How to install Lenovo Emulex VFA5 2x10 GbE SFP+ PCIe Adapter for Lenovo System x

  • Power down the Lenovo System x server and unplug all cables. Open the chassis according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
  • Identify an available PCI Express 3.0 x8 slot that matches the card’s interface and ensure adequate clearance for the rear I/O panel and cooling.
  • Insert the Emulex VFA5 card firmly into the PCIe x8 slot until it seats completely. Secure the bracket with a screw to prevent movement.
  • Install the SFP+ transceivers (if required by your network) and connect the optical fiber cables to the two SFP+ ports. Ensure proper fiber type and cable length for your deployment.
  • Power on the server and enter the operating system to install or update the drivers. Verify the two 10 GbE interfaces are recognized, configured, and bound to the correct VLANs or networks as needed.
  • Optionally configure link aggregation or NIC teaming for redundancy and throughput. Monitor performance and adjust firmware or driver updates as recommended by Lenovo and Emulex.

Good fit
Both filters fit well on my 2019 Honda CRV. I was able to replace without struggle. Did it on my own first time.

Good Fit for 2025 Honda CR-V EX-L
Very happy with purchase. Fit like a champ. Be prepared to work to change the engine air filter. It is more about Honda's design the the filter itself.

Very durable and quality produced.
These filters seem very durable and quality made. The air filter looks exactly and feels exactly the same on the factory filter and very easy to replace. The cabin filter was also very easy to replace. This cabin filter feels a lot heavier and higher quality than the factory OEM. Be sure the rigid sides of the filter will fit on the left and right side when installing. If you try to install the filter with the information written on it facing out, then the cover will not fit properly. When the filter is in place correctly, the cover will be easy to put back in place. Both filters seem very durable and quality made.
