QuickSpecs HPE Ethernet 10Gb 2-port 570FLR-SFP+ Adapter

Overview

Overview

HPE Ethernet 10Gb 2-port 570FLR-SFP+ Adapter

The HPE 570FLR-SFP dual-port 10Gb Ethernet SFP+ Onload server adapter is based on Solarflare's second generation 10GbE controller,
Solarflare™ SFC9020, and delivers unmatched message rates with low latency and jitter over standard Ethernet along with the lowest CPU
utilization and power consumption, enabling the industry's best performance and scalability for financial services and other enterprise
data centers.
The HPE 570SFP+ has two SFP+ cages that enable connections with DACs as well as SR fiber optic modules. It supports 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

Throughput­Theoretical Bandwidth

802.1Q VLANs

Checksum &
Segmentation Offload

Configuration Utilities

Interrupt Coalescing

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.

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.

IPv6

Jumbo Frames

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 1500-

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.

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.

Receive Side Scaling
(RSS)

Receive Flow Steering
(RFS)

Server Integration

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.

Receive Flow Steering (RFS) acceleration improves processing efficiency by steering received packets to the
CPU core that is running the application that consumes those packets. Aligning I/O processing to the CPU
core running the application improves cache efficiency, CPU utilization, throughput and latency.

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.

QuickSpecs HPE Ethernet 10Gb 2-port 570FLR-SFP+ Adapter

Standard Features

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.

TCP/UDP/IP

Warranty

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.
