What type of network adapter is the HP 384043-B21 module?

The HP 384043-B21 is the NC370i Dual-Port Multifunction Network Adapter Module. It is categorized as a Gigabit Ethernet PCI-X mezzanine network adapter and is described as a dual-port 1 GbE multifunction network module for specific ProLiant blade servers. This classification defines both its networking role and its mezzanine form factor.

How many network ports does the HP NC370i 384043-B21 provide?

The HP NC370i 384043-B21 provides a dual-port configuration, offering two network ports on a single module. It is explicitly described as a dual-port 1 GbE multifunction network module, meaning both ports support 1 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity for compatible ProLiant blade servers.

Which HP ProLiant servers are supported by the 384043-B21 adapter?

The 384043-B21 NC370i Dual-Port Multifunction Network Adapter Module is intended for ProLiant BL25p, BL35p, and BL45p servers. It is described as a dual-port 1 GbE multifunction network module for these specific ProLiant blade models, indicating that it aligns with their mezzanine networking architecture.

What interface category does the NC370i 384043-B21 belong to?

The NC370i 384043-B21 is listed in the category of Gigabit Ethernet PCI-X mezzanine network adapters. This indicates that it uses a PCI-X mezzanine interface to deliver 1 GbE connectivity within compatible ProLiant blade servers, rather than a standard PCI or PCI Express plug-in card format.

Is the HP 384043-B21 suitable for Gigabit Ethernet networks?

Yes, the HP 384043-B21 is suitable for Gigabit Ethernet environments. It is described as a dual-port 1 GbE multifunction network module within the Gigabit Ethernet PCI-X mezzanine adapter category, indicating that both ports are designed for 1 Gigabit Ethernet operation in compatible ProLiant blade servers.

Product overview

The HP NC370i Dual-Port Multifunction Network Adapter Module 384043-B21 is a dual-port 1 GbE network module designed for HP ProLiant blade servers. Classified as a Gigabit Ethernet PCI-X mezzanine network adapter, it integrates two 1 GbE ports in a multifunction design to support a range of networking needs. This adapter module is intended specifically for ProLiant BL25p, BL35p, and BL45p servers, aligning with blade infrastructure requirements. As a mezzanine form factor within the Gigabit Ethernet PCI-X category, it provides a standardized interface for compatible ProLiant platforms. The dual-port 1 GbE capability allows administrators to configure separate network paths or logical functions over the available connections. This focused design supports deployment where Gigabit Ethernet connectivity and modular network configuration within ProLiant blade chassis are required. The NC370i module helps simplify adapter standardization in environments built around BL25p, BL35p, and BL45p systems.
