HPE Ethernet 10Gb 2-port 560SFP+ Adapter
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.

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
