Compatible 10GbE NIC's - DL180 Gen 9

[NoseyTable]

Good day,

Which 10GbE NIC's are compatible with the DL180 Gen9 without its fans spinning up?  Our server is in an office environment and it's really disturbing. 

I have a collection of Mellanox, QLogic, and Intel adapters, so I'd like to reuse some of them if possible.

The server SKU is: 833978-S01

Hi !

Did you find a compatible 10GbE NIC with your DL180 Gen9 ? We are in the same situation and the answer you had is not helping because we choose the 560SFP+ from the list (HP Ethernet 10Gb 2-port 560SFP+ Adapter 665249-B21) and the fan are 80% !!

Thanks in advance for your help

If you are facing a fan issue, it is a different issue.

For Fan issue: I would suggest you update the server bios and all firmware with the latest.

Hi, thank you for your answer.

All firmware/bios is up to date. Maybe it’s not the card but why all is working like a charm when the card is not inserted ?

I’ve read a lot of testimony about this and the solution was bios/firmware update for some models but for this one it was to remove it…

If you have a solution I’m fully open, do I have to buy more fans ? Can it be a sensor issue (but all sensors reports were presents in lilo and normal)

Best regards,

Hello,

I would suggest, you have to log a proper case with HPE and share the appropriate logs for further analysis.

Sadly the warranty is expired on this one. We will try 2 others cards and if it's not working we will search for another brand of server (the price of the post warranty extension is nearly half of the price of a new server).

Our problem seems to be very common. We found a lot of other testimony like mine. So no mister, the 560SFP+ is not compatible with the DL180 G9 and nobody at your firm didn't really check (and we lost some money because of that).
