chips, including the following:
o Intel 82598AF 10GbE Adapter (10GbaseSR)
o Intel 82598AF Dual Port 10GbE Adapter (10GbaseSR)
o Intel 82598EB 10GbE Adapter (10GbaseCX4)
o Intel 82598EB 10GbE Adapter (SFP+)
o Intel 82598EB Dual Port 10GbE Adapter (10GbaseCX4)
o Intel 82598EB XF 10GbE Adapter (10GbaseLR)
o Intel 82598AT 10GbE Adapter (10GbaseT)
o Intel 82598AT Dual Port 10GbE Adapter (10GbaseT)
o Intel 82599EB 10GbE Adapter (10GbaseCX4)
o Intel X520-DA2 Dual Port 10GbE Adapter (SFP+)
o Intel X520-SR1 10GbE Adapter (SFP+/10GbaseSR)
o Intel X520-SR2 Dual Port 10GbE Adapter (SFP+/10GbaseSR)
o Intel X520-LR1 10GbE Adapter (SFP+/10GbaseLR)
o Intel X520-QDA1 10GbE Adapter (QSFP)
o Intel X540-T 10GbE Adapter (10GbaseT/1000baseT/100baseTX)
o Intel X550-T 10GbE Adapter (10GbaseT/1000baseT/100baseTX)
o Intel X552 10GbE Adapter (SFP+)
o Intel Xeon-D X552/X557 embedded 10GbE Adapter (SFP+/10GbaseT)
o HotLava Tambora 64G4/80G4/64G6/120G6 (SFP+)
SFP+ adapters generally also support SFP type modules with their
associated 1000base-* media types.
The networking interface should be brought down before disconnecting
fiber optics, otherwise irreversible damage might be caused to the
equipment.
