OpenWRT 10Gbps - HP t620 Plus & Dell QLogic 57810S Dual SFP+ Adapter

In this video, I am going to test out the HP t620 Plus Thin Client's performance with the Broadcom BCM57810s SFP+ 10GbE adapter. Let's find out if the HP T620P can handle 10Gbps throughput.
Eventhough the HP T620P has a Gen 2 PCIe x4 connector (in x16 form factor), I only get 4.9Gbps throughput with the CPU at 70% idle. During the test, the power consumption went up to 25W using the official HP power adapter with 220V AC - 50Hz.
