Product Features
HP FlexFabric 10Gb 2-port 554FLR-SFP+ Adapter
Industry-leading throughput and latency performance
FlexibleLOM Adapter
Dual 10Gb ports provide up to 40Gb full duplex per adapter
Hardware acceleration and offloads for stateless TCP/IP, TCP Offload Engine (TOE), Fibre Channel
over Ethernet (FCoE) and iSCSI
Jumbo frames support
Supports FlexFabric technology where the functionality of a NIC (Ethernet), iSCSI, and Fibre Channel
are combined onto a single network adapter reducing the number of adapters and cables and
reducing acquisition and operational costs.
NOTE:
When configured for FCoE, Multipath IO is not supported in SLES11
Improved small packet performance.
Includes 128MB of onboard memory.
Supports the Preboot eXecution Environment (PXE)
Supports receive-side scaling (RSS) for the efficient distribution of network receive processing
across multiple CPUs in multiprocessor systems.
Support Wake On LAN
Supports VMWare NetQueue, Microsoft Virtual Machine Queue (VMQ) for Windows
Supports SR-IOV
Flex-10 is not supported
Dual-port 10 Gigabit
Ethernet Throughput
(theoretical bandwidth)
PCI Express Interface
Jumbo Frames
Hardware iSCSI or FCoE
with Full Offload
TCP/IP Stateless Offload
The 20,000 Mbps full duplex Ethernet transfer rate per port (40 Gbps aggregate full duplex), providing the
network performance needed to improve response times and alleviate bottlenecks. 10Gb Ethernet
bandwidth is ideal for high performance computing, database clusters.
The HP 554FLR-SFP+ is designed with an eight lane (x8) PCI Express bus based on the PCIe 2.0 standard.
The adapter is backward compatible with four lane (x4) PCI Express, automatically auto-sensing between
x8 and x4 slots.
Jumbo frames (also known as extended frames) permit a 9,000 byte transmission unit (MTU). The HP
554FLR-SFP+ adapter supports 9KB jumbo frames as a way to achieve higher throughput and better CPU
utilization. Jumbo frames are particularly useful for database transfers and tape backups.
The 554FLR-SFP+ is the only network option for HP Gen8 rack servers that supports hardware FCoE or
iSCSI with full protocol offload.
For overall improved system response, the HP 554FLR-SFP+ adapter supports standard TCP/IP offloading
techniques including:
TCP/IP checksum offload (TCO) moves the TCP and IP checksum offloading from the CPU to the
network adapter.
Large Send Offload (LSO) or TCP Segmentation Offload (TSO) allows the TCP segmentation to be
handled by the adapter rather than the CPU.

Interrupt Coalescing
802.1p QoS Tagging
iSCSI
Network Management
Management Support
Server Integration
Interrupt coalescing (interrupt moderation) groups multiple packets, thereby reducing the number of
interrupts sent to the host. This process optimizes host efficiency, leaving the CPU available for other
duties.
IEEE quality of service (QoS) 802.1p tagging allows the adapter to mark or tag frames with a priority level
across a QoS-aware network for improved traffic flow.
The HP 554FLR-SFP+ adapter supports accelerated iSCSI and iSCSI INT 13 Boot
Like all HP ProLiant server adapters, the HP 554FLR-SFP+ adapter ships with agents that can be managed
from HP Systems Insight Manager or other management application that support SNMP.
The HP 554FLR-SFP+ adapter is a validated, tested, and qualified solution that is optimized for HP ProLiant
servers. HP validates a wide variety of major operating systems drivers with the full suite of web-based
enterprise management utilities including HP Intelligent Provisioning and HP Systems Insight Manager that
simplify network management.

This approach provides a more robust and reliable networking solution than offerings from other venders
and provides users with a single point of contact for both their servers and their network adapters.
Each HP 554FLR-SFP+ ships with a suite of operating system-tailored configuration utilities that allow the
user to enable initial diagnostics and configure adapter teaming. This includes a patented teaming GUI for
Microsoft Windows operating systems. Additionally, support for scripted installations of teams in a
Microsoft Windows environment allow for unattended OS installations.
Bracket LED indicators show link integrity and network activity for easy troubleshooting.
Support for PXE enables automatic deployment of computing resources remotely from anywhere. It allows
a new or existing server to boot over the network and download software, including the operating system,
from a management/ deployment server at another location on the network. Additionally, PXE enables
decentralized software distribution and remote troubleshooting and repairs.
Maximum: The remaining warranty of the HP product in which it is installed (to a maximum three-year,
limited warranty).
Minimum: One year limited warranty.
