What network speeds are supported by the NC7770 PCI-X Gigabit Server Adapter?

The adapter is listed as a single-port 10/100/1000 TX UTP server adapter. This indicates that its Ethernet port can operate at 10 Mb, 100 Mb, or 1000 Mb, depending on the connected network equipment and configuration. These multi-speed capabilities support deployment in a wide range of Ethernet environments.

How many Ethernet ports are available on the HP NC7770 284848-001?

According to its category description, this product is a single-port 10/100/1000 TX UTP server adapter. The single-port designation means the card offers one Ethernet interface for connecting a server to the network, which can simplify cabling and port allocation in some deployment scenarios.

What type of cabling does the 10/100/1000 TX UTP port require?

The adapter is described as a 10/100/1000 TX UTP server adapter, indicating use of unshielded twisted pair copper cabling. This aligns with standard copper Ethernet cabling used in many server rooms and data centers, enabling straightforward integration into existing copper-based infrastructure without specialized media.

Is the HP NC7770 suitable for use as a server network adapter?

Yes, the model name explicitly identifies it as the NC7770 PCI-X Gigabit Server Adapter and places it in the Network Adapter category. It is further described as a single-port 10/100/1000 TX UTP server adapter, indicating that it is intended for server network connectivity over Gigabit Ethernet using a PCI-X interface.

Product overview

The HP NC7770 PCI-X Gigabit Server Adapter 284848-001 is a network adapter designed for server environments that require a PCI-X interface and Gigabit Ethernet connectivity. Classified as a PCI-X Gigabit Ethernet NIC, it supports 10, 100, and 1000 TX UTP operation as a single-port server adapter. This makes it suitable for network deployments where a single copper port with flexible speed options is needed. As a Gigabit server adapter, it aligns with common data center and enterprise networking standards focused on Ethernet performance and reliability. The PCI-X design targets legacy and transitional server platforms that still make use of PCI-X expansion slots. With its single-port 10/100/1000 TX UTP configuration, the HP NC7770 PCI-X Gigabit Server Adapter provides a straightforward option for IT teams standardizing on copper-based Ethernet for server connectivity tasks.
