What Ethernet speed does the HPE 518000-001 support?

According to the product category, the HPE 518000-001 is a 10 Gigabit Ethernet dual port mezzanine server adapter. This indicates it is designed for 10GbE connectivity rather than lower-speed interfaces. It should therefore be selected for server environments standardizing on 10 Gigabit Ethernet as their primary network link speed.

How many network ports are available on the HPE 518000-001 adapter?

The model description identifies this unit as a 10GbE Dual Port Mezzanine Adapter. This means it provides two Ethernet ports on a single mezzanine card. The dual port design allows administrators to configure redundant connections or separate network segments using just one physical adapter in the server.

What form factor does the HPE 518000-001 use in servers?

The HPE 518000-001 is described as a mezzanine server adapter and is listed under the 10GbE Dual Port Mezzanine NIC category. This indicates it is designed for mezzanine expansion slots rather than traditional add-in card slots. It should therefore be used only in servers that explicitly support mezzanine network adapters.

How should procurement teams reference this HPE network adapter?

Procurement teams should reference this adapter by its SKU 518000-001 and its description as an HPE 10GbE Dual Port Mezzanine Adapter. Using the exact SKU helps avoid ordering similar but different models and ensures the correct 10 Gigabit Ethernet dual port mezzanine server adapter is included in server configurations.
