What type of interface does the HP 212999-001 network adapter use?

The HP 212999-001 is categorized as a PCI network adapter, meaning it is designed for systems that provide a PCI expansion slot. This classification indicates that installation and connectivity rely on the standard PCI bus, so it is important to verify that target systems include compatible PCI slots before deployment.

What Ethernet speeds is the HP 212999-001 designed for?

The HP 212999-001 is listed in the 10/100 Ethernet category. This indicates that it is intended for Fast Ethernet environments that operate at 10 Mbps and 100 Mbps. It is therefore suitable for networks where these speed levels meet application and user requirements, rather than higher-speed gigabit infrastructure.

What kind of product is the HP 212999-001 within HP’s portfolio?

The HP 212999-001 is a network adapter categorized specifically as a PCI network adapter for 10/100 Ethernet. This means its role is to provide wired Ethernet connectivity through a PCI expansion slot, fitting into HP’s broader range of networking components aimed at connecting systems to Ethernet-based networks.

Is the HP 212999-001 suitable for Fast Ethernet network segments?

Yes, the HP 212999-001 is positioned in the 10/100 Ethernet category, which aligns directly with Fast Ethernet network segments. It is appropriate for network environments where links operate at 100 Mbps or 10 Mbps, supporting typical Fast Ethernet use cases without targeting higher gigabit speeds.

How can procurement teams uniquely identify this HP network adapter?

Procurement teams can uniquely identify this adapter using its SKU 212999-001 and its classification as an HP PCI network adapter in the 10/100 Ethernet category. Using the specific SKU helps avoid confusion with other HP network adapters that may use different interfaces or support different Ethernet speed classes.
