HPE 652497-B21 Ethernet 1Gb 2-Port 361T Network Adapter

Brand:
HPE

HPE 652497-B21 is the HPE Ethernet 1Gb 2-port 361T Adapter, built around the Intel Ethernet I350 Controller for compatible HPE ProLiant server environments. It provides two RJ-45 Gigabit Ethernet ports, 10/100/1000 Mbps operation, a four-lane PCIe 2.1 interface, and both standard-height and low-profile bracket options. The dual-port design helps add network connectivity while conserving PCIe expansion capacity.

OVERVIEW

  • HPE 652497-B21 is a dual-port 1GbE server adapter using the Intel Ethernet I350 Controller, with two RJ-45 ports and PCIe 2.1 x4 connectivity. Compatibility: HPE lists it for selected ProLiant and Apollo servers; verify the exact server model. Model comparison: 361T provides 2 × 1GbE, while 331T provides 4 × 1GbE ports. Need: confirm port count, PCIe slot and bracket requirements before ordering. 

USE CASES

  • HPE ProLiant network expansion - Adds two physical Gigabit Ethernet connections through one PCIe adapter, useful when existing server networking needs additional ports.
  • PCIe slot-constrained servers - The two-port design delivers multiple network connections from one expansion card, helping preserve available PCIe slots.
  • Server virtualization - VMDq, VMQ-related capabilities and networking offloads provide hardware features relevant to supported virtualized environments. 
  • Network redundancy - ProLiant Teaming and Network Fault Tolerance capabilities can support redundant network configurations when deployed with compatible adapters and software. 
  • Traffic separation - Two physical Ethernet ports can be assigned to different network roles where the server architecture requires separate connectivity.
  • PXE server deployment - PXE support enables network-based boot and remote operating-system deployment on supported configurations. 
  • Database and backup traffic - Support for jumbo frames up to 9,500 bytes can be useful for suitable database-transfer and backup environments. 
  • Time-sensitive applications - IEEE 1588 Precision Time Protocol and IEEE 802.1AS hardware-enabled time synchronization support applications requiring network time coordination. 
  • Low-profile server installations - The included low-profile bracket provides installation flexibility for compatible server chassis and riser configurations. 
  • Legacy 1GbE infrastructure refresh - 10/100/1000 Mbps operation allows the adapter to fit established copper Ethernet environments while retaining Gigabit capability.

KEY FEATURES

  • 2 × 1GbE ports - Buyer Benefit: Adds two Gigabit Ethernet connections through one adapter, providing practical port expansion without requiring two separate NICs.
  • 10/100/1000 Mbps operation - Buyer Benefit: Supports three Ethernet data rates, allowing the adapter to negotiate with compatible network equipment across established copper Ethernet environments. 
  • Intel Ethernet I350 Controller - Buyer Benefit: Provides a defined enterprise Ethernet controller platform for infrastructure compatibility and lifecycle planning. 
  • PCIe 2.1 x4 interface - Buyer Benefit: Uses four PCI Express lanes while remaining compatible with x4, x8 and x16 PCIe slots, subject to the server's slot and configuration requirements. 
  • RJ-45 connectivity - Buyer Benefit: Works with standard twisted-pair copper Ethernet cabling, reducing the need for specialized optical transceivers.
  • Low-profile bracket included - Buyer Benefit: Supports installations where chassis or riser height is restricted, while the standard-height bracket is supplied attached. 
  • 9,500-byte jumbo frames - Buyer Benefit: Allows larger Ethernet frames for suitable workloads, potentially improving efficiency for high-volume transfers such as database or backup traffic. 
  • ProLiant Teaming - Buyer Benefit: Supports Network Fault Tolerance, Transmit Load Balancing and Switch-Assisted Load Balancing for supported configurations. 
  • Network Fault Tolerance - Buyer Benefit: Enables redundant-adapter configurations designed to maintain network connectivity if an active adapter fails.
