Hi David, yes it is feasible. The motherboard supports a PCIe 2.0x8 card in the x16 slot, which matches your requirement. You can install the dual SFP+ network card there. Just ensure the card is compatible with the PCIe version and that you follow the installation guidelines for proper placement. Let me know if you need further details!

It supports PCIe 2.0 x4, which is sufficient for a single 10G connection.

Sure, happy to help. I won’t use both ports simultaneously, which should avoid any issues. Appreciate the clarification!
