Network adapter HP Enterprise Ethernet Adapter 10Gb 560FLR-SFP Dual Port

HP Enterprise Ethernet Adapter 10Gb 560FLR-SFP Dual Port is a server network adapter engineered for 10 Gigabit Ethernet environments. The card provides two SFP-compatible ports for fiber or DAC uplinks and is designed to fit HP Enterprise server platforms. It targets low-latency, high-throughput scenarios such as virtualization, storage networking and data centre east–west traffic, delivering consistent performance for demanding network workloads.

Advantages

The adapter delivers dual 10Gb SFP-capable interfaces that support high-bandwidth links and flexible connectivity options. Built for compatibility with HP server form factors, it offers low latency and hardware offloads that reduce CPU load during network-intensive operations. Redundant port design enables link aggregation and failover configurations to improve resiliency in clustered or virtualised environments.

Suitable for

• Server virtualization and hypervisor host networking
• Block and file storage networks, including SAN connectivity
• High-performance compute clusters and database servers
• Aggregation and uplink ports in data centre topologies
• Environments requiring low-latency, high-throughput links

Key specifications

• Interface: two 10 Gigabit SFP-compatible ports for fiber or direct attach cables
• Data rate: 10 Gbps per port
• Form factor: half-height, low-profile server adapter compatible with HP Enterprise servers
• Offload features: hardware acceleration for common networking tasks to reduce host CPU utilisation
• Latency: engineered for low-latency packet processing suitable for storage and virtualization
• Connectivity modes: supports link aggregation and failover configurations

How to use

Install the adapter into a compatible HP Enterprise server slot following the server manufacturer’s installation procedure. Attach SFP transceivers or appropriate direct-attach cables to the SFP ports according to your networking design. Configure link settings, VLANs and offload options in the server operating system or hypervisor network settings. Verify firmware and driver compatibility with the server OS and update drivers or firmware as recommended by HP Enterprise to ensure stable operation.

Usage recommendations

Use certified SFP modules or compatible DACs and make sure drivers and firmware are kept current. For critical workloads, deploy link aggregation and redundant paths, and monitor port statistics to detect congestion or errors.
