HP 560FLR-SFP+ Specification

The HP Ethernet 10Gb 2-port 560FLR-SFP+ adapter, featuring the next generation of 10Gb Ethernet integration offering 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 HP
ProLiant Gen8 Rack and Scale-Out servers.

The HP 560FLR dual-port design is ideal for high performance computing, server virtualization, security, server consolidation, and
other applications requiring highest throughput. The total aggregate throughput of 20Gb meets the needs for customers desiring
highest bandwidth.

The HP 560FLR supports SR-IOV and enterprise class features such as Receive Side Scaling (RSS), Jumbo frames, PXE boot, Checksum
and segmentation offload, and time stamping (IEEE 1588) along with virtualization features such as VMware NetQueue, Microsoft VMQ
and Intel Virtualization Technology for Connectivity (VT-c).

Product Features

Dual-port 10GbE FlexibleLOM that provides the flexibility to meet growing infrastructure needs.
Industry-leading throughput and latency performance
Up to 40Gb/s bi-directional near line rate throughput
Supports SR-IOV (requires server FW, SW and OS support)
Hardware acceleration and offloads for stateless TCP/IP
Support for Preboot eXecution Environment (PXE)
Supports Wake-on-LAN (at 1 Gb)

NOTE:

Wake-on-LAN is supported only on Port 1 from system power state S5.

Improved small packet performance
Integrated PHY and MAC

Dual-port 10 Gigabit
Ethernet Throughput

The HP 560FLR FlexibleLOM delivers 20Gbps full duplex Ethernet transfer rate per port (40 Gbps
aggregate full duplex), providing the network performance needed to improve response times and
alleviate bottlenecks that impact performance of next generation data centers. 10Gb Ethernet bandwidth
is ideal for high performance computing, database clusters, and more.

Jumbo Frames

The HP 560FLR FlexibleLOM supports jumbo frames (also known as extended frames), permitting up to a

9.5K 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.

802.1Q VLANs

IEEE 802.1Q virtual local area network (VLAN) protocol allows each physical port of the HP 560FLR
FlexibleLOM to be separated into multiple virtual NICs for added network segmentation and enhanced
security and performance. VLANs increase security by isolating traffic between users. Limiting the
broadcast traffic to within the same VLAN domain also improves performance.

Optimized for
Virtualization

I/O Virtualization support for VMware NetQueue and Microsoft VMQ help meet the performance demands
of consolidated virtual workloads.

Compliant with Single-Root I/O Virtualization (SR-IOV), accommodating multiple Virtual Machines (VMs) to
share single PCIe resources. The HP 560FLR-SFP+ supports SR-IOV, and requires Firmware, Software and
OS support.

MSI and MSI-X

MSI and MSI-X Message Signaled Interrupt (Extended) provides performance benefits for multi-core
servers by balancing interrupts between CPUs/cores load.

TCP/IP Stateless
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.

FlexibleLOM slot
Compatibility

Compatible with HP FlexibleLOM slot for select HP ProLiant Gen8 Rack and Scale-Out servers.
