HPE P13640-001 BCM57416 Network Adapter

HPE P13640-001 Broadcom BCM57416 10Gb 2-Port BASE-T OCP3 Network Adapter

The HPE P13640-001 Broadcom BCM57416 Network Adapter is a replacement spare designed to restore dual-port 10Gb Ethernet connectivity in compatible HPE servers. It features two RJ-45 copper Ethernet ports and uses the OCP 3.0 adapter format, making it suitable for maintaining existing enterprise server infrastructure.

Part number P13640-001 is the replacement spare associated with the HPE P10097-B21 Broadcom BCM57416 Ethernet 10Gb 2-Port BASE-T OCP3 Adapter. This distinction is particularly useful for IT teams sourcing an exact replacement rather than purchasing a complete retail option kit.

Whether replacing a failed adapter or maintaining spare hardware for a server fleet, P13640-001 provides a part-number-specific solution for qualified HPE systems.

HPE P13640-001 Technical Specifications

Note: Each port supports up to 10Gbps Ethernet connectivity. Actual performance depends on the server, network switch, cabling and operating system configuration.

Key Features of HPE P13640-001

• Exact replacement spare: Identified by HPE as the replacement adapter for option P10097-B21.
• Dual-port 10Gb Ethernet: Provides two high-speed copper network connections.
• RJ-45 interfaces: Connects to compatible BASE-T Ethernet switches without requiring SFP+ optical transceivers.
• OCP 3.0 format: Designed for supported servers with an OCP 3.0 networking slot.
• PCIe 3.0 x8: Provides the host connection used by the adapter.
• Network boot support: Includes documented PXE and UEFI iSCSI boot capabilities in qualified configurations.

Compatible HPE Servers

The Broadcom BCM57416 OCP3 adapter family is documented for selected HPE ProLiant Gen10 Plus and Gen11 server configurations.

However, compatibility is determined by the exact server model and its supported networking options. Not every ProLiant server includes an OCP 3.0 slot, and not every OCP-equipped system supports the same adapter.

Before purchasing HPE P13640-001, confirm:

• The server model and generation.
• The existing network adapter’s spare or option number.
• Availability of a supported OCP 3.0 slot.
• The server’s firmware and operating system support.
• Required network speeds and copper cabling.

For an existing replacement, matching P13640-001 against the original adapter and checking the server’s HPE documentation helps reduce the risk of ordering an incompatible component.

Dual-Port RJ-45 Ethernet Connectivity

The HPE P13640-001 uses two RJ-45 BASE-T interfaces, allowing connections to suitable copper Ethernet networks.

Each port supports 1GbE and 10GbE operation, subject to the connected network equipment and configuration. This can be useful for businesses operating existing Gigabit Ethernet infrastructure while maintaining or introducing 10GbE connectivity.

For 10GBASE-T installations, Cat6A cabling is generally recommended for channel lengths of up to 100 metres under the relevant standards. Suitable Cat6 installations may support shorter 10GbE connections.

Unlike SFP+ network adapters, the P13640-001 does not require optical transceivers for its RJ-45 interfaces.

P13640-001 vs P10097-B21: What Is the Difference?

Both part numbers refer to the same Broadcom BCM57416 dual-port 10Gb BASE-T OCP3 adapter family, but they serve different purchasing purposes.

• HPE P13640-001: Replacement spare part number for the adapter.
• HPE P10097-B21: Retail option part number for the Broadcom BCM57416 10Gb 2-Port BASE-T OCP3 Adapter.

The replacement spare may be supplied differently from the retail option kit. Packaging, documentation and accessories should be confirmed before ordering.

For maintenance projects where the original adapter is identified as P13640-001, sourcing the matching spare can simplify component identification.

Enterprise Networking Applications

The HPE P13640-001 is relevant for maintaining Ethernet connectivity in compatible servers used for business applications, virtualisation and network-based storage workloads.

Its two ports can be configured for separate network connections or supported teaming arrangements, depending on the operating system and switch infrastructure.

The adapter also supports documented network boot functions, including PXE and UEFI iSCSI remote boot, where supported by the complete platform.

Network redundancy, failover and storage boot functionality require appropriate configuration and should be tested before production use.

Installation and Replacement Guidance

Before replacing an existing Broadcom BCM57416 adapter, record the server’s network settings and confirm the correct replacement part number.

Follow the HPE maintenance procedure for the relevant server when removing or installing an OCP 3.0 adapter. A conventional stand-up PCIe card cannot be substituted directly into the same slot.

After installation, check that the Broadcom controller is detected correctly and that the required drivers and firmware are installed.

Verify both Ethernet ports, negotiated link speeds and any configured network boot or virtualisation functions before returning the server to production.

New and Refurbished HPE P13640-001

New HPE P13640-001

A New or unused HPE P13640-001 adapter may be suitable for planned hardware replacement or maintaining spare inventory. Buyers should confirm packaging, part-number identification, warranty and availability before ordering.

Refurbished HPE P13640-001

A Refurbished P13640-001 adapter may offer a cost-effective alternative for businesses maintaining existing HPE servers. Before purchase, request confirmation of physical inspection, adapter recognition and functional testing of both Ethernet ports.

For both conditions, confirm the supplied hardware, warranty coverage and UK delivery arrangements with Euroland IT Store.
