Introduction Overview The HP Ethernet 10Gb 2-port 530T Adapter is a dual-port, 10GBase-T adapter that supports Gen8 ML/DL/SL ProLiant servers and uses the Broadcom 57810s Meru-D and BCM84833 PHY chipsets. For more information about the HP Ethernet 10Gb 2-port 530T Adapter, see the HP website (http://www.hp.com/go/proliantnics). UTP CAT6/CAT6a cable The HP Ethernet 10Gb 2-port 530T adapter can use existing UTP CAT6 (or better) cable to deliver Gigabit Ethernet over copper, according to the IEEE 802.
Item LED 2 Activity Description power and the cable connection is good. Off = Indicates no network activity on the link. Green = Indicates network activity on the link. The adapter is sending or receiving network data at up to 10 Gb/s.
Installing an adapter Installation overview This section describes installation precautions, how to install the adapter, and how to connect the network cable. WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment, consult the safety information and user documentation provided with the server before attempting the installation.
Installing an adapter in a server For additional information on how to safely install a PCI Express card in the server, see the HP ProLiant server documentation. CAUTION: If the server is not PCI Hot Plug compliant, power it down and disconnect the power cord from the power outlet before removing the server access panel. Failure to do so may damage the adapter or server. 1. Power down the server. 2. Remove the power cord and server access panel.
1. Using a correctly sized slotted screwdriver, carefully remove the two board lock screws located at the top and bottom of the connector. 2. Remove the standard profile bracket and place the low profile bracket over the connector. Be careful not to damage the connector or bind the low profile bracket to the connector. Connecting the network cable To secure the cable, plug the cable connector into the RJ-45 port. Ensure that the tab on the plug clicks into position indicating that it is properly seated.
Specifications UTP cable specifications The HP Ethernet 10Gb 2-port 530T adapter can use existing UTP CAT6 (or better) cable to deliver Gigabit Ethernet over copper, according to the IEEE 802.3an specifications. For new installations, CAT6a cable is recommended. Maximum distances for CAT6 cable are 30 meters (98 feet). Maximum distances for CAT6a are 100 meters (328 feet).
