Intel® 10 Gigabit Network Adapter Considerations
Intel® 10 Gigabit adapters that support 1 gigabit speed allow you to configure the Speed setting. If this option is not present, your adapter only runs at its native speed.
If the adapter cannot establish link with the gigabit link partner using auto-negotiation, set the adapter to 1 Gbps Full duplex.
Intel 10 gigabit fiber-based adapters and SFP direct-attach devices operate only in full duplex, and only at their native speed. Multi-speed 10 gigabit SFP+ fiber modules support full duplex at 10 Gbps and 1 Gbps.
