Intel X710 Windows Server 2016 Drivers
Where can I find drivers for the Intel X710 integrated NIC? Intel has them released on their website but usually we get them directly from Dell. The 2012R2 drivers do not work with Win 2016.

Hello
I don't show that we have released a driver for 2016. If we have not released a driver then the driver included with the operating system should function.
Thanks

The X710 is not the integrated NIC ... it is a 10GB fiber network card. I can't find any documentation one way or another, but as Daniel said, typically the drivers would be built into or provided by Windows if Dell does not have it. If it is not showing after install, run your Windows Updates to see if it picks it up.

The R730xd has the X710 4x10GB bNDC integrated NIC. Our current deployment is 2012R2 and we've been using the Dell drivers. Just starting to test 2016 in the lab and noticed there were no Dell drivers yet for this platform.
We also have Mellanox 2x40GB NICs on these servers which do have Dell drivers for 2016.

Thanks. We will use the inbox drivers for now. Hopefully Dell releases a version of the drivers that are available from Intel directly, soon.
