How to choose an ML110 Gen10 network adapter

Rule 1

Match the cabling to the switch

HPE notes that DAC cables or fiber transceivers and cables are bought separately.

HPE: “Direct Attach Cable (DAC) for copper environments or fiber transceivers and cables for fiber-optic environments must be purchased separately.” (page 25)

Rule 2

Plan the server memory

HPE notes that at least 2 GB of server memory is needed per adapter.

HPE: “A minimum of two Gigabytes (2 GB) of server memory is required per each adapter.” (page 25)

Rule 3

Mind the slot rules

Slots 2 and 5 run below their designed speed, so HPE recommends them least.

HPE: “Although the Speed of slot is designed for 32Gb/s, the actual running speed will be lower than it was designed. Hence Slot 2 and Slot 5 will be least recommended for usage.” (page 6)
