Dual Port 10GbE Flex10 Adapter
The HP NC542M is a dual-port 10GbE multifunction adapter built for BladeSystem c-Class enclosures. It uses Flex10 technology to partition each physical port into multiple virtual NICs. This module suits administrators who need flexible bandwidth allocation for virtualised workloads.
BladeSystem c-Class integration
The adapter installs directly into a BladeSystem c-Class bay and connects to the onboard interconnect fabric. It removes the need for separate mezzanine cards and external cabling for 10GbE connectivity. Buyers who require more than two physical ports or a different form factor should consider other options.
