Identity: The X893433-001 is an HP OEM mezzanine network adapter based on the NVIDIA Mellanox ConnectX-3 Pro chipset, providing single-port 10GbE connectivity for HP ProLiant blade server environments. MPN: X893433-001. This product IS a blade server mezzanine NIC with a proprietary mezzanine connector. It is NOT a standard PCIe add-in card and is NOT compatible with standard tower or rack-mount servers. The mezzanine form factor requires a compatible HP blade chassis mezzanine slot. Condition: refurbished.
Engineering: The ConnectX-3 Pro chipset delivers 10GbE with hardware-accelerated SR-IOV (Single Root I/O Virtualization), supporting up to 64 virtual functions (VFs) per port. RoCE v1 (RDMA over Converged Ethernet) is natively supported, enabling low-latency memory access between blade nodes without CPU involvement. The adapter connects to the blade chassis backplane through the mezzanine connector; upstream bandwidth is determined by the blade enclosure's mezzanine interconnect infrastructure rather than a discrete PCIe slot.
Deployment: Deployed in VMware ESXi virtualization environments on HP ProLiant BL-series blade servers requiring SR-IOV for direct VF assignment to virtual machines, in Hyper-V deployments needing high-throughput 10GbE within blade enclosures, and in enterprise data centre consolidation projects migrating from HP NC-series mezzanine adapters to ConnectX-3 Pro for RoCE capability. Also used in HPC blade clusters requiring 10GbE messaging fabric within a single chassis.

Condition: Refurbished
Compatibility: Compatible with HP ProLiant BL-series blade servers that support a 10GbE mezzanine adapter in the appropriate mezzanine slot — consult HP's blade compatibility matrix for confirmed models. NOT compatible with standard desktop, tower, or rack-mount servers — the mezzanine connector is NOT a PCIe x8 or x16 slot. NOT a drop-in replacement for dual-port HP mezzanine adapters in deployments requiring two uplink ports per blade. Previous generation predecessor: ConnectX-2 mezzanine adapters. Successor for higher speed: ConnectX-4 Lx mezzanine (25GbE, RoCE v2).
