HPE Ethernet 10Gb 2-port 560SFP+ Adapter

Extended SKU - This adapter is part of an extended catalog of products tailored for customers in specific markets or with specific workloads,
requiring the utmost in performance or value, but typically have a longer lead-time.
The HPE Ethernet 10Gb 2-port 560SFP+ Adapter features the latest Intel 82599 controller. It is a low-cost, low-power dual port PCIe
v2.0 x8 adapter designed for HPE ProLiant Gen8 and select G7 ML/DL/SL servers. The HPE 560SFP+ addresses the demanding needs
of the next-generation data center by providing unmatched features for virtualization and scalability that complement the HPE Gen8
server platform.
The HPE 560SFP+ comes with both low profile and standard brackets and has two SFP+ cages that enable connections with DACs as
well as SR fiber optic modules. The HPE 560SFP+ adapter supports SR-IOV and high performance networking features such as VLAN
tagging, low latency interrupts, TCP and UDP checksum offloading, MSI-X, NIC teaming (bonding), Receive Side Scaling (RSS), jumbo
frames, and PXE boot.

Configuration Utilities

DPDK

HPE Sea Of Sensors 3D

This adapter delivers 20 Gb/s bi-directional Ethernet transfer rate per port (40 Gb/s per adapter), providing
the network performance needed to improve response times and alleviate bottlenecks.

IEEE 802.1Q virtual local area network (VLAN) protocol allows each physical port of this adapter 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.

Normally the TCP Checksum is computed by the protocol stack. Segmentation Offload is technique for
increasing outbound throughput of high-bandwidth network connections by reducing CPU overhead. The
technique is also called TCP segmentation offload (TSO) when applied to TCP, or generic segmentation offload
(GSO).

This adapter 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.

This adapter supports DPDK with benefit for packet processing acceleration and use in NFV deployments.

Support for the HPE Sea of Sensors which is a collection of 32 sensors that automatically track thermal activity ­heat - across the server. When temperatures get too high, sensors can initiate fans and make other adjustments
to reduce energy usage. A significant improvement lies in the ability to apply fan speed increases only to the

portion of the system that is rising in temperature, rather than all six fans in unison, which reduces the amount
of energy used for cooling.

IPv6

Jumbo Frames

LED Indicators

Management Support

Message Signaled Interrupt (Extended) (MSI-X)

Network Adapter Teaming

IPv6 uses 128-bit addressing allowing for more devices and users on the internet. IPv4 supported 32-bit
addressing.

This adapter supports Jumbo Frames (also known as extended frames), permitting up to a 9,000 byte (KB)
transmission unit (MTU) when running Ethernet I/O traffic. This is over five times the size of a standard 1500­byte 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.

LED indicators show link integrity and network activity for easy troubleshooting.

This adapter ships with agents that can be managed from HPE Systems Insight Manager or other management
application that support SNMP.

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

This adapter support for NIC teaming helps IT administrators increase network fault tolerance and increased
network bandwidth, the team of adapters can work together as a single virtual adapter, providing support for
several different types of teaming enabling IT administrators to optimize availability, improve performance
and help reduce costs.

Optimized for Virtualization

PCI Express Interface

Preboot eXecution Environment (PXE)

Receive Side Scaling (RSS)

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

This adapter 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.

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.

RSS resolves the single-processor bottleneck by allowing the receive side network load from a network adapter
to be shared across multiple processors. RSS enables packet receive-processing to scale with the number of
available processors.

Server Integration

Single-Root I/O Virtualization

TCP/UDP/IP

Precision Time Protocol (IEEE 1588 PTP)

VMware NewQueue and Microsoft Virtual Machine Queue (VMQ)

This adapter is a validated, tested, and qualified solution that is optimized for HPE ProLiant servers. Hewlett
Packard Enterprise validates a wide variety of major operating systems drivers with the full suite of web-based
enterprise management utilities including HPE Intelligent Provisioning and HPE Systems Insight Manager that
simplify network management.
This approach provides a more robust and reliable networking solution than offerings from other vendors and
provides users with a single point of contact for both their servers and their network adapters.

Single-Root I/O Virtualization (SR-IOV) provides a mechanism to bypass the host system hypervisor in virtual
environments providing near metal performance and server efficiency. SR-IOV provides mechanism to create
multiple Virtual Functions (VFs) to share single PCIe resources. The device is capable of SR-IOV, and requires
Server BIOS support, controller firmware, and OS support.

For overall improved system response, this adapter supports standard TCP/IP offloading techniques including:
TCP/IP, UDP 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.

Synchronization of system clocks throughout a network, achieving clock accuracy in the sub-microsecond
range, making it suitable for measurement and control systems.

VMware NetQueue is technology that significantly improves performance of 10 Gigabit Ethernet network
adapters in virtualized environments.
Windows Hyper-V VMQ (VMQ) is a feature available on servers running Windows Server 2008 R2 with VMQ­enabled Ethernet adapters. VMQ uses hardware packet filtering to deliver packet data from an external virtual
machine network directly to virtual machines, which reduces the overhead of routing packets and copying
them from the management operating system to the virtual machine.
