HPE 854196-001 C-Class 16-Port 10GbE Pass-Thru Module
Overview
The HPE 854196-001 Ethernet Pass-Thru Module is engineered to provide high-speed, direct network connectivity for HPE C-Class BladeSystem environments. As an essential expansion module, it streamlines the network infrastructure within data centers by offering a direct, unswitched path from blade servers to external network devices, effectively reducing cable complexity and enhancing operational efficiency. This module is ideal for organizations seeking to optimize network performance and simplify management in dense server deployments. This module features 16 SFP/SFP+ uplink ports, supporting versatile data transfer rates of both 1 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) and 10 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) per port. This flexibility allows for seamless integration with existing network architectures while providing a clear upgrade path for future bandwidth demands. The implementation of the 10 Gigabit Ethernet protocol ensures robust and reliable high-speed data transmission, while integrated Quality of Service (QoS) features enable administrators to prioritize critical network traffic, minimizing latency and ensuring smooth operation even under heavy loads. Designed for straightforward deployment within HPE BLC3000 enclosures, the 854196-001 module facilitates direct, high-performance links for blade servers. Management is simplified through a dedicated mini-USB port for local configuration and monitoring. Furthermore, the module includes eight licenses for Insight Control Environment for BladeSystem, providing comprehensive management capabilities that aid in system integration and ongoing administration, reducing the complexity often associated with blade server networking.
