FAQ
What type of network connections does this card support?
This network interface card supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections using SFP+ transceivers with optical fiber cabling. It is compatible with both multi-mode and single-mode fiber optic cables, providing flexibility for different distance requirements and infrastructure setups. The dual SFP+ ports allow two separate network connections simultaneously.
What PCIe slot is required for this network card?
The card requires a PCI Express 2.0 x8 slot for proper installation and full performance. It is backward compatible with PCIe 2.0 x16 slots and may work in PCIe 3.0 slots at reduced speeds, but optimal performance is achieved in a native PCIe 2.0 x8 interface. The physical card size fits standard server expansion slots.
Does this card support PXE boot functionality?
Yes, this network interface card includes PXE (Preboot Execution Environment) boot capability, allowing servers to boot from network resources rather than local storage. This feature is particularly valuable for automated server deployment, diskless workstations, and centralized management scenarios where operating systems or applications are delivered over the network.
What comes included in the package?
The package contains the HP 10Gigabit Ethernet Card itself along with both half-height and full-height mounting brackets. These bracket options ensure compatibility with different server chassis configurations, from standard rack-mounted servers to compact or specialized server form factors that may require the lower-profile half-height bracket.
What type of devices is this network card designed for?
This network interface card is specifically designed for server deployment, as indicated by the 'Device Supported: Server' specification. It is optimized for server environments that require high-bandwidth, reliable network connectivity, including data center servers, application servers, database servers, and virtualization hosts that handle substantial network traffic.
What warranty coverage does this product include?
The product comes with a lifetime limited warranty, providing long-term coverage for manufacturing defects and workmanship issues. This warranty reflects confidence in the card's durability and reliability for continuous operation in server environments where network connectivity is critical to business operations.
