Server network adapters
Keep the full NIC, HCA or DPU number and required mounting format. Check the host slot or OCP location, bracket, cooling and driver support.
ASTER RACKIT / NICs & fabric bundles
Connect the server to the right fabric.
Bring adapters, optics and cables together around the host and switch at each end. Quote the exact NIC or DPU, mounting format, link media and cable length without assuming that connector shape alone proves interoperability.
NICs & fabric bundles / product range
Choose the purchasing route that fits your project.
Bring adapters, optics and cables together around the host and switch at each end. Quote the exact NIC or DPU, mounting format, link media and cable length without assuming that connector shape alone proves interoperability.
Optics & cable assemblies
Identify both endpoints, port speed, connector, reach and fibre requirements. DAC and AOC requests need the complete cable identity and length.
GPU fabric bundles
Plan adapter count and port mapping with the server and switching design. Record breakout requirements and every cable end so the quoted bundle can be checked line by line.
Part-number discipline
Same manufacturer does not mean the same part number.
OEM option numbers, service-spare numbers and component-manufacturer MPNs are distinct purchasing identities. Similar hardware is not an approved substitution.
OEM-labelled parts
Specify the server brand, full option or spare PN and exact target system. The manufacturer marking can be recorded alongside it; it must not replace the OEM number on your order.
Component-brand products
Specify the manufacturer MPN and required specification. These products are quoted under their own identity, with host compatibility and any proposed OEM alternative reviewed separately.
Selection guide
Compare nics & fabric bundles by the job they need to do.
Use this guide to prepare your requirement. Only the complete system and exact part identity can establish a suitable configuration.
| Requirement | Typical buying purpose | Confirm before ordering |
|---|---|---|
| PCIe adapter | Expand a supported server slot. | Slot resources, bracket height, airflow and driver requirements. |
| OCP adapter | Populate a supported dedicated networking position. | Exact OCP format, host support, retention and cooling. |
| Optical link | Connect identified ports over the required fibre path. | Endpoint support, speed, wavelength, connector and reach. |
| DAC / AOC | Connect known endpoints using a cable assembly. | Cable PN, length, supported endpoints and any breakout mapping. |
Build the requirement
The details that prevent the wrong part arriving.
- Both endpoints
- List the server NIC and switch model, not only the target link speed.
- Adapter identity
- Specify complete PN, interface type, port count and required bracket or mounting format.
- Link specification
- Record speed, media, connector, distance and required breakout arrangement.
- Firmware & drivers
- State the operating system and any required firmware or driver baseline.
- Cooling & power
- Check the adapter and optic requirements in the selected host and switch.
- Port map
- Assign each adapter port, cable end and switch port to avoid incomplete or duplicated bundles.
Project use
Support the way your team buys and deploys.
AI / HPC fabrics
Organise compute, storage and management connections as separate requirements where the design calls for them.
Virtualisation clusters
Align adapter count, link speed and redundancy requirements with the host and switch configuration.
Rack integration
Prepare a labelled cable and adapter list with exact endpoints, lengths and accessory scope.
OEM part directory
Start with the exact number.
Examples from the parts directory, not a live stock list. Open an item for its description and applicable requirements; confirm the offered condition, host fit and availability with sales.

Product & operations gallery
A closer view of the products and preparation.
Specific product presentations and working environments are labelled separately. Ask for current photographs of the actual units offered to you.
Before dispatch
Agree the condition. Check the complete kit.
Set the inspection and packing requirements with your quotation. A scene photograph does not establish that a particular unit has passed a test.
- Identity & visible condition
- Request readable label and connector photographs of the offered units. Record the full PN, revision and any cosmetic limitations.
- Functional checks
- Agree category-appropriate checks and the available results. Drive health, memory tests and adapter checks are different inspection scopes.
- Complete accessories
- Confirm the exact carrier, bracket, cable, rail or mounting kit on the packing list. Unlisted accessories are not assumed to be included.
- Protective packing
- Specify protection suitable for the equipment. Servers need full-base support with thick pearl-cotton foam; keep loose metal parts separate from the chassis.

Buyer questions
Clear answers before you request a quote.
Does the same connector guarantee interoperability?
No. The exact endpoint support, speed, media and firmware requirements still need review.
Can you quote NICs and optics as one package?
Yes. Provide host and switch models, port counts, link requirements and cable lengths. Each item remains separately identified.
Are Ethernet and InfiniBand interchangeable?
Do not assume a change of protocol is supported. Specify the exact adapter and intended operating mode.
Can I request a port-to-port cable list?
Yes. Include the host and switch layout, number of nodes and required links. The agreed topology determines the final list.
Can I send a mixed-brand parts list?
Yes. Keep each brand, complete PN, quantity, condition preference and target system on its own line. Identify whether alternatives may be considered.
Do you sell new and pre-owned parts?
You can request either condition. The offer must identify the supplied condition, inspection scope, warranty terms and included accessories for each item.
Will a request reserve stock or place an order?
No. The request is a draft for discussion. Availability, pricing and order terms are confirmed separately.
Can customers visit the warehouse and workshop?
Contact the team to arrange a visit and discuss which equipment or inspection process you would like to see. Access and demonstration details are confirmed in advance.
