Before you believe a bad review about us

We know some of our reviews are hard to read. We are not hiding from them — we answer every single one in public, with order numbers, tracking records and screenshots.

But here is what a one-star review will never tell you:

  • We import from 70+ official distributors. That is why you pay far less than local retail — and why delivery takes longer. We publish the date before you pay, never after.
  • You can pay only when your goods land in Johannesburg. Pay on Arrival, no full payment up front. Ask yourself what scammer offers that.
  • Nobody has ever lost money with us. You get the product, or you get a refund. There is no third option, and there never has been.
  • We are part of the ITwork group — ten years trading in Europe, nine stores, thousands of positive reviews.
  • Johannesburg and Cape Town stores open this year — real shelves, real stock, walk in and buy the same day.

We are not satisfied with our review scores, and we are not going to fix them by hiding anything. We are fixing them by being faster, clearer and easier to reach than any reason to complain.

The HP Ethernet 10GbE dual port 561T adapter features the Intel® Ethernet Controller X540 and is designed for HP ProLiant Gen8 rack, tower and scalable servers. This dual‑port 10GBASE‑T standup adapter delivers up to 20 Gbps full‑duplex per card using standard CAT6 or better UTP cabling and is intended for data center and virtualization environments requiring reliable, energy‑efficient 10 GbE connectivity.

Advantages

The HP 561T offers a low‑cost, low‑power solution with proven HP reliability and compatibility with ProLiant Gen8 platforms. It supports virtualization‑oriented features and scalable networking options, enabling efficient use of server resources while maintaining high throughput and broad industry support.

Key specifications

  • Controller: Intel® Ethernet Controller X540
  • Ports: Dual 10GBASE‑T
  • Throughput: 20 Gbps full‑duplex per card (10 Gbps per port)
  • Cabling: Compatible with CAT6 or better UTP
  • Offloads and features: TCP/UDP checksum offload, VLAN tagging, low latency interrupts, MSI‑X
  • Advanced networking: NIC teaming (bonding), Receive Side Scaling (RSS), jumbo frames
  • Boot and virtualization: PXE boot, VMDq and SR‑IOV ready
  • Wake support: Wake on LAN (WOL)

How to use

Install the HP 561T into a compatible PCIe slot in an HP ProLiant Gen8 server following the server maintenance and safety instructions. Connect each 10GBASE‑T port to the network using CAT6 or higher UTP cabling and configure network settings in the operating system or hypervisor. Enable supported offloads and virtualization features (VMDq, SR‑IOV) in firmware and driver settings as required for your workload. Update to the latest HP/Intel drivers and firmware for optimal performance and stability.

Recommendations

For stable 10 GbE links, use CAT6A or better cabling for longer runs; verify server BIOS and driver compatibility with ProLiant Gen8 systems and apply vendor firmware updates. Enable appropriate offloads and RSS for virtualized environments to improve throughput and CPU efficiency.
