HPE ProLiant ML110 G7 Networking Adapters
Genuine HPE Ethernet server adapters for the HPE ProLiant ML110 G7, new and refurbished. The tower already carries two Gigabit ports on the system board, from a pair of NC112i 1-port adapters, so a card here is about port count and network separation rather than raw speed — every adapter HPE documents for this server is Gigabit copper.
ML110 G7 Networking Specifications
- Embedded networking: two HPE NC112i 1-port Ethernet Server Adapters, giving two RJ-45 connectors at 10/100/1000
- Management port: the iLO 3 dedicated LAN port is optional — HPE lists a Dedicated iLO Management Port Option and notes that without that card the port is used as a shared NIC port
- Expansion: four PCI Express Gen2 slots — slot 1 x16, slots 2 and 3 x8 connectors wired with four electrical lanes, slot 4 x1, all full height and non-hot-plug
- Single and dual port cards: the NC112T PCI Express Gigabit Server Adapter and the NC360T PCI-E Dual Port Gigabit Server Adapter
- Quad port cards: the NC365T 4-port Ethernet Server Adapter and the NC375T PCI Express Quad Port Gigabit Server Adapter
- Multifunction cards: the NC373T PCI-E Multifunction Gigabit Server Adapter and the NC382T PCI Express Dual Port Multifunction Gigabit Server Adapter, with PXE and Wake-on-LAN in the platform's compliance list
Check what the board already has before buying a card. The ML110 G7 ships with two Gigabit ports from a pair of embedded NC112i adapters, and every adapter HPE documents for this server is Gigabit copper — there is no 10GbE option here. A card earns one of the four PCIe Gen2 slots when you need more ports or a physically separate network.
How many network ports does this tower actually need?
| What you need | Card |
|---|---|
| One more port, on a separate network | NC112T single port |
| A third and fourth port | NC360T dual port |
| Four more ports from one slot | NC365T 4-port or NC375T quad port |
| Multifunction Gigabit | NC373T or NC382T |
| 10 Gigabit Ethernet | Not documented for this server — HPE lists Gigabit copper adapters only |
Two onboard ports already cover a straightforward branch-office server, so most cards bought for this tower are about separation: a backup network, a second subnet, or a management path that should not share a cable with production traffic. Slot choice matters more here than on a rack server with six of them — only slot 1 is a full sixteen-lane connector, slots 2 and 3 accept an x8 card but wire four lanes to it, and slot 4 is a single lane.
Choosing the Right ML110 G7 Network Adapter
- Count the free slots before the ports. There are four, and a Smart Array SAS card usually claims one of them on any machine running SAS drives.
- Watch the lane count, not the connector. Slots 2 and 3 take an x8 card but carry four electrical lanes; slot 4 is x1.
- Check the card length. Slots 1, 2 and 3 are full height and full length; slot 4 is full height but half length.
- Nothing here is 10 Gigabit. HPE documents Gigabit copper server adapters for this platform and no 10GbE option, so a 10 Gigabit requirement is a different server rather than a different card.

ML110 G7 Networking Adapters FAQ
How many network ports does an ML110 G7 have as standard?
Two RJ-45 ports at 10/100/1000, provided by two HPE NC112i 1-port Ethernet Server Adapters on the system board.
Does the ML110 G7 have a dedicated iLO management port?
Only as an option. HPE lists a Dedicated iLO Management Port Option for this server and notes that without that card the port is used as a shared NIC port.
Does the ML110 G7 support 10 Gigabit Ethernet?
HPE's networking list for this server is Gigabit copper server adapters, and no 10GbE adapter is documented for it.
Which slot should a network card go in?
Any of the four PCIe Gen2 slots will take one, but only slot 1 is wired with sixteen lanes. Slots 2 and 3 are x8 connectors carrying four electrical lanes, and slot 4 is x1 and half length.
Can an ML110 G7 boot from the network?
PXE support is in HPE's industry standard compliance list for this server, along with Wake-on-LAN.
Do I need an add-in adapter at all?
Not if two ports are enough. The tower has two Gigabit ports on board already, so a card earns its slot when you need more ports or a physically separate network.
