In order to enable our Ampere-Server to host the Netint Quadra VPU card, I had to buy it a new OCP3 Network Card, to free up the only working PCIe slot.

I bought the cheapest cheapest model I could find, which was a refurbished Lenovo one:

There was also an Intel X710 option, which would have been 10€ cheaper, but a mlx5 driven NIC is usually much nicer and friendlier for virtualization than those old Intel ones. So the 10€ extra seemed a good deal.

The total cost of the order thus was 208€ for the card, plus 11.07€ shipping, for a total of 219.07€.
