Overview

HPE Ethernet 10Gb 2-port 571SFP+ Adapter

The HPE Ethernet 10Gb 2-port 571SFP+ Adapter based on the Performant SFC9020 controller from Solarflare is designed to address
issues facing data center managers today. Equipped to handle the application loads of the latest multi-core processors, the HPE Ethernet
571 adapter also delivers unmatched power efficiency for the consolidation and deployment of high-density servers.

Standard Features

Standard Features

Throughput­Theoretical Bandwidth

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.

802.1Q VLANs

Configuration Utilities

Interrupt Coalescing

Jumbo Frames

LED Indicators

Management Support

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.

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.

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.

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.

PCI Express Interface

Preboot eXecution Environment (PXE)

Server Integration

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.

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.

Standard Features

Single-Root I/O Virtualization

TCP/UDP/IP

Warranty

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.

Maximum: The remaining warranty of the HPE product in which it is installed (to a maximum three-year, limited
warranty).
Minimum: One year limited warranty.
