Introduction
The HP Z Dual-Port 10GbE Network Module HP Z 10GbE Dual Port Module is a 10GBASE-T adapter utilizing the Intel X722 MAC and
X557-AT2 PHY pairing to deliver full line-rate performance, utilizing CAT 6A UTP cabling (or better) with distances up to 100
meters. Providing high performance Ethernet connectivity, it is ideal for use in workstation, virtual workstation and cloud
computing environments. It supports enterprise class features (VLAN tagging, adaptive interrupt coalescing, MSI-X, NIC teaming
(bonding), Receive Side Scaling (RSS), jumbo frames, PXE boot) and virtualization features (VMware NetQueue and Microsoft
VMQ). Experience increased performance with offload protocols and Intel’s iWARP RDMA protocol. The module was developed to
be a low-cost option without the need of a PCIe slot, which can help with network transitions to 10G.

• Up to a theoretical 20Gb/s bi-directional near line rate throughput per port (combined dual port throughput limited)
• Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA) using internet Wide Area RDMA Protocol (iWARP)
• SR-IOV capable in hardware (requires server FW, SW and OS support; 128 per device)
• 1,536 Transmit and Receive Queues per port
• Jumbo Frames, Checksum & Segmentation Offload, IPv6 and RSS
• Field replaceable and upgradeable
• Support for Preboot eXecution Environment (PXE)
• IEEE 1588 / IEEE 802.1as (Time Synchronization)
• Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) for low power consumption during periods of low data activity
Service and Support
The HP Limited Warranty terms and conditions for HP-branded options and accessories (collectively referred to in this HP Limited
