Overview
The HP NC510F PCIe 10 Gigabit Server Adapter is a high-performance, multifunction Ethernet adapter
that delivers up to 10 Gbps over fiber cabling. The network connection is made through a 10GBASE-SR
XFP module. The LED indicator shows the activity and link status. See LED indicators (on page 6) for
details.
The NC510F adapter, which ships with a standard-height chassis bracket and also includes a low-profile
chassis bracket, is a supported option for selected HP ProLiant servers and offers support for both
standard and low-profile slots.
In addition to standard HP network server adapter features, the NC510F is capable of supporting
teaming for load balancing and failover, Receive Side Scaling, TCP/IP Offload Engine (TOE),
Accelerated iSCSI, and Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA) that can significantly improve server
throughput while reducing host CPU utilization. The teaming, TOE, accelerated iSCSI, and RDMA
multifunction features are planned for future near-term software releases.
LED indicators
The NC510F adapter has a single fiber LC port and two LED indicators for Link and Act. (activity).
Standard-height and low-profile brackets are shown below with the fiber LC port and LED indicators.
The NC510F 10 Gigabit Server Adapter LED indicators operate as described in the following table.
