• Connectivity technology: Wired Ethernet
• Interface: Ethernet
• Maximum data transfer rate: 1000 Mbit/s (1 Gbps)
• Product colour: Black and Blue
• Form factor: Internal module for vendor-compatible systems

How to use

Install the LAN Flex Port 2020 into the appropriate internal expansion slot or port bay of a compatible HP server or network device following the device manufacturer's installation procedure. Ensure the host system is powered down or placed in maintenance mode before insertion. After physical installation, connect a standard Cat5e or higher Ethernet cable to the port and configure network settings in the operating system or management interface to enable the 1GbE link.

Recommendations

Use shielded or unshielded twisted-pair Ethernet cables rated for gigabit operation (Cat5e or higher). Verify firmware and driver compatibility with the host platform and apply vendor updates as needed to ensure optimal performance and stability.
