Product Information

Full details

The HPE Broadcom BCM57416 10Gb 2-port BASE-T Adapter is a high-performance network interface card designed for enterprise data centers and server environments requiring robust connectivity and scalability. It is an ideal choice for IT professionals managing hybrid cloud services, mobile data applications, or high-bandwidth streaming environments, providing reliable 10Gb data transfer speeds through a standard PCIe 3.0 interface. Potential users should note that this is an internal component specifically optimized for HPE server infrastructure, meaning it may not be compatible with standard consumer desktop motherboards or non-HPE hardware.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Does this card support 1Gb speeds?

Yes, the 10GBase-T ports are generally backward compatible with 1Gb Ethernet networks.

Can I use this card in a standard gaming PC?

While it uses a PCIe interface, it is specifically optimized for HPE server hardware and may face driver or compatibility issues in consumer desktop systems.

What type of cable do I need?

You should use Cat6A or Cat7 twisted-pair cabling to achieve the full 10Gb throughput performance.

What is the benefit of the firmware signing feature?

It provides a root of trust, ensuring that only verified, secure firmware can be loaded onto the card to protect against malware or tampering.

Does the card require external power?

No, it receives all necessary power directly through the PCIe interface on the server motherboard.

Troubleshooting

Server does not detect the network card

Verify the card is firmly seated in the PCIe slot and check the server BIOS/UEFI settings to ensure the PCIe slot is enabled.

Performance is slower than 10Gbps

Ensure you are using Cat6A or higher grade Ethernet cabling and that the connected switch or router port supports 10GBASE-T.

Firmware update failed

Ensure you are using the official HPE signed firmware files and that the server has a stable connection to the management console.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High data transfer speeds of up to 10Gbps
  • Enhanced security via digitally-signed firmware authentication
  • Reduces server CPU overhead with I/O offloading
  • Standard RJ-45 connectivity for versatile cabling options
  • Optimized for critical enterprise and data center workloads

Cons

  • Requires specific HPE server hardware for full compatibility
  • Not suitable for standard home or small office workstations
  • Requires professional technical knowledge for internal installation

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation

  1. Ensure the server is powered down and disconnected from any power source before opening the chassis.
  2. Locate an available PCIe 3.0 x8 or x16 slot on your HPE server motherboard.
  3. Carefully insert the card into the slot, ensuring the backplate aligns with the chassis rear opening.
  4. Secure the bracket with the necessary server chassis screws and reconnect the power.

Compatibility

This adapter is specifically designed for HPE Gen10 Plus server environments. Always verify your specific server model documentation before installation to ensure slot compatibility and firmware support.

Care

  • Keep the server environment free of dust to prevent overheating the card's internal components.
  • Ensure adequate airflow across the PCIe area of the server chassis.
  • Do not attempt to flash the firmware with non-HPE approved files, as this can void the security features and system stability.
