Detailed Specifications
HPE P18669-001 SmartNIC 10/25 Gb 2-Port SFP28 Adapter
Overview
The HPE P18669-001 is a dual-port SFP28 network adapter designed for modern data-centre servers requiring high-speed uplinks and future-proof infrastructure. Each port supports 10 Gb/s or 25 Gb/s link speeds, allowing deployment on existing 10 Gb/s networks and seamless migration to 25 Gb/s. The adapter installs in a PCIe ×8 (or compatible) slot, conserving other expansion slots and enabling high-density I/O in rack and blade servers. In virtualised environments, this SmartNIC offers full line-rate traffic per port and supports offloads such as SR-IOV and overlay tunnelling, reducing CPU load and boosting I/O efficiency. It is well suited for compute nodes, storage-traffic servers and converged infrastructure where dual high-speed uplinks are needed in a compact, server-certified form-factor.
Key Features
Two SFP28 ports supporting both 10 Gb/s and 25 Gb/s speeds
SmartNIC architecture with advanced offloads (SR-IOV, tunnelling)
PCIe ×8 (or similar) host interface conserving expansion slots
Future-proof uplink design with 10 → 25 Gb upgrade path
