About the HPE P10103-B21 - HPE 10GbE 2-port BASE-T QL41132HQ OCP3 Adapter

The HPE P10103-B21 delivers 10GbE connectivity through a PCIe 3.0 x8 host interface, providing enterprise-grade network performance for demanding data center environments. This dual-port adapter integrates the Marvell/QLogic FastLinQ QL41132 controller and conforms to the OCP 3.0 form factor, making it an ideal choice for network engineers and infrastructure architects seeking high-speed, standards-based connectivity in HPE ProLiant Gen10 and Gen10 Plus servers. Each port supports 10GbE speeds over RJ-45 BASE-T copper connections with Cat6A cabling recommended for full-distance performance.

Built for enterprise resilience, the HPE 10GbE 2-port BASE-T QL41132HQ OCP3 Adapter (P10103-B21) includes advanced offload capabilities—TCP/IP checksum offload, Large Send Offload (LSO), and Receive Side Scaling (RSS)—to reduce CPU overhead and maximize throughput. SR-IOV virtualization support enables efficient multi-tenant deployments, while RoCE support and Data Center Bridging features including Priority Flow Control (PFC) and Enhanced Transmission Selection (ETS) ensure low-latency, predictable performance for converged infrastructure. HPE management integration via iLO and Smart Update Manager (SUM) streamlines deployment and lifecycle operations. Broad OS support spans Windows Server, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server, and VMware vSphere environments, backed by HPE Single Point of Support as a factory-integrated component.

Deployment Scenarios

  • High-speed data center interconnect and east-west traffic optimization in virtualized environments
  • RDMA-enabled converged networks for latency-sensitive applications using RoCE
  • Multi-tenant cloud and hosting platforms leveraging SR-IOV isolation and resource efficiency
  • Storage area network (SAN) acceleration with hardware offload and priority flow control
  • Hybrid cloud gateway and network segmentation in HPE ProLiant infrastructure
