705086-001 HPE 10GBPS 2 Ports PCIE 3.0 Network Adapter | Refurbished

A PCIe 3.0 network adapter is a network interface card that connects to a computer’s PCIe 3.0 slot to provide high-speed network connectivity. PCIe (Peripheral Component Interconnect Express) is a high-speed serial bus interface used to connect various hardware components in a computer, including network adapters.

The PCIe 3.0 standard is the third generation of the PCIe interface, which provides faster data transfer rates compared to the previous PCIe 2.0 standard. PCIe 3.0 provides a maximum data transfer rate of 8 GT/s (gigatransfers per second), which is twice as fast as the maximum transfer rate of PCIe 2.0.

A PCIe 3.0 network adapter provides several benefits over traditional network adapters, including higher bandwidth and faster data transfer rates. This makes it an ideal solution for servers and workstations that require high-speed network connectivity for applications such as data center workloads, high-performance computing, and virtualization.

The HPE 10Gbps 2-Ports PCIe 3.0 Network Adapter (705086-001) is an example of a PCIe 3.0 network adapter that provides two 10Gbps Ethernet ports for high-speed network connectivity. It uses SFP+ connectors to connect to fiber-optic or copper-based Ethernet networks and supports various operating systems, including Windows, Linux, and VMware.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

When using the HPE 10Gbps 2-Ports PCIe 3.0 Network Adapter (705086-001), users may encounter common issues that affect the adapter’s functionality. Troubleshooting common issues can help identify the source of the problem and provide a solution to restore normal operation. Here are some common issues and troubleshooting tips:

• Adapter not recognized by the server/workstation: If the adapter is not recognized by the server/workstation, check that the adapter is properly installed in the PCIe slot and that the operating system recognizes the adapter. It may be necessary to update the driver and firmware or reinstall the adapter.
• Slow network performance: If the network performance is slower than expected, check that the network cables and connectors are properly connected and functioning correctly. Verify that the adapter is running at the correct speed and duplex settings. It may also be necessary to adjust the adapter settings or update the driver and firmware.
• Inability to connect to the network: If the adapter is unable to connect to the network, check that the network cables and connectors are properly connected and functioning correctly. Verify that the network configuration settings are correct, such as the IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway. It may also be necessary to check for any firewall or security settings that may be blocking the connection.
• Adapter overheating: If the adapter is overheating, check that the server/workstation has proper ventilation and cooling. Ensure that the adapter is not installed in a location that blocks airflow or near other hot components. It may also be necessary to check the fan speed and adjust the settings or update the firmware.
• Adapter hardware failure: If the adapter is not functioning at all or has hardware failure, it may be necessary to replace the adapter with a new one. Contact HPE support for further assistance and warranty information.
