Frequently Asked Questions

What is OCP 3.0 and how does it benefit server deployments?

OCP 3.0 (Open Compute Project 3.0) is a standardized mezzanine network adapter form factor that installs in a dedicated OCP slot on the server motherboard. This provides dual-port 10GbE (or higher) network connectivity without consuming a standard PCIe expansion slot — freeing PCIe slots for HBAs, GPUs, or other expansion cards while maintaining clean cable routing through the OCP slot's rear-panel port access.

Is P10095-001 compatible with OCP 2.0 slots?

No — OCP 3.0 adapters are not backward compatible with OCP 2.0 slots. OCP 3.0 uses a different connector and slot specification than OCP 2.0. Verify that your ProLiant server has an OCP 3.0 slot before ordering P10095-001. Gen10 Plus and Gen11 ProLiant servers include OCP 3.0 slots; older Gen10 and below may use OCP 2.0 or mezzanine slots.

Does the BCM57416 support SR-IOV for virtualized environments?

Yes — the Broadcom BCM57416 supports SR-IOV (Single Root I/O Virtualization), enabling direct hardware-level virtual function assignment to individual VMs. This allows VMware ESXi, Hyper-V, and KVM hypervisors to assign dedicated 10GbE virtual functions to VMs, bypassing the hypervisor network stack for lower latency and higher throughput in virtualized 10GbE environments.

The HPE P10095-001 BCM57416 dual-port 10GbE OCP 3.0 network adapter delivers flexible PCIe slot-preserving 10GbE connectivity for HPE ProLiant Gen10 Plus and Gen11. Order today — in stock at a competitive price.
