The HP 10GbE Pass-Thru Module (part number 538113-B21) is a plug-in module designed to offer high-speed connectivity for enterprise environments. This module comes equipped with 16 ports and supports a 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) connection, which ensures fast, reliable data transmission suitable for high-performance computing tasks. The pass-thru architecture allows it to connect external network devices directly to server blades, bypassing conventional switching processes for straightforward and quick data transfers.
Unlike traditional switches, the HP 538113-B21 operates with a pass-thru function, meaning it functions as a transparent device that relays communication between connected hardware without making additional network-level decisions. This feature maximises efficiency while minimising the need for complex configurations. Additionally, it helps eliminate potential bottlenecks in data transmission by transmitting signals directly between components.
The module is designed for installation in a rack-mounted server chassis, making it an optimal solution for data centres or virtualised environments that require high bandwidth and low-latency communication. More specifically, it is compatible with HP's c-Class BladeSystem enclosures, providing a reliable method for ensuring that 10GbE connections reach their destination without unnecessary processing by intermediaries.
Overall, the HP 538113-B21 10GbE Pass-Thru Module is a specialised piece of hardware that facilitates direct, high-speed 10GbE communications within corporate IT infrastructures, especially within server blade configurations. Its compact form factor, coupled with its 16-port capacity, makes it an efficient choice for expanding network capabilities in a plug-and-play manner within blade environments.
