Detailed Specifications
HPE P51304-001 4-Port 1GbE BASE-T Network Adapter
Overview
The HPE P51304-001 is a quad-port 1 Gigabit Ethernet (1 Gb/s) BASE-T adapter based on the Broadcom BCM5719 chipset. It plugs into a PCI Express bus and provides four RJ-45 ports supporting 10/100/1000 Mb/s speeds, enabling reliable wired connectivity for server environments with moderate network needs. It is suitable for enterprise rack servers such as HPE ProLiant systems needing multiple onboard network links for management, virtualisation, or general-purpose traffic. The adapter supports both IPv4 and IPv6, PXE boot, receive side scaling and offloads for efficient processing. Its low-profile plug-in design and modest power consumption make it a practical choice in dense compute installations where a full multi-port 1 Gb/s adapter is preferred over higher-speed options.
Key Features
4 × 10/100/1000BASE-T RJ-45 ports supporting full-duplex 1 Gb/s.
PCI Express 2.0 x4 interface for broad server compatibility.
Broadcom BCM5719 controller with features like flow control, RSS, TSO.
Low-profile card form-factor with dual-bracket support for full-height or low-profile systems.
