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.

Worth the money
Color: White
I have only used the pencil for a couple days, but it is definitely worth the $10 price. It easily turns on, needs no Bluetooth to use, has a battery indicator, charges very quickly, has extra tips, and works well. The only issue I have on my 11th generation A16 iPad, is when the pen is magnetically attached, it covers part of the volume down button and sometimes causes volume mute.

works just like a name brand apple pencil!
Color: White
i wanted an apple pencil with my new ipad but absolutely refuse to pay the cost of the name brand. this connected/paired super easy and even had the magnet in it to connect to the size of the ipad. i mainly use it for playing games, navigating my ipad, and sometimes coloring and its easy to maneuver! it comes with 3 different tips for different sized writing if youre one to take notes. it charges super quick, id say within 10-15 minutes, and the charge lasts (depending on use) HOURS! i think i maybe charge it every 2-3 days, and i use it quite frequently. overall a really good dupe if youre balling on a budget like me!!

WOW! This printer has been VERY impressive thus far *UPDATE*
Color: Black, Style: ET-2800-B, Pattern Name: Printer
My old printer broke (sooner than I would have liked) so I did A LOT of research before deciding to buy this Epson EcoTank printer for home office use. This is my honest review of it this far and I will definitely update my review if I run into any issues. So far, this printer has been pretty impressive (I've been using it for about a month). The price was pretty average for a printer... but I personally think all printers are overpriced so it was a bit more than I would have liked to spend. It is smaller and more lightweight than I was expecting which is a plus because it takes up less desk space than my previous HP printer. It is very easy to set up, comes with step-by-step easy instructions and guided instructions through the app. It only took me about 10 minutes (Mostly just waiting for the printer to initialize on its own). It is very easy and surprisingly satisfying to fill the ink tank. I like the idea that this ink might last longer than traditional cartridges and won't have as much plastic waste that went along with my old HP Inkjet. I have printed plain black and white documents as well as photos. I print all my photos at home, which is most of the printing that I do, so quality was important to me. The photos came out with pretty good quality! No ink smudges or off colors, colors are bright/vivid, and it is easy to modify what paper you're using with automatic prompts on the printer. Now for the negatives and the reason I'm giving this 4 stars... app to printer connection issues. This was a big issue with my old printer as well. I'm pretty tech savvy and I just have no idea why this is still always an issue for me. There is an extra Epson app that you are supposed to download for printing. Sometimes it can find my printer, sometimes it can't. Sometimes it gives me printer errors or won't let me print documents. And now every time I go to print something it says the paper being used doesn't match the paper settings so I have to bypass that error message (even though it does match in settings and the app, and this happens for both regular paper and photo paper). I've turned everything off and back on again, but the issues with consistent connection and error messages are still an issue. Usually with some fiddling around, I can get the documents/pictures to print but sometimes it feels like I'm jumping through unnecessary hoops. I'm still working out the kinks so if I find some magic solution I'll update my review. Considering this is an issue with most home printers I've used, it's not a deal breaker. All in all, if you are looking for a new home printer, I would definitely recommend this one. The quality has been great for me and I am pleased with my purchase (so far). Hope this helps! *UPDATE*: I have now printed HUNDREDS of photos, they are all excellent quality, and my ink tanks are still mostly full. This is WAY better than my HP printer as far as ink longevity. Changing my review to 5 stars just based on how long this ink lasts. User interface is still a tad annoying but so worth it regardless.

Almost a year after purchase and this printer has not let me down!
Color: Black, Style: ET-2800-B, Pattern Name: Printer
I wanted to wait to write a review on this printer to see how it held up over time. Happy to report, after almost a year, it is still working perfectly! I was very nervous about purchasing a printer since it was my first time having to shop for one and almost every printer I looked at had something negative to say about the product. After extensive research, I decided to take a leap with the Epson EcoTank 2800. I was looking for a printer to use for recreational use. Something with decent print quality and longevity as well as something on a reasonable budget. I normally print full pages of color and have been using it regularly for around a year and I have about half of the ink that came with the printer left. Safe to say, the ink lasts a while. The quality may not be the top of the line quality you can get with a more expensive printer, but for the price and just everyday use, the quality is satisfactory. It was easy to set up and walked you through the instructions to connect to devices and configure it. The screen is a little small but if you can overlook that, it really is a nice printer. I have used regular printer paper, card stock, and sticker paper with this printer and I try to load only a few sheets at a time to avoid a jam but I haven't had any issues with it so far. Overall, I am extremely happy with my purchase. It can be extremely difficult to find a decent printer and some reviews can be misleading or leave you with questions on if the product is for you. If you are looking for something for printing everyday with decent quality and ink consumption that won't cost you a fortune, this printer is definitely worth taking a chance on!
