Compatibility
The Cisco documents cited in the sources list UCSC-PCIE-E14102 as an option for Cisco UCS C460 M4. That listing is the only compatibility claim recorded here: the part is not assumed to fit other generations or other product lines of the same brand. Firmware, software, slot, backplane and controller requirements are set out in the vendor documentation for the specific product, and the vendor's compatibility tool should be checked before ordering a second-hand unit.
Buying used
Check the product ID on the label, the port count and speed, and that the bracket suits the chassis. Optical ports need compatible transceivers or cables, which are usually sold separately. Ask the seller for photos of the part number label, confirm the return terms, and test the part in a running system before accepting it. Prices vary with condition, so compare several listings for the exact product ID.
