Broadcom 57810S - R620

Hi community.

I need to put a specific NIC in my R620 that I have in my lab, I have been consulting the technical specification of the R620 and I have seen that the Broadcom 57810S 2x10Gb SFP+ NIC is supported.

But I need it to be the exact model N20KJ, Since I have seen that there are other models with different serials. But I haven't seen that serial in the specifications.

That is why I want to consult with the community if the NIC Dell N20KJ that serial is compatible with the R620.

Thanks.

The Dell Broadcom 57810S 2x10Gb SFP+ NIC with the specific model N20KJ should be compatible with your Dell PowerEdge R620 server. It's important to note that Dell's server hardware is typically designed to work seamlessly with Dell-branded network cards, and the N20KJ model is likely a Dell OEM version of the Broadcom 57810S NIC.

When using Dell OEM hardware in Dell servers, you can generally expect a high level of compatibility and reliability. However, to ensure compatibility and functionality, it's still a good practice to check the NIC's compatibility with your server's BIOS and firmware versions.

Before installing the NIC, make sure that your PowerEdge R620 server is running the latest BIOS and firmware updates. These updates often include enhancements and support for various hardware components, including network cards.

If you have any specific configuration or installation questions about the NIC, you can also refer to the documentation provided by Dell or Broadcom, which should offer guidance on installation and configuration in a Dell server environment.

In summary, the Dell N20KJ, which is an OEM version of the Broadcom 57810S NIC, should be compatible with your Dell PowerEdge R620 server. Just ensure that your server's BIOS and firmware are up to date to maximize compatibility and performance.
