Technical Details of HPE Ethernet 10/25Gb 2-Port SFP28 MCX562A-ACAI OCP3 Adapter

  • Model: MCX562A-ACAI
  • Ports: 2 x SFP28
  • Data rates: 10/25 GbE per port (configurable per link)
  • Form factor: OCP 3.0 (Open Compute Project) mezzanine adapter for HPE Gen10 Plus servers
  • Host interface: PCIe-based mezzanine connection to the server (integrated with server backplane and management ecosystem)
  • Compatibility: Optimized for HPE Gen10 Plus servers and their firmware/driver stack; designed to work with standard HPE management tooling

How to install HPE Ethernet 10/25Gb 2-Port SFP28 MCX562A-ACAI OCP3 Adapter

  • Power down the HPE server and unplug from any power sources. Follow your data center’s safety procedures before opening the chassis.
  • Remove the existing mezzanine card (if applicable) or prepare the available OCP3 slot for the MCX562A-ACAI adapter. Ensure you have a clean, static-free work environment.
  • Align the MCX562A-ACAI with the OCP3 slot and firmly seat the adapter into the connector. Apply even pressure until the card is fully engaged and seated.
  • Secure the adapter with the appropriate retaining hardware or screws as specified by your server chassis design. Confirm that the card is flush and properly anchored to prevent movement during operation.
  • Connect SFP28 fiber or Direct Attach Copper (DAC) cables to each of the two SFP28 ports, ensuring proper channel types and distances for your deployment. Verify transceivers or cables are compatible with your network fabric.
  • Reassemble the server panel, reconnect power, and boot the system. Use the server management interface (e.g., HPE iLO and Smart Update tools) to verify recognition of the new adapter and complete any required firmware updates.
  • Install or update the appropriate drivers and firmware for the MCX562A-ACAI from HPE’s supported software repositories. Validate connectivity with a simple throughput test to confirm 10/25 GbE links are operational.

Frequently asked questions

  • What is the MCX562A-ACAI?
    The MCX562A-ACAI is a two-port SFP28 Ethernet adapter in an OCP 3.0 mezzanine form factor designed for HPE Gen10 Plus servers, delivering flexible 10/25 GbE connectivity per port.
  • What workloads benefit most from this adapter?
    High-performance virtualization, database workloads, scale-out storage, private cloud deployments, and other bandwidth-intensive applications that require low latency and scalable throughput.
  • Is it compatible with non-HPE servers?
    This adapter is optimized for HPE Gen10 Plus servers. While it may physically fit other platforms that share the OCP3 standard, official support, drivers, and firmware are provided through HPE for Gen10 Plus configurations.
  • What management capabilities come with this adapter?
    It works with HPE management tooling and firmware updates designed for Gen10 Plus platforms, enabling centralized monitoring, updates, and integration with existing data-center management workflows.
  • Do I need additional cables or transceivers?

Great for travel
Size: 30 Count (Pack of 1)
Since finding these I will NOT leave home without them!!! They have just the right thickness for it's size and they are super absorbent. I would not recommend that you reuse these but based on the cost purchasing more is easy. The quality is amazing and the size of them fits the price. I will be putting these on a subscription if I can

Smells good and works well

I was a bit skeptical at first but these actually work. I thought it was all going to be 1 pack of balls but they are separated into 4 balls per pack so the oils dont evaporate. This kept the bugs away from our tent when we went camping so I would say it works perfectly. And it smells good too! It also comes with the pouches to put them into and hang them.

Super recomend
liked it because it has a fresh smell of mint and lemon, it has no strong chemicals that harm health, I put it in the kitchen and in the places where these animals are most likely to exist and I did notice fewer signs of mice and spiders after several days. Easy to use and gives me peace of mind that it is safe for pets and family.

I used them to repel fruit flies and they seemed to help, but they do have an extremely strong smell.
