The HPE 562T 10Gb 2-port Adapter (part number 817738-B21) delivers robust hardware offload capabilities including TCP/IP, UDP, iSCSI, LSO, LRO, RSS, and VLAN tagging and stripping—enabling network engineers to reduce CPU overhead and maximize throughput in mission-critical data center environments. Built on the Intel X550 controller, this dual-port 10 Gigabit Ethernet adapter operates at line rate across three speeds: 100 Mbps, 1 Gbps, and 10 Gbps with auto-negotiation, supporting both legacy and modern network infrastructures simultaneously.
The HPE 817738-B21 features a PCIe 3.0 x4 low-profile form factor designed for density-conscious deployments across HPE ProLiant Gen9 and Gen10 rack and tower servers. Both ports use RJ-45 connectors and support CAT6A cabling at full 10Gb speeds up to 55 meters, with backward compatibility to CAT6 (55 m at 10Gb) and CAT5e (100 m at 1Gb). Advanced capabilities include jumbo frame support up to 9,600 bytes, IEEE 802.3x flow control, IEEE 802.1Q VLAN support, and Wake on LAN functionality. HPE's management integration through iLO and OneView simplifies provisioning and lifecycle management. Certified across VMware ESXi, Microsoft Windows Server, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server, the 562T is ideal for storage architects and IT procurement teams standardizing on HPE infrastructure.
