ($85 on the manufacturer's website). But how does it work? Is that the only thing needed?
The card you got looks like a full 10GE card, whereas the Mellanox looks like a simple adaptor. What is right?

Re: 10GE NIC in TVS-1282
All these 10 GbE interfaces/adaptors are PCIe gen 2 or PCIe gen 3 based - there is nothing "special" there permitting a simplified 10 GbE connector.pierrox wrote: I was under the impression that the TVS-1282 had built-in stuff to make it easy to add 10GE
Which one? Can't locate any on the Mellanox store below US$ 1xxpierrox wrote:and that Mellanox card would be good since it's cheap and cheerful ($85 on the manufacturer's website).
The card must be recognised by QTS, and the drivers must match.pierrox wrote:But how does it work? Is that the only thing needed?

Thanks for your reply!
Saw it yesterday, it was in their refurbished section - 1 year warranty, 60% off, sounds like a rather good deal.
