  • 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.

Small But Mighty — The Best Travel Jewelry Case I’ve Ever Used
Color: Glitter White
This Hatori travel jewelry box is honestly the best little jewelry organizer I’ve ever owned. I don’t know how it works its magic, but it somehow fits so much jewelry and still looks tiny and compact. Go figure. Size & Portability: It’s the perfect size—small enough to toss into a suitcase, carry-on, or even a purse, but big enough to hold everything I need for a trip. Lightweight, sturdy, and it takes up almost no space. Storage Layout: The double-layer design is genius. Bottom: 7 ring rolls + 3 removable compartments (I love that I can move them around depending on what I’m packing). Top: 5 hooks and an elastic pocket to keep necklaces from tangling—YES, it actually works. Everything stays in place, nothing gets tangled, and it looks beautifully organized when you open it. A travel miracle. Quality: The glittery white PU leather exterior is sturdy and cute, and the interior is lined with soft velvet that protects everything. The clasp is easy to use and feels secure—no accidental openings in your suitcase. Why I Love It: It’s compact, durable, organized, and honestly just adorable. Perfect for travel, but also great for keeping your everyday jewelry together in a drawer. If you travel at all—or just like your jewelry organized—this little box is worth every penny. It packs a punch for its size.

Great travel jewelry case
Color: Black
Great colors. Good size. Easy to pack and carry. Fits a good amount of jewelry. It’s decent quality. I know there is better out there but for the value it’s great. It snaps close and I haven’t had mine accidentally come open at all. The inside is soft. My necklaces did get a little tangled inside but not too bad. I could have put them in there better. Very nice though.

Store it all!
Color: Pink
This is a compact, light weight, efficient, and sturdy/convenient way to securely store jewelry. The small compact case allows jewelry from earrings to necklaces to bracelets and rings to be all together without being tangled and/or on top of each other. I have more earrings than rings so I used the ring area to store the rest of my earrings. The tight clasp allows the lid to be fasten snuggly to the body of the case. The price was right considering what other stores were charging. I chose the pink case which is a very soft pink, as like the case, but there are other colors to choose from. The case is mobile and would stand strong in a carry on case or bag. I highly recommend this item if you are looking to organize and have your jewelry neatly and safely all in one place!

Cute and super convenient for travel
Color: Black
Really happy with this jewelry box overall. It’s compact, lightweight, and perfect for travel. The compartments are well designed for rings, earrings, and even long bracelets, which fit really nicely. The only downside for me is the necklace section. When using multiple necklaces, they can get tangled, so it’s not the most practical part of the case. Other than that, it’s a great product for the price and looks very cute
