HP 842475-001 PCA 4E/RI x8 Network Card

Product Description

The HP 842475-001 is a high-performance network interface card (NIC) featuring four Ethernet ports and a PCI-Express x8 interface. This design allows for significant data throughput, making it suitable for demanding server applications that require robust and fast network connectivity. As a PCA (Printed Circuit Assembly), it represents a complete network interface solution designed to integrate seamlessly into compatible HP server platforms. This network card is engineered to support enterprise-level networking requirements, providing multiple ports for increased bandwidth, redundancy, or connection to different network segments. The x8 PCIe interface ensures that the card is not a bottleneck, capable of handling the aggregate traffic from its four Ethernet ports efficiently. While the specific Ethernet speeds (e.g., 1GbE, 10GbE) are not explicitly detailed in the title, such cards typically offer high-speed connectivity essential for modern data centers. The HP 842475-001 serves as a critical component for servers involved in networking, virtualization, storage, or any application that relies heavily on network performance. Its multi-port design offers flexibility in network configuration, enabling features like link aggregation for increased throughput and fault tolerance, or dedicated connections for specific services. This makes it a versatile solution for enhancing a server's network capabilities.
