Network adapter HP Enterprise Ethernet Adapter RP000130058 1 Gbps

HP Enterprise Ethernet Adapter RP000130058 1 Gbps is a single-port wired network interface designed to provide stable Gigabit Ethernet connectivity for servers and workstations. The adapter supports standard Ethernet protocols and integrates with HP Enterprise systems to enable reliable data transfer, remote management, and network infrastructure compatibility. It is intended for environments where a dedicated, low-latency wired connection is required for core services and applications.

Advantages

The adapter delivers a full 1 Gbps Ethernet link with consistent throughput and low jitter suitable for typical server workloads. It follows standard Ethernet specifications, ensuring interoperability with common switches and routers. Its compact interface design allows straightforward installation into compatible server PCIe slots and minimal configuration overhead when used with supported HP system drivers. The product offers passive reliability characteristics with no moving parts, reducing maintenance needs in rack-mounted and industrial deployments.

Suitable for

• Rack servers and tower servers requiring a single dedicated Gigabit Ethernet port
• Workstations needing stable wired network access for large file transfers
• Small to medium enterprise networks and branch office connectivity
• Data center infrastructure where predictable wired throughput is necessary
• Integration into existing HP Enterprise server hardware and management environments

Key specifications

• Interface speed: 1 Gbps (Gigabit Ethernet)
• Form factor: single-port network adapter suitable for standard server expansion slots
• Connector type: standard RJ-45 Ethernet
• Supported protocols: IEEE 802.3 Ethernet standards (including 1000BASE-T operation)
• Typical power profile: low-power passive adapter behavior with no mechanical components

How to use

Install the adapter into an appropriate expansion slot in the server or workstation following the host system's service manual. Connect a Cat5e or higher-rated Ethernet cable to the adapter's RJ-45 port and to the network switch or router. Ensure the operating system has the corresponding HP-supported network driver installed and configured; check the server's driver repository or management interface for the correct software. After driver installation, verify link status and network settings such as IP configuration, duplex, and speed in the system network management utility.

Usage recommendations

Use shielded or unshielded twisted-pair cabling rated for Gigabit operation (Cat5e or better) and connect to compliant switches or routers to achieve full 1 Gbps performance. For critical deployments, enable monitoring through the server management tools and keep network drivers updated to maintain compatibility and security.
