Technician notes

Warnings, cautions, and notes

WARNING: Only authorized technicians trained by Hewlett Packard Enterprise should attempt to

repair this equipment. All troubleshooting and repair procedures are detailed to allow only subassembly/module-level repair. Because of the complexity of the individual boards and subassemblies, no one should attempt to make repairs at the component level or to make modifications to any printed wiring board. Improper repairs can create a safety hazard.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock, personal injury, and damage to the equipment:

• Do not attempt to service any parts of the equipment other than those specified in the following procedure. Any other activities may require that you shut down the server and remove the power cord.

• Installation and maintenance of this product must be performed by individuals who are knowledgeable about the procedures, precautions and hazards associated with the product.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to the equipment:

• Do not disable the power cord grounding plug. The grounding plug is an important safety feature.

• Plug the power cord into a grounded (earthed) electrical outlet that is easily accessible at all times.

• Unplug the power cord from the power supply to disconnect power to the equipment.

• Do not route the power cord where it can be walked on or pinched by items placed against it. Pay particular attention to the plug, electrical outlet, and the point where the cord extends from the server.

This symbol indicates the presence of a hot surface or hot component. If this surface is

CAUTION: To properly ventilate the system, you must provide at least 7.6 cm (3.0 in) of clearance at the front and back of the server.

CAUTION: The server is designed to be electrically grounded (earthed). To ensure proper operation, plug the AC power cord into a properly grounded AC outlet only.

contacted, the potential for injury exists.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury from a hot component, allow the surface to cool before touching.

NOTE: Any indications of component replacement or printed wiring board modifications might void any warranty.

Introduction

Overview

The HPE Ethernet 10Gb 2-port 561T Adapter is a dual-port, 10GBASE-T stand-up NIC card for ML/DL/SL ProLiant servers that uses the Intel X540 chipset. The adapter is available both built-to-order and configure-to-order for Gen8 platforms. The Ethernet 10Gb 2-port 561T Adapter includes these advanced server features:

• SR-IOV support for Windows, Linux, and VMware

The server must have ROM support for SR-IOV and the operating system must support SR-IOV to use the feature.

• Sea of sensors for temperature monitoring of the device for optimized server power consumption

• Active Health Systems support for Gen8 devices using network-provided information

• Firmware upgrades without being taken offline (reboot to apply changes)

• Copper-based 1/10Gb compatibility for existing RJ-45 infrastructures

For more information about the Ethernet 10Gb 2-port 561T Adapter, see the Hewlett Packard Enterprise website (

http://www.hpe.com/info/proliantnics).

UTP Cat 6 and Cat 6A cable use

The Ethernet 10Gb 2-port 561T Adapter can use existing UTP Cat 6 (or better) cable. Hewlett Packard Enterprise recommends Cat 6A cable for new installations. For troubleshooting and other information about cabling, see "UTP cable specifications."

LEDs

The Ethernet 10Gb 2-port 561T Adapter has two ports with LEDs for Link (L) and Activity (A) for each port. A standard-height bracket is shown in the following illustration with ports and LEDs.
