HP VG-X550-T2 Dual-Port 10GbE Adapter

The HP VG-X550-T2 is a dual-port 10GbE PCIe 3.0 x4 network card built around the Intel ELX550AT2 controller. It provides two copper RJ45 ports that negotiate at 100MbE, 1GbE, 2.5GbE, 5GbE or 10GbE. The card targets servers and workstations that need high-throughput wired links without fibre cabling.

Installation notes and common issues

The half-height card fits a standard PCIe x4, x8 or x16 slot and includes a low-profile bracket for slim chassis. Driver support covers Windows, Windows Server, Linux distributions such as RHEL, SUSE and Ubuntu, FreeBSD and VMware ESXi. If 2.5GbE or 5GbE speeds do not negotiate automatically, set the speed manually in the driver or contact technical support.

Pre-purchase checklist

Verify that your motherboard or riser offers a PCIe 3.0 x4 electrical connection (x8 or x16 physical slots work). Confirm the operating system in use appears in the supported list. Ensure Cat6a or better cabling is available for 10GbE runs and that the switch ports support the desired speeds. The card measures 8.8in long, so check chassis clearance.

Questions about this item

How do I verify the card is operating at 10GbE after installation?

Check the link speed in your OS network settings or switch management console; it should show 10Gbps on each of the two RJ45 ports when connected to a 10GbE switch with Cat6a or better cabling.

What is included in the box and what must I source separately?

The package contains the dual-port X550-T2 network card and a low-profile bracket; you must supply Cat6a or Cat7 patch cables and an available PCIe 3.0 x4 slot (also fits x8 or x16).

Which version should I choose among the X550-T2, X550-T1, X710-T2L and X710-T4?

Pick the X550-T2 for two 10GbE RJ45 ports on a PCIe 3.0 x4 interface; choose X550-T1 if you need only one port, X710-T2L for two ports on x8, or X710-T4 for four ports on x8.
