P79833-B21 Intel E610-IT4 Ethernet 1Gb 4-port BASE-T OCP3 Adapter for HPE

The HPE P79833-B21 is a high-density, power-efficient Intel E610-IT4 Ethernet 1Gb 4-port BASE-T OCP 3.0 Adapter designed specifically for high-performance enterprise servers, including HPE ProLiant Gen11 platforms.

Built on the latest Open Compute Project (OCP) 3.0 form factor, this network adapter delivers four ports of 1GbE connectivity over standard RJ-45 copper cabling, making it an ideal choice for data centers requiring reliable infrastructure management, virtualization, and legacy network integration.

Designed to fit perfectly into standard OCP 3.0 slots, this adapter saves valuable PCIe expansion slots for storage controllers or high-power GPUs. The hot-pluggable OCP design simplifies servicing and maintenance, minimizing server downtime.

Powered by Intel E610 silicon, the card supports advanced packet processing and hardware acceleration technologies (such as VxLAN, NVGRE, and Geneve offloads). This significantly reduces CPU overhead, freeing up compute power for core applications and virtual machines.

Fully validated and optimized for HPE servers, it supports comprehensive HPE server management tools, including HPE iLO (Integrated Lights-Out). This allows IT administrators to monitor temperature, link status, and perform seamless firmware updates through a unified interface.

Utilizing standard BASE-T (copper) cabling allows clients to deploy high-density networking without the need for expensive optical transceivers or specialized DAC cables. It offers a reliable, budget-friendly solution for management networks, virtualization clusters, and high-availability edge nodes.
