HPE FlexFabric 10Gb 2-port 534FLB Adapter
The HPE FlexFabric 10Gb 2-port 534FLB adapter features the next generation of 10Gb Ethernet offering in a single chip solution on
a FlexibleLOM form factor, further reducing power requirements for 2 ports of 10Gb Ethernet. It is designed for use with HPE
BladeSystem c-Class Gen8 servers.
It provides full duplex high performance Ethernet connectivity with support for HPE Virtual Connect FlexFabric blade interconnect
technology, allowing each 10GbE port to be divided into four physical NICs and optimize bandwidth management for virtualized
servers. The HPE 534FLB FlexFabric network adapter, in conjunction with HPE Virtual Connect FlexFabric technology, helps to
extend the benefits of virtualization beyond the server and into the rest of the infrastructure.
The HPE 530FLB supports enterprise class features such as VLAN tagging, adaptive interrupt coalescing, MSI-X, NIC teaming
(bonding), tunnel offloads (NVGRE, VxLAN), Receive Side Scaling (RSS), jumbo frames and PXE boot. It also supports virtualization
features such as SR-IOV (Windows, Linux, VMWare), VMware NetQueue and Microsoft VMQ.

NOTE:
The HPE 534FLB on each server blade connects to a 10Gb interconnect in bays 1-2 (HPE
BladeSystem c7000 Enclosure) or bay 1 (
HPE BladeSystem c3000 Enclosure).
NOTE:
The 534FLB requires a minimum of 2 GB of server memory.
NOTE:
The 534FLB supports linking at 1000Mbps or 10000Mbps when not connected to a Flex-10 device.
NOTE:
The 534FLB will only support 1000Mbps when connected to a 1Gb Ethernet interconnect.

Product Features
• Full hardware offload of iSCSI and FCoE storage protocol processing for highest performance
converged Ethernet data and storage networks.
• Dual-port 10GbE Flex-10 FlexibleLOM network adapter that provides the flexibility to choose the
type of LOM to meet growing infrastructure needs
• Industry-leading throughput and latency performance* Tunnel Offload support for NVGRE and
VxLAN
• Optimized for virtual server environments with support for HPE Flex-10 Technology and Single-Root
I/O Virtualization (SR-IOV)User configurable bandwidth settings when combined with the 10Gb Flex10 Virtual Connect module. From 100Mb/s to10Gb/s on up to four "Physical Function" NICs per port,
in increments of 100Mb/s for NIC. The combined bandwidth of NICs cannot exceed port bandwidth
i.e. 10 Gb.
• Up to 40Gb/s bi-directional near line
rate throughput
• Hardware acceleration and offloads for stateless TCP/IP, TCP Offload Engine (TOE)
• Improved small packet performance
• Support for Preboot eXecution Environment (PXE)

Up to four physical function NICs per port.
Ideal for virtualized server environment, especially for
dedicated bandwidth application like virtual machine
migration from one physical server to another physical server.
Jumbo Frames
The
HPE 534FLB adapter supports jumbo frames (also known as extended frames), permitting up to a 9K
byte (KB) transmission
unit (MTU) when running Ethernet I/O traffic. This is over 5X the size of a standard
1500
-byte Ethernet frame. With jumbo frames, networks can achieve higher throughput performance and
greater CPU utilization. These attributes are particularly useful for
database transfer and tape backup
operations.

Offloading
TCP, IP, UDP checksum offload, Large Send Offload (LSO), TCP, Segmentation Offload (TSO). These features
optimize host efficiency, leaving the CPU available for other duties.
