HP 712676-001 Moonshot 6x Ports 10GBase-X Uplink Module

Product Description

The HP 712676-001 is a specialized uplink module tailored for the HP Moonshot server platform. This module is engineered to provide essential high-speed network connectivity, allowing the Moonshot system to interface with the external network infrastructure. It features six ports that support the 10GBase-X standard, which typically utilizes SFP+ (Small Form-factor Pluggable Plus) transceivers, enabling flexible and robust 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections. This module is crucial for environments that require significant network bandwidth for their server infrastructure, such as data centers, cloud computing environments, and high-performance computing clusters. By providing multiple 10GbE uplinks, the 712676-001 module ensures that the dense compute resources within the Moonshot chassis can communicate efficiently with the rest of the network, preventing bottlenecks and supporting demanding workloads. The SFP+ interface allows administrators to choose the appropriate transceiver type (e.g., SR for short-reach, LR for long-reach) based on their specific cabling and distance requirements. Designed as a module that slots directly into the Moonshot chassis, the 712676-001 offers a streamlined integration process. Its primary function is to aggregate network traffic from the server cartridges and provide high-speed uplinks to the network core or distribution layers. This enhances the overall network performance and scalability of the Moonshot system, making it a powerful solution for consolidated computing needs.
