Compatibility and System Requirements
The 768080-001 HPE FlexFabric 10Gb 2-port 536FLB adapter is a network interface card (NIC) designed for use in HPE blade server enclosures. The adapter provides two 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports, allowing for high-speed network connectivity for the blade server.
Compatibility: The 768080-001 HPE FlexFabric 10Gb 2-port 536FLB adapter is compatible with HPE BladeSystem c-Class enclosures, including the HPE BL460c Gen9, HPE BL465c Gen8, HPE BL660c Gen9, HPE BL680c Gen9, and HPE BL685c Gen9. The adapter can also be used with certain HPE Synergy compute modules, including the HPE Synergy 480 Gen9 and HPE Synergy 660 Gen9.
System Requirements: In order to use the 768080-001 HPE FlexFabric 10Gb 2-port 536FLB adapter, the blade server enclosure must have an available mezzanine slot. The adapter requires a PCIe 3.0 x8 interface and supports full-height and half-height form factors. The adapter also requires the HPE Virtual Connect Flex-10 or FlexFabric modules to be installed in the blade server enclosure. Additionally, the adapter requires a compatible operating system and driver software to be installed on the blade server. HPE provides drivers for Windows Server, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server, and VMware vSphere.
Installation and Configuration
The HPE FlexFabric 10Gb 2-port 536FLB adapter is a network interface card (NIC) designed for HPE blade servers. It provides two 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports and is used to connect the blade server to the network.
To install and configure the adapter, follow these steps:
- Shut down the blade server and disconnect it from power.
- Install the adapter into a compatible mezzanine slot on the blade server. Refer to the server’s user guide for specific instructions on installing a mezzanine card.
- Reconnect the power to the blade server and power it on.
- Install the driver software for the adapter on the server. You can download the driver from HPE’s website or use the installation media that came with the adapter.
- Configure the network settings for the adapter using the server’s operating system. This may involve assigning an IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway.
- Test the adapter’s connectivity by pinging other devices on the network.
- If necessary, configure any additional features of the adapter, such as VLAN tagging or teaming (link aggregation).
- Verify that the adapter is functioning properly by monitoring its performance and troubleshooting any issues that arise
