HPE 840137-001 Ethernet 2P 562T Adapter

HPE 840137-001 Ethernet 10Gb 2-Port 562T Network Adapter

The HPE 840137-001 Ethernet 10Gb 2-Port 562T Adapter is a replacement network interface card for compatible HPE ProLiant servers. Built around the Intel X550-AT2 controller, it provides two RJ-45 Ethernet ports capable of operating at 10Gbps per port with supported network equipment.

Part number 840137-001 identifies the HPE spare component associated with retail option 817738-B21. It is particularly useful when replacing an existing 562T adapter without changing the server’s established network architecture.

The adapter uses copper Ethernet connections rather than SFP+ optical interfaces, making it suitable for compatible 10GBASE-T networks.

HPE 840137-001 Technical Specifications

Bandwidth clarification: HPE describes a theoretical combined bidirectional bandwidth of up to 40Gbps across both ports. Each physical port operates at up to 10Gbps in each direction.

Why Choose the HPE 840137-001 Replacement Adapter?

Replacing a failed server network card often involves more than matching its Ethernet speed. The controller, PCIe interface, mounting arrangement and supported firmware can all affect whether a replacement works correctly.

By sourcing the exact 840137-001 spare, organisations can reduce uncertainty when maintaining servers originally configured with the HPE 562T adapter.

• Exact spare identification: HPE documents 840137-001 as the replacement component for the 562T adapter.
• Two independent network ports: Enables separate Ethernet connections for supported network configurations.
• 10GbE copper connectivity: Connects to compatible 10GBASE-T switches through RJ-45 interfaces.
• Gigabit Ethernet support: Allows operation with qualified 1GbE infrastructure.
• Intel X550-AT2 architecture: Uses the network controller documented for the HPE 562T.
• Enterprise deployment: Supports suitable server networking, virtualisation and consolidation projects.

Compatible HPE ProLiant Servers

HPE’s 562T QuickSpecs list selected ProLiant Gen10 platforms, including:

• HPE ProLiant DL20, DL120, DL160 and DL180 Gen10
• HPE ProLiant DL360 and DL380 Gen10
• HPE ProLiant DL385, DL560 and DL580 Gen10
• HPE ProLiant ML30, ML110 and ML350 Gen10
• Selected HPE Apollo Gen10 systems

These are documented server families rather than a guarantee of support for every configuration. Compatibility depends on the exact chassis, PCIe slot, riser, cooling arrangement, firmware and operating system.

For replacement orders, compare the existing adapter label with 840137-001 and confirm that the server supports the 562T option.

Using the 562T in a 10GbE Copper Network

The HPE 840137-001 is designed for Ethernet networks using RJ-45 copper connections. It does not require SFP+ optical transceivers.

For 10Gbps operation, connect the adapter to a compatible 10GBASE-T switch using suitable structured cabling. Cat6A is a common choice for 10GBASE-T installations requiring links of up to 100 metres, subject to correct installation and applicable cabling standards.

The adapter can also operate at 1Gbps with supported equipment, allowing businesses to maintain connectivity during a staged network upgrade.

Actual link speed depends on the switch, cabling, driver and negotiated connection.

Server Virtualisation and Network Resilience

Two Ethernet ports provide flexibility when separating server traffic or configuring alternative network connections.

For example, an administrator may allocate one port to a production network and another to a separate network segment, depending on the server’s operating system and infrastructure design.

HPE also documents Single Root I/O Virtualisation (SR-IOV) support for the 562 adapter family. In qualified environments, this can help virtual machines access network resources more efficiently.

Where network redundancy is required, supported teaming or bonding configurations may be used. Reliable failover also requires suitable switch and software settings.

840137-001 vs 817738-B21: What Is the Difference?

Both numbers refer to the HPE Ethernet 10Gb 2-Port 562T adapter family, but they serve different purchasing purposes.

• 840137-001: HPE replacement spare part number.
• 817738-B21: HPE retail option number for the 562T adapter.

The original retail option kit is documented with installation information, a warranty statement and a low-profile bracket. However, a replacement spare may be supplied as an adapter-only component.

Always confirm the included mounting bracket and accessories, particularly when ordering for a server with a low-profile expansion slot.

Installation and Replacement Considerations

Before replacing the existing adapter, record its network settings, firmware version and physical port connections.

Shut down the server and follow the applicable HPE maintenance instructions. Install the replacement in a supported PCIe expansion slot, ensuring that the bracket fits the server chassis.

Once the server is restarted, check that the Intel X550-AT2 controller is detected and that both RJ-45 ports establish the expected network links.

Review VLAN configuration, driver support, link speed and any network teaming settings before returning the server to production use.

New and Refurbished HPE 840137-001

New: New or unused HPE 840137-001 adapters may be suitable for planned replacements and maintenance stock. Confirm packaging, bracket inclusion, product condition and warranty before ordering.

Refurbished: A Refurbished adapter can offer a practical alternative for maintaining an existing ProLiant environment. Request confirmation that the card has been inspected and that both Ethernet ports have been tested.

For either condition, confirm the exact spare number, available accessories, warranty terms and UK delivery arrangements with the supplier.
