Compatibility and System Requirements
Compatibility refers to the ability of the 406771-B21 HP Dual-Ports 1GBPS 10Base-T Gigabit PCI Express x4 Network Adapter to work with different operating systems, hardware, and software.
The operating systems that are compatible with the adapter include Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows Server 2012, Windows Server 2012 R2, Windows Server 2016, Windows Server 2019, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 8.1, Windows 10, Linux, Novell Netware, VMware ESX. This means that the adapter can be installed and used on systems running these operating systems.
The adapter must be installed in a PCI Express x4 or higher slot on the host system. This means that the host system must have a PCI Express x4 or higher slot available for the adapter to be installed in.
A supported version of the HP NIC driver must be installed on the host system for the adapter to function properly. This software allows the adapter to communicate with the host system and the network.
The adapter is compatible with HP ProLiant and HP BladeSystem servers and supports jumbo frames up to 9.5 KB. This means that the adapter can be used in these servers and can handle large packets of data up to 9.5 KB.
It's important to note that even if a system meets the compatibility and system requirements, it's always recommended to check the compatibility with the vendor website and consult with vendor support before buying or installing any hardware.
Performance of Network Adapter
The performance of the 406771-B21 HP Dual-Ports 1GBPS 10Base-T Gigabit PCI Express x4 Network Adapter will depend on several factors such as the network environment, the host system's capabilities, and the specific use case. However, generally speaking, the adapter is capable of providing high-speed network connectivity with a transfer rate of up to 1 Gbps. This allows for fast data transfer and improved network performance.
The adapter supports full-duplex operation, which means that it can simultaneously transmit and receive data at full speed. This improves the overall network performance by eliminating the need for the adapter to take turns transmitting and receiving data.
The adapter also supports jumbo frames up to 9.5 KB. Jumbo frames are larger than the standard Ethernet frame size and can improve network performance by reducing the number of frames that need to be transmitted.
It's important to note that the actual performance will depend on a variety of factors such as network congestion, distance, and quality of the cabling, and other factors, so the performance may vary.
Easy to Manage
The 406771-B21 HP Dual-Ports 1GBPS 10Base-T Gigabit PCI Express x4 Network Adapter is designed to be easy to manage, which means it has features and tools that make it simple to monitor and control the adapter's settings and performance. Some of the management and monitoring features of the adapter include:
- Support for HP Network Configuration Utility (NCU): This utility allows you to configure, monitor, and update the adapter's settings.
- Support for HP Systems Insight Manager (SIM): This software allows you to monitor and manage the adapter as well as other hardware and software components in the host system.
- Support for SNMP: The adapter supports the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), which allows you to monitor and manage the adapter using standard SNMP management software.
- Support for LLDP: Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) allows for the adapter to advertise its identity and capabilities to other LLDP-enabled devices on the network, making it easier to identify and manage the adapter.
- Support for advanced features such as VLAN tagging, Quality of Service (QoS), and teaming.
By providing these features and tools, the adapter makes it easy for administrators to monitor and control the adapter's settings, identify and troubleshoot issues, and ensure that the adapter is performing optimally.

About Refurbished Products
Network Adapters
A network adapter also called a network interface card is a plug-in card that serves to allow computers to both transmit and receive data on a local network. It is a component of a computer's internal hardware that facilitates communication over a network.
In a more current context, network adapters will refer to an Ethernet adapter where the Ethernet circuitry is built into motherboards of the latest desktops and laptop computers. Other times, a network adapter may also refer to a wireless (Wi-Fi) adapter.
In all instances, the adapter allows a computer to connect with another computer, a server, or other networking devices through a LAN connection. The use of a network adapter is not limited to wired connections as it is used for wireless networks. The adapters for wired networks come with an RJ-45 port that may use either the twisted or untwisted pair cables for network connectivity. For the wireless adapters, the network connection is facilitated through a built-in antenna or an externally connected antenna. Both the wired and wireless network adapters support the popular LAN protocols including TCP/IP. We have 1-port, 2-port, 4-port, 6-port, 8-port, and 16-port options that support speeds of 10, 25, 40, or even 100 Gigabits.
The plug-in network interface cards (NICs) are normally used in high-performance machines especially if a faster Ethernet standard is relatively new and available but is yet to become mainstream. In fact, the major difference between network adapters lies in the network protocol it supports.
We have the different types of network adapters necessary for building computer-to-computer networks that don't have a switch or hub. All the network adapters are fairly inexpensive and readily adaptable to different applications within a network. Some of the common types available are:
Network adapters common types
- Desktop Network Interface Card: This adapter is usually connected to a PCI or PCIe slot, whichever is available on the motherboard of your desktop computer. You will need to open your computer's case and it, therefore, presents the most difficult installation method. The PCIe slot is generally found in new computers.
- PC Card or PCMCIA Card: PCMCIA is the abbreviation for Personal Computer Memory Card International Association. The name has undergone changes over time to be referred to as a PC Card or ExpressCard. For dimensions, the PC card is almost similar in size to a credit card but is significantly thicker. The PC card is connected to a PC or PCMCIA card slot in your desktop computer or laptop computer.
- USB adapter: This network adapter is typically a small device, similar to a thumb drive, with a USB interface. Installation is easy and straightforward since it is plugged into the USB port of your desktop or laptop computer or other network devices that have a USB port.
- Wireless game adapters also referred to as media adapters, are connected to older game consoles and home entertainment devices so as to act as a bridge to Wi-Fi capability. They help expand functionality on these entertainment devices through connections to the internet.
