How many network ports does the HPE NC553m 617727-001 provide?

The HPE NC553m 617727-001 provides two network ports, as indicated by its designation as a 10Gb 2-port FlexFabric Adapter. These are dual 10Gb Ethernet ports delivered through a single mezzanine adapter, supporting scenarios where multiple 10Gb connections per blade server are required.

What network speed does the HPE NC553m adapter support?

The HPE NC553m adapter supports 10Gb Ethernet, as described by its model name HPE NC553m 10Gb 2-port FlexFabric Adapter. Each of its two ports is a 10Gb Ethernet interface, enabling high-speed connectivity suitable for blade server deployments that require 10Gb links.

For which platform is the HPE NC553m 617727-001 intended?

The HPE NC553m 617727-001 is intended for use as a dual-port 10Gb FlexFabric adapter for BladeSystem c-Class. It is classified specifically under network adapters as a 10Gb Ethernet mezzanine adapter designed to integrate into BladeSystem c-Class infrastructures.

What form factor does the HPE NC553m 10Gb 2-port adapter use?

The HPE NC553m 10Gb 2-port FlexFabric Adapter is a 10Gb Ethernet mezzanine adapter. This means it is designed for mezzanine slots typically found in blade servers, rather than standard rack server PCIe slots, aligning with BladeSystem c-Class hardware layouts.
