Spare part 00AG573 is the Emulex VFA5.2 2x10GbE SFP+ PCIe Adapter, which corresponds to option 00AG570 with feature code AT7S. It belongs to the Emulex Virtual Fabric Adapter 5 generation 2 family and is built on the XE102-P2 controller.

Two empty SFP+ cages accept either SFP+ SR optical modules with LC connectors or twin-ax copper direct-attach cables. The dual-channel controller delivers line-rate 10 Gb Ethernet over a PCI Express 3.0 host interface. Jumbo frames of 9216 bytes, receive side scaling and IPv4 and IPv6 checksum and large send offloads are supported.

Three NIC virtualization modes are included: vNIC1, vNIC2 and Unified Fabric Port, with four partitions per port. SR-IOV provides 62 virtual functions, and RoCE v2 handles remote direct memory access. FCoE and iSCSI offload can be switched on with a Features on Demand upgrade. Typical power is 14.4 W, and the card runs at 0 to 55 degrees C in 5 to 95 percent non-condensing humidity.
