HPE Broadcom BCM5719 Ethernet 1Gb 4-Port BASE-T OCP3 sisäinen

The HPE Broadcom BCM5719 Ethernet 1Gb 4-port BASE-T OCP3 Internal is a 4-port wired Ethernet adapter with a PCI Express host interface designed for installation in HPE Gen10 Plus servers. It provides up to 1 Gbit/s per port and is intended for enterprise network environments that require reliable, low-latency connectivity within a server chassis. The adapter integrates with the HPE ecosystem of servers, transceivers, cables and switches to maintain consistent network performance across data center components.

Advantages

This HPE Broadcom BCM5719 adapter delivers predictable 1Gb performance across four BASE-T ports and is engineered to reduce CPU load through support for I/O offloads such as RDMA and tunneling. Firmware authentication and a root-of-trust architecture help prevent rogue firmware installation, enhancing platform security. The card’s compatibility with HPE Gen10 Plus servers simplifies integration and helps keep network and data flows consistent in hybrid cloud, mobile data and streaming scenarios.

Suitable for

• Rack and blade servers in enterprise data centers
• General-purpose virtualized workloads and management networks
• Hybrid cloud and on-premises connectivity for low-latency applications
• Server management, storage networks and backup traffic

How to use

Install the adapter into a compatible OCP3/PCIe slot in an HPE Gen10 Plus server following the server manufacturer’s installation instructions and safety guidelines. Connect each BASE-T port to the network using appropriate Cat5e/Cat6 cables and configure network settings in the server operating system or hypervisor. Enable supported I/O offloads (for example RDMA or tunneling) in drivers and host software where applicable to reduce CPU utilization.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use certified HPE cables and switches, keep the adapter firmware updated with HPE-signed releases, and follow HPE server compatibility lists. Use Cat5e or better cabling for 1Gb connections and monitor link health and driver updates as part of regular maintenance.
