What is the form factor of the HP 404983-001 NC373M adapter?

The HP 404983-001 NC373M is classified as a PCI Express mezzanine network adapter. It is intended for mezzanine slots in compatible server platforms rather than standard PCIe slots in rack servers. This mezzanine design is typical for blade architectures, where networking is integrated through dedicated mezzanine interfaces inside the chassis.

How many network ports does the HP NC373M 404983-001 provide?

The NC373M 404983-001 is described as a dual port 1 GbE mezzanine card for BladeSystem c-Class. This means the adapter provides two Gigabit Ethernet connections from a single mezzanine module. Each port can be used to connect to enclosure interconnect modules or upstream networks, depending on the BladeSystem configuration.

For which platform is the HP NC373M 404983-001 intended?

The HP NC373M 404983-001 is identified as a dual port 1 GbE mezzanine card for BladeSystem c-Class. It is therefore intended for use in HP BladeSystem c-Class environments that support PCI Express mezzanine network adapters. Buyers should match this adapter with compatible BladeSystem c-Class server blades and enclosures.

What type of product category does the HP 404983-001 belong to?

The 404983-001 NC373M is categorized under network adapters, specifically as a PCI Express mezzanine network adapter. Within that category it is further described as a dual port 1 GbE mezzanine card for BladeSystem c-Class. This positions it as a server network adapter module for blade infrastructures rather than a desktop or standalone NIC.

What is the full model identification for procurement purposes?

For procurement, the adapter can be identified by its brand, model, and SKU. It is the HP NC373M Dual Port Gigabit Server Adapter with SKU 404983-001. Using this complete identification helps ensure that purchasing teams order the exact dual port 1 GbE mezzanine card intended for BladeSystem c-Class deployments.
