Lenovo lists the ThinkSystem Broadcom 57416 10GBASE-T 2-port OCP Ethernet Adapter under feature code B5ST (option 4XC7A08236). It is an OCP 3.0 card with two RJ45 ports for 10GBASE-T copper networking, with a PCIe 3.0 x8 host interface and the Broadcom TruFlow flow-processing engine.
The OCP version supports NC-SI, which lets the server's service processor share the network port for management. Lenovo also lists NIC partitioning with up to 16 physical functions, SR-IOV with up to 128 virtual functions, and RoCE. For 10GBASE-T, Lenovo gives cable limits of 100 m on Category 6a or 7 and 55 m on Category 6.
Siblings with the same controller are the PCIe card 7ZT7A00496 (AUKP), formerly named the Broadcom NX-E PCIe 10Gb 2-Port Base-T adapter, and the ML2 card 7ZT7A00497, now withdrawn. A 4-port OCP variant, 4XC7A08239 (B5SS), adds two 1 GbE ports from a Broadcom 5720 controller to the same two 10GBASE-T ports.
Lenovo lists this OCP adapter for V3 servers (SR630 V3, SR650 V3, SR635 V3, SR655 V3, SR645 V3, SR665 V3, SR850 V3, SR860 V3, SD535 V3, SE455 V3), V4 servers (SR630 V4, SR650 V4, SR650a V4) and V2 servers (SR630 V2, SR650 V2, SR850 V2, SR860 V2), plus the SR635, SR655 and SR665. Confirm that the server has an OCP 3.0 slot and that the switch has 10GBASE-T ports.
