Fibre 1GB NIC needed for HP Netserver LC2000r U3 P3

[Michael Gildersleeve]

I have a HP Netserver LC2000r U3 P3, running Red Hat 9 and need to install a Fibre 1GB NIC to connect to a GB Brocaid Swithch which connects to a HITACHI disk array. Does anyone know what Part Number Fibre NIC card will work with this server.

Hi Michael,

HP sold a couple of different GB Fiber NIC cards:
P5451A - 3COM 3C996-SX
P2512AV - Intel 82543GC

I don't know if you'll still be able to find any of these as they are discontinued products.

Good luck in your search,

Thanks a lot for your reply. I have some old servers that we turned into Red Hat servers for specific purposes and could not find the information that I needed.

Thanks again.
