Lenovo Emulex VFA5.2 ML2 Dual Port 10GbE SFP+ | Mezzanine, PCIe 3.0

Keep storage and application traffic moving with a dual-port 10 GbE adapter designed for Lenovo System x platforms. The Emulex VFA5.2 ML2 adapter fits the mezzanine slot architecture used in supported x3550 M5, x3650 M5, x3850 X6/x3950 X6, nx360 M5, and x3750 M4 systems, giving teams a compact way to add high-speed network connectivity without consuming a standard PCIe expansion slot. Built on PCI Express 3.0 and using SFP+ connectivity, this adapter is suited for environments that need predictable throughput and clean cabling in dense server configurations. Lenovo positions the VFA5.2 family as an evolution of the prior VFA5 generation, with RoCE v2 support and improved management integration through Lenovo XClarity. That matters when you are standardizing server fleets and want fewer moving parts in the operational model. For infrastructure teams balancing performance, manageability, and chassis efficiency, this adapter delivers the right kind of upgrade: targeted, proven, and aligned to enterprise server platforms already in service.
