Detailed Specifications
HPE P08438-001 Ethernet 10Gb 2-Port 537FLR-SFP+ Adapter
Overview
The HPE P08438-001 is a server-class network adapter providing two SFP+ ports capable of 10 Gb/s link speeds each, designed for full-line-rate uplinks in enterprise compute configurations. Installed in a FlexibleLOM/FLR slot or an equivalent mezzanine interface on HPE certified servers, it enables high-bandwidth connectivity while conserving standard PCIe slots. The adapter supports fibre or direct-attach SFP+ cabling and is suitable for virtualised hosts, storage-traffic nodes and converged infrastructure scenarios where dual 10 Gb links are required. Its low-profile design and proven compatibility with HPE server platforms make it a practical choice for high-throughput server uplinks or top-of-rack aggregation in data-centre environments.
Key Features
Two 10 Gb/s SFP+ ports for high-bandwidth server uplinks
Mezzanine/FLR form-factor preserving standard expansion slots
Fibre or DAC compatibility via SFP+ ports
Dual direct uplink support for virtualization or storage traffic
