HPE 840137-001 Ethernet 10gb 2-port 562T Network Adapter

The HPE 840137-001 is a high-performance, dual-port 10GBASE-T network adapter designed to deliver robust and reliable connectivity for HPE ProLiant Gen10 servers. Engineered for modern data centers, this adapter addresses network bottlenecks in demanding environments such as virtualized servers, cloud computing, and high-performance computing clusters. It provides a straightforward and cost-effective migration path from 1GbE to 10GbE speeds by utilizing standard RJ-45 connectors and existing CAT 6A copper cabling infrastructure. Powered by the proven Intel X550 controller, this adapter optimizes server performance by offloading network traffic processing from the CPU. It leverages advanced technologies like VXLAN and NVGRE tunnel offloads to free up valuable processor cycles, allowing the server to focus on critical application workloads. Furthermore, its support for Single Root I/O Virtualization (SR-IOV) significantly enhances virtual network performance by allowing virtual machines to bypass the hypervisor and directly access the hardware, reducing latency and increasing I/O throughput. As a stand-up PCIe 3.0 x4 card, the adapter integrates seamlessly into the chassis of compatible ProLiant DL and ML series servers. This form factor ensures broad compatibility and easy deployment within the target server platforms. For streamlined administration, the adapter is fully manageable through HPE’s suite of enterprise management utilities, such as HPE Systems Insight Manager, providing a unified and consistent management experience across the server and network infrastructure.
