Description
10GB Dual Port Adapter
A 10GB dual port adapter is a type of network interface card (NIC) that provides two ports, each capable of transmitting and receiving data at speeds of up to 10 Gigabits per second (Gbps). This means that the adapter can support a total bandwidth of up to 20 Gbps, allowing for high-speed data transfer and low latency network connectivity.
Dual port adapters are useful in server and data center environments where high network bandwidth and redundancy are important. With two ports, the adapter can be configured for load balancing, failover, or link aggregation, which can help to improve network performance, availability, and reliability.
10GB dual port adapters typically use the PCI Express interface to connect to the server motherboard and may require additional power supply to meet their power requirements. They may also support various networking protocols such as iSCSI, FCoE, and TCP/IP and feature advanced networking features such as jumbo frames, VLAN tagging, and Quality of Service (QoS).
System Requirements
The 717708-001 HPE Ethernet 10GB Dual Port PCI Express 2.1 x8 561T Network Adapter has certain system requirements that need to be met for proper operation. These requirements include:
- A server with an available PCI Express 2.1 x8 slot for the adapter. The adapter is designed to work with PCIe Gen2 and Gen3 interfaces.
- Adequate power supply for the server to support the additional power requirements of the adapter.
- The server’s BIOS must be configured to support the adapter. The BIOS should be set to boot from the onboard network controller first and the HPE Ethernet 10Gb 2-port 561T adapter second.
- Sufficient memory and processing power for the operating system and applications running on the server.
- The appropriate operating system and drivers for the adapter installed on the server. The driver must match the firmware version on the adapter.
It is important to ensure that the server and other components meet these requirements before installing the adapter to avoid any potential issues or compatibility problems. Additionally, it is recommended to follow the manufacturer’s instructions and guidelines carefully when installing and setting up the adapter to ensure proper operation and optimal performance.
Operating Systems
The 717708-001 HPE Ethernet 10GB Dual Port PCI Express 2.1 x8 561T Network Adapter is compatible with a wide range of operating systems, including:
- Microsoft Windows Server 2008 and later versions, including Server 2012, Server 2016, and Server 2019.
- Linux distributions such as Red Hat Enterprise Linux, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server, and Ubuntu.
- VMware ESXi versions 5.1 and later.
- Citrix XenServer versions 6.2 and later.
The adapter is designed to work with both 32-bit and 64-bit operating systems and supports a variety of network protocols and features, including TCP/IP, UDP/IP, iSCSI, NFS, and FCoE.
However, it is important to note that not all operating systems may be fully supported by the adapter. Some operating systems may require additional drivers or software to be installed for full compatibility, and some features or functions may not be available on all operating systems.
Before purchasing and installing the 717708-001 HPE Ethernet 10GB Dual Port PCI Express 2.1 x8 561T Network Adapter, it is recommended to check the compatibility with the specific operating system and server model being used. This can be done by reviewing the adapter’s technical specifications or by consulting the HPE website or customer support team.c
