Detailed Specifications
HPE 870511-001 Ethernet 10Gb 4-Port SFP+ Adapter
Overview
The HPE 870511-001 is a four-port 10 Gigabit Ethernet network adapter built for enterprise servers that demand high throughput and port density. Each of its four SFP+ ports supports full-duplex 10 Gb/s operation, providing a total aggregate bandwidth of up to 40 Gb/s through a PCI Express 3.0 ×8 host interface. The adapter is based on an Intel-class controller that supports virtualization features such as SR-IOV and VM-aware offload, allowing efficient network segmentation for virtual machines. It is designed for environments requiring low-latency, high-bandwidth connectivity × including virtualized workloads, storage traffic, and clustered compute nodes. Compact in form, it fits standard PCIe slots and supports a range of fibre or DAC cabling, making it a flexible choice for data centre and rack-server integration.
Key Features
