Introduction Overview The HP NC552SFP 10Gb 2-port Ethernet Server Adapter is a dual port 10GbE adapter for ProLiant DL, ML, and SL platforms. The HP NC552SFP 10GbE 2P Adapter uses the BladeEngines 3 (BE3) Emulex chipset and provides NIC-only functionality. The adapter is designed for virtualization and consolidation by providing a high speed, low latency connection to networking infrastructure.
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 See the HP ProLiant server documentation for additional information on how to safely install a PCI Express card in the server. 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.
