Server 10Gb dual-port adapter

The HPE NC552m is a 10Gb 2-port Flex-10 Ethernet adapter built for server deployment. It connects through a PCI Express 2.0 x8 host interface and provides two 10GBase-X ports for high-speed wired networking. This plug-in card targets administrators who need reliable 10-gigabit connectivity in rack or tower servers.

PCIe 2.0 x8 half-height installation

The card uses a standard PCI Express 2.0 x8 slot and ships with a quick-install card and warranty statement. Its 10.3-inch length and 2.3-inch width fit most half-height server chassis, but depth clearance of 7.5 inches must be verified against the specific system board layout. Missing bracket screws or an obstructed slot are the most common fitment issues.

Sustained 10GBase-X throughput

Under continuous load the adapter maintains line-rate 10GBase-X traffic across both ports without throttling. The Flex-10 architecture partitions bandwidth dynamically so each port delivers consistent performance during prolonged data transfers. Thermal output remains stable in typical server airflow, avoiding the speed drops seen in shorter burst tests.
