HPE P51304-001 Broadcom BCM5719 BASE-T Adapter

HPE P51304-001 is a PCIe service spare for the Broadcom BCM5719 1Gb 4-port BASE-T Adapter. The adapter belongs to the Broadcom BCM5719 four-port 1Gb BASE-T networking family. This page concentrates on maintaining a standard pcie network card rather than treating related option, spare and model numbers as unrelated hardware.

A replacement for the PCIe adapter

The 1Gb Ethernet specification describes the network connection class, but actual throughput depends on the server slot, switch capability, link configuration and workload. The RJ-45 BASE-T, standard PCIe card form factor is an important part of the product identity.

Why form factor matters

Choosing a network adapter begins with the server generation and available slot. BASE-T ports use twisted-pair Ethernet cabling and can integrate with existing 1Gb switches.

Maintaining copper Ethernet

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 BCM5719 variants

The Broadcom BCM5719 family provides four 1Gb Ethernet BASE-T ports, but HPE offers different physical versions. P51178-B21 and spare P51304-001 belong to the standard PCIe card family, while P51181-B21 and spare P51305-001 belong to the OCP3 family. The chipset and Ethernet speed do not make the two card formats interchangeable.

Four RJ-45 ports can help separate management, application, backup and other traffic where the server and network design call for dedicated interfaces. VLANs, teaming and redundancy depend on the operating system, switches and network configuration.

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.

Frequently asked questions about HPE P51304-001

What is HPE P51304-001 used for?

It is a PCIe service spare for the Broadcom BCM5719 1Gb 4-port BASE-T Adapter. It provides the specified Ethernet ports in the relevant supported server form factor.

How can I check compatibility for P51304-001?

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 P51304-001?

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 P51304-001 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 P51304-001 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.
