Overview
The HP NC510C PCIe 10 Gb Server Adapter is a high-performance, multifunction Ethernet adapter that
delivers up to 10 Gbps over 4 pair twin-axial cabling. The network connection is made through a single-
port CX4 connector. The LED indicator shows the activity and link status. See LED indicators (on page
6
)
for details.
The NC510C 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 NC510C 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.
