HP NC570CProduct dual-port 40 Gbit/s network card

SKU CH-MMVJ-0TA0C MPN NC570CProduct

Dual-port InfiniBand adapter delivering 40 Gbit/s over PCI-X for compatible HP servers

  • Dual-port design delivers 40 Gbit/s aggregate throughput
  • Two 4x InfiniBand links provide 10 Gbit/s per lane
  • PCI-X host interface fits HP ProLiant DL, Integrity and HP 9000 servers
  • Low-profile 2.5" height by 6.6" width suits dense chassis
  • Supported on Red Hat Enterprise Linux and SuSE LINUX Enterprise Server 32-bit and 64-bit

Dual-port InfiniBand Adapter for HP Servers

The HP NC570CProduct is a dual-port fabric adapter built on InfiniBand technology with two 4x ports running at 10 Gbps each. It targets administrators upgrading HP ProLiant DL, Integrity or HP 9000 servers that still rely on PCI-X slots for high-throughput cluster interconnects.

PCI-X Host Interface Requirement

The card connects through a PCI-X bus, so the server must provide a compatible slot; PCIe-only platforms cannot accept this adapter. Verifying the host interface is the single specification that determines whether the part will fit the target system.

Straightforward Installation in Supported Chassis

The low-profile bracket measures 2.5 inches by 6.6 inches and slides into any matching PCI-X bay on the listed servers. Driver support covers 32-bit and 64-bit editions of Red Hat Enterprise Linux and SuSE LINUX Enterprise Server. Installers should confirm the operating system version before deployment to avoid kernel-module mismatches.

Questions about this item

What does the 40 Gbit/s figure mean for actual throughput in a server?

The card provides two 4x InfiniBand ports each running at 10 Gbps, giving a combined 40 Gbit/s bandwidth for cluster or storage traffic.

How does the PCI-X host interface limit performance?

The adapter uses a PCI-X slot, so maximum throughput is capped by the bus speed of the server's PCI-X implementation.

Will the 2.5" by 6.6" card fit in a standard ProLiant DL chassis?

Yes, the low-profile dimensions match the HP ProLiant DL, Integrity and HP 9000 server form factors listed for this adapter.
