HPE 817738-B21 - 10GbE 2-Port 562T Adapter
Overview :
The HPE 817738-B21 is a dual-port 10 GbE network adapter designed for IT engineers deploying high-throughput servers, enabling two simultaneous 10 Gb/s RJ-45 Ethernet links. It integrates an Intel X550 family controller on a PCIe 3.0 x4 plug-in card, supporting 10GBASE-T over Cat6A up to 100 m. The adapter is suitable for enterprise data centres, virtualization hosts, and high-performance compute clusters, fitting standard rack-mounted servers and edge nodes. It supports advanced offload features such as SR-IOV, tunnelling (VXLAN/NVGRE), and DMA bypass to reduce CPU overhead and accelerate I/O traffic. It integrates directly with HPE ProLiant and Apollo Gen10 platforms and is compatible with standard network management tools for configuration and monitoring.
Key Features :
Dual RJ-45 10 Gb ports on single adapter card
PCI Express 3.0 x4 host interface for full line rate
Intel X550 family controller for offload and virtualization
Supports 10GBASE-T over Cat6A cabling up to 100 m
Single-Root I/O Virtualization (SR-IOV) enabled for VM segmentation
