The HPE Nimble Storage Embedded 10GBASE-T 2-port Adapter (Q8B83A) is a factory-integrated network card that delivers two 10GBASE-T RJ-45 ports for high-speed connectivity in HPE Nimble Storage arrays.
The Q8B83A adapter is compatible with all Gen5 and Gen6 HPE Nimble Storage AF and HF arrays and may require a supported firmware version to enable embedded 10GBASE-T ports.
Key features include two integrated 10GBASE-T RJ-45 ports, auto-negotiation, low-latency architecture, and seamless integration with HPE InfoSight for unified management.
By providing direct 10 GbE connectivity over copper, the adapter reduces latency, increases throughput up to 20 Gb/s aggregate, and offloads storage traffic from shared switches.
