NETGATE 7100 DUAL-PORT 10GBE FIBER SFP+ COMPATIBILITY

Hi Everyone,
Does anyone know if the NETGATE 7100 DUAL-PORT 10GBE FIBER SFP+ expansion card is compatible to use or will this work if the expansion card is put into the Netgate 1541 model?

It's the same NIC that's used in the 1541 but the installation kit is different:

Hi @stephenw10 ,
Yes, we already have the 7100 dual port nic kit, however, we're hesitant to install it in the 1541 model due to compatibility that's why I consulted first before doing anything to avoid any issue that may arise. Can you assist me with the installation of the 1541 model using the 7100 dual port nic kit?

Like I said the dual port 10GbE is the same so it is compatible but you will need the installation kit for the 1541 which includes an additional fan.
I suggest calling our sales guys directly to be sure you get all the required hardware.
I believe you will need this: https://shop.netgate.com/collections/all-products/products/supermicro-fan-assembly-for-chelsio-adapters
But I'd would still call to be sure.Steve
