HPE AT118A
Integrity NC552SFP 10 GbE Dual‑Port Gigabit Ethernet Adapter– PCIe 2.0 ×8 SFP+
The NC552SFP adapter (HPE part number AT118A) is a dual‑port 10 Gigabit Ethernet network card designed for high-performance enterprise servers such as the Integrity rx2800 i2 and Superdome2 platforms. Installed via PCI Express 2.0 ×8, this adapter delivers full-duplex 20 Gb/s per port (40 Gb/s aggregate). Ideal for virtualization, storage networking, and data center applications, it supports both optical modules (SR/LR) and DAC cabling, enabling flexible deployment across Fiber Channel, iSCSI, or high-speed LAN environments.
Features
Equipped with the Emulex BE3 chipset, this plug-in adapter supports two SFP+ ports that can connect via direct-attach copper or optical transceivers such as 10GBASE-SR. Engineered for server-class environments, it integrates tightly with HPE Integrity server architecture, offering high reliability and compatibility
Advanced Options
With full-height and low-profile bracket support, it fits a range of chassis form factors. The adapter offers enterprise-class offloads including TCP/UDP checksum, large send offload, jumbo frames, interrupt moderation, PXE boot, and NIC teaming for robust network performance. It provides virtualization acceleration via HP-UX support and streamlined management through SNMP agents and HPE Systems Insight Manager
