HPE P10115-B21 Broadcom BCM57414 Ethernet Adapter

HPE P10115-B21 is a commercial option for the Broadcom BCM57414 10/25Gb OCP3 Adapter. The adapter belongs to the Broadcom BCM57414 10/25Gb SFP28 networking family. This page concentrates on configuring a dual-port optical network rather than treating related option, spare and model numbers as unrelated hardware.

Two 10/25Gb ports in an OCP3 slot

The 10/25Gb Ethernet specification describes the network connection class, but actual throughput depends on the server slot, switch capability, link configuration and workload. The SFP28, OCP 3.0, PCIe 3.0 x8 form factor is an important part of the product identity.

Optical uplinks and switch planning

Choosing a network adapter begins with the server generation and available slot. SFP28 ports use supported optical modules or direct-attach cabling and should not be described as RJ-45 copper ports.

Why OCP3 differs from a PCIe card

For service continuity, document the installed adapter, its physical location, port mapping and firmware environment. A part with the same chipset may still have a different PCIe or OCP3 format.

Technical identification

Understanding the BCM57414 family

HPE identifies P10115-B21 as a Broadcom BCM57414 Ethernet 10/25Gb two-port SFP28 OCP3 adapter. HPE PartSurfer identifies P14484-001 as its service component. OCP 3.0 is a distinct form factor from a conventional PCIe stand-up card, and SFP28 connectivity is distinct from copper BASE-T. These differences matter when selecting a replacement for an existing server.

Network performance also depends on compatible switches, modules or DACs, driver support and operating-system configuration. Two 25Gb-capable ports do not mean every deployment will run at 25Gb, and aggregation or redundancy requires suitable network design.

New and Refurbished availability

New stock can suit planned upgrades, standardised builds and maintenance inventories. Refurbished stock can be a practical choice for extending the life of compatible HPE equipment. The actual unit should be identified by its HPE reference, condition, included carrier or bracket and offered warranty. For refurbished network adapters, port condition, firmware context and included hardware are relevant to a successful installation.

Buying and deployment considerations

Euroland IT Store supplies enterprise hardware and spares for buyers in the UK and internationally. Availability, condition, warranty and delivery arrangements depend on the actual listing and quotation. A useful enquiry includes the server model, current part number and the intended repair or upgrade so the product can be matched to the required configuration.

Frequently asked questions about HPE P10115-B21

What is HPE P10115-B21 used for?

It is a commercial option for the Broadcom BCM57414 10/25Gb OCP3 Adapter. It provides the specified Ethernet ports in the relevant supported server form factor.

How can I check compatibility for P10115-B21?

Use the HPE QuickSpecs and service documentation for the exact server generation. Match the PCIe or OCP3 slot, port type, supported firmware and server networking options.

What should I know before ordering a replacement P10115-B21?

Record the number on the installed part and compare it with the documented HPE option or service spare. The supplied carrier or bracket and actual condition are also important.

Can P10115-B21 be purchased in New or Refurbished condition?

Availability varies by stock. New units are useful for planned builds, while Refurbished units can support existing compatible systems. The condition and warranty should be assessed for the specific unit offered.

How does P10115-B21 differ from related HPE part numbers?

Related numbers may identify the commercial option and service spare, or a physically different PCIe versus OCP3 adapter. Matching the exact form factor is important.
