HPE 530SFP+ Network Adapter (463446) – Dual Port 10GbE

What It Is

The HPE 530SFP+ is a dual-port 10Gb Ethernet network adapter designed for enterprise server environments. Built on the Broadcom controller, this PCIe 2.0 x8 card provides high-throughput connectivity for rack and tower servers requiring 10Gb SFP+ optical or direct-attach cabling. The adapter is a low-profile form factor solution, compatible with a range of HPE ProLiant Gen7, Gen8, and Gen9 server models.

Operating Conditions

This adapter is intended for installation in enterprise data center racks and server rooms where 10Gb Ethernet uplinks are required for virtualized workloads, storage networking, or high-bandwidth applications. The low-profile design allows deployment in dense 1U/2U chassis, while the 9 W TDP ensures minimal thermal impact within standard server cooling envelopes. It is suited for environments running HPE ProLiant Gen7 through Gen9 platforms with available PCIe 2.0 x8 slots.
