Frequently Asked Questions
What are the primary interface specifications for the HPE Intel X520 10GbE Dual Port Adapter? +
The HPE Intel X520 Dual Port Adapter utilizes a PCIe 2.0 x8 interface, providing high-bandwidth connectivity for data-intensive server environments. This card features two SFP+ ports designed for 10GbE fiber optic connections, enabling high-speed networking and low-latency data throughput for enterprise-grade infrastructure and virtualization deployments.
Which server generations are compatible with the C3N52AA network adapter? +
This adapter is engineered for compatibility with a wide range of HPE ProLiant Gen8 and compatible server platforms. It is specifically designed to integrate seamlessly into standard PCIe slots, making it an ideal choice for legacy hardware upgrades or maintaining standardized network connectivity across existing data center environments.
Can the Intel X520 adapter support I/O virtualization features? +
Yes, this card includes robust support for Intel Virtualization Technology for Connectivity (VT-c). These hardware-based features, including VMDq and SR-IOV, significantly reduce I/O overhead in virtualized server environments, allowing for improved performance, lower CPU utilization, and more efficient traffic management across multiple virtual machines.
Does the C3N52AA support data center bridging or FCoE offloads? +
The Intel X520 series is designed to handle advanced converged networking workloads. It supports Data Center Bridging (DCB) and Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) offloading, which enables IT administrators to consolidate storage and networking traffic over a single 10GbE fiber link, simplifying cabling and improving overall infrastructure efficiency.
What type of transceiver modules should I use with these SFP+ ports? +
The dual SFP+ ports on this adapter are designed for use with industry-standard 10GbE SFP+ optical transceivers or SFP+ Direct Attach Copper (DAC) cables. It is recommended to use HPE-qualified modules to ensure optimal link stability, signal integrity, and full interoperability with your existing fiber optic cable plant and network switches.
Is the HPE Intel X520 suitable for high-performance computing (HPC) clusters? +
This adapter is an excellent choice for HPC environments due to its low-latency design and reliable hardware offloading capabilities. By minimizing packet processing latency and offloading complex network tasks from the host CPU, it ensures that high-speed data transmission remains stable and predictable during intensive computational workloads.
How does this NIC handle network traffic load balancing? +
The adapter features advanced load balancing and link aggregation capabilities, which allow you to distribute network traffic effectively across both ports. By using teaming or bonding protocols at the operating system level, you can achieve increased redundancy and higher aggregate throughput, ensuring high availability for mission-critical server applications.
What power requirements should be considered when installing this dual-port adapter? +
The Intel X520 is designed to operate within the standard power specifications of the PCIe slot it occupies. While it provides high-performance 10GbE connectivity, it is engineered for efficient power consumption, making it suitable for dense rack-mount server configurations where thermal management and energy efficiency are critical operational priorities.
