This review is from: HP 412648-B21 NC360T PCI-Express DP GigaBit Adapter (Personal Computers)
I ordered 7 of these through a local supplier who gets them direct from Amazon, however when the cards arrived they arrived in nothing more than a static bag with no manuals, any other packaging or low profile brackets. I’m very disappointed as although it doesn’t specifically state that these cards come with low profile brackets, the picture of the item shows it with a low profile bracket attached, and all info I could find on HP’s website state that the packaging includes a low profile bracket.
I specifically bought these to put into a bunch of HP microservers based on a previous reviewer comments that he was using these in one of his servers. As it stands these are now totally useless to me unless I completely remove the backing plate and since these are going into servers that is not good enough.
Product Documentation on HP’s website : […]
The local supplier contacted Amazon who stated that they receive these as is from a 3rd party supplier.
If you are going to buy these to put into low profile servers, rather look for something else and don’t waste your money.
Extremely disappointed and won’t be importing anything from Amazon anymore. 🙁

Since this is sold as new I don’t understand why it only comes with regular bracket. According the HP site for this NIC it should come with a low profile bracket as well.
[…] (check whats in the box tab on the page)
As mentioned by another reviewer I bought this for microserver but I can’t install unless I can find a low profile bracket on ebay perhaps.
The picture is misleading not showing the actual product picture. Amazon should correct it.

This is an excellent NIC and works perfectly with VMware ESXi 5.1. If you are looking for a good, fairly priced, dual NIC to put into an ESXi build, I highly recommend this one.

Supposed to come with low profile brackets?,
