What type of network adapter is the HP NC512m 440939-001?

The HP NC512m 440939-001 is a network adapter categorized as a 10 Gigabit Ethernet mezzanine adapter. It is specifically listed as a dual-port 10GbE 10GBase-KX4 PCI Express x8 solution for use within HP c-Class BladeSystem environments. This makes it a blade-focused adapter rather than a standard rack server NIC.

How many Ethernet ports does the HP NC512m provide?

The HP NC512m is defined as a dual-port 10 Gigabit Ethernet adapter. This means it offers two Ethernet ports operating at 10GbE, implemented in a mezzanine form factor for c-Class BladeSystem. The dual-port configuration supports use cases such as link redundancy, traffic separation, or increased aggregate bandwidth on a single blade server.

What interface does the HP NC512m use to connect to the blade server?

The HP NC512m is described as a 10GBase-KX4 PCI Express x8 adapter for c-Class BladeSystem. It connects to the blade server through a PCI Express x8 mezzanine slot, following the electrical and mechanical requirements of that interface. This PCIe x8 connection is standard for many blade mezzanine options within HP BladeSystem.

For which server platform is the HP NC512m designed?

The adapter is designated for use with HP c-Class BladeSystem servers. Its categorization as a 10 Gigabit Ethernet mezzanine adapter and PCI Express x8 solution explicitly references compatibility with the c-Class BladeSystem platform. It is intended to provide 10GbE connectivity within that specific blade server environment.

What 10GbE physical standard does the HP NC512m support?

The HP NC512m is identified as a dual-port 10GbE 10GBase-KX4 adapter. This indicates that it uses the 10GBase-KX4 physical layer standard for 10 Gigabit Ethernet. Within the HP c-Class BladeSystem, this standard defines how the adapter communicates over the internal blade backplane and related interconnects.
