HPE P26264-B21

Overview

The HPE P26264-B21 is a four-port SFP28 Ethernet adapter designed to deliver high-speed network connectivity at 10 or 25 gigabits per second. It fits into a PCIe Gen4 x16 slot, ensuring ample bandwidth to prevent bottlenecks between your server’s processor and network. This adapter is built around the Broadcom BCM57504 controller, known for handling heavy data traffic with low latency, making it well suited for data centers and virtualized environments.

Key features

• Four SFP28 ports that support both 10 Gb and 25 Gb Ethernet speeds, providing flexibility for different network setups.
• PCIe Gen4 x16 interface that maintains full throughput without limiting data flow between the server and network.
• Broadcom BCM57504 controller ensures consistent performance and low latency under heavy workloads.
• Support for SR-IOV technology, which reduces CPU overhead by mapping virtual functions directly to guest operating systems, enhancing virtualization efficiency.
• RoCE v2 support enables low-latency RDMA traffic, improving performance for storage and high-performance computing applications.
• Compatibility with overlay network protocols such as VXLAN, NVGRE, and GENEVE, facilitating scalable and secure software-defined networking.
• Works seamlessly with both UEFI and legacy BIOS PXE boot methods, supporting network boot environments.
• Energy-efficient design with a typical power consumption of 15.2 watts, helping maintain power budgets in dense server racks.

We act solely as a reseller. Any product warranty is provided and administered by the manufacturer, not by our store. That means eligibility, coverage, and outcomes are determined by the manufacturer’s policy for each brand and model. Before purchasing, we recommend reviewing the warranty terms on the manufacturer’s website or in the product documentation to confirm what is covered and for how long.

If you need warranty service, please file the claim directly with the manufacturer. They may require proof of purchase, the product serial number, original packaging, photos, or basic troubleshooting. Some brands ask you to register the product or obtain a case number before shipping it for repair or replacement. We don’t submit or approve claims, but we can point you to the correct support links and contact details.

Keep your invoice and packaging in a safe place, and report any functional issues to the manufacturer as soon as they appear. If you’re unsure whether a problem is covered, the manufacturer’s support team can confirm next steps and timelines. While we cannot intervene in decisions or outcomes, we’re happy to provide purchase documentation or guidance so you can move through the warranty process smoothly.
