HP Ethernet 1Gb 4-port 366M Quickspecs

The HP 366M is a HP BladeSystem c-Class network adapter providing four Gigabit Ethernet ports on a single card saving valuable
server mezzanine slots for other purposes. The x4 PCI Express 366M is supported on ProLiant c-Class servers in all mezzanine slots.
For Gen8 ProLiant c-Class servers, the 366M is the first quad-port adapter option for c-Class with latest Intel® Ethernet I350 controller
With the 366M, up to 96 Gigabit Ethernet ports per c7000 enclosure and 48 per c3000 enclosure are possible.

The four ports provide the highest port density available for BladeSystem servers in a single adapter. The 366M is ideal for
virtualization, security, server consolidation, network segmentation, and other server applications requiring maximum throughput and
port density in a 1 GbE infrastructure. The total aggregate throughput of 8Gbps full duplex also meets the needs for customers
desiring high bandwidth but are not yet ready to move to 10 Gigabit Ethernet.

Product Features

Four Gigabit Ethernet ports
Supported on ProLiant Gen8 servers in all c-class enclosures, all server mezzanine slots (Mezzanine
slot1 supports 2 ports & Mezzanine slot2 supports 4 ports); multiple cards per server.
Intel® Ethernet I350 controllers
Designed with server needs in mind:

IEEE 802.1p, 802.1Q, 802.3, 802.3ad, and 802.3x
ProLiant Teaming including Network Fault Tolerance, Transmit Load Balancing, and Switch­Assisted Load Balancing

9.5K Jumbo frames
Interrupt/DMA Coalescing
IEEE 1588 (Precision Time Stamping) & 802.1AS (Hardware enabled Time Synchronization)
TCP/IP checksum offload (TCO) and large send offload (LSO)
PXE
Intel® Integrated I/O and Data Direct I/O for increased performance and reduced latency

Virtualization with VMDq
IPv6 packet transmit and receive (excluding all offload capabilities); IPv6 aware SNMPv1 agent for
Windows

Quad-port Gigabit
Ethernet Throughput

Up to 1000 Mbps full duplex Ethernet transfer rate per port (4000 Mbps combined) delivers outstanding
network performance designed to improve response time and remove bottlenecks across the entire
network. Four ports on a single adapter are ideal for high density; I/O slot constrained blade servers,
virtualization and security, applications, server consolidation, and increased network segmentation. The
total aggregate throughput of 8Gbps full duplex also meets the needs for customers desiring high
bandwidth but are not yet ready to move to 10 Gigabit Ethernet.

Jumbo Frames

The 366M support for 9.5K jumbo frames (also known as extended frames) permit a 9.5K byte transmission
unit (MTU), which is approximately six times the size of standard 1500 byte Ethernet frame. The 366M
supports jumbo frames as a way to achieve higher throughput and better CPU utilization. Jumbo frames are
particularly useful for database transfers and tape backups.

802.1Q VLANs with 802.1p
QoS Tagging

IEEE 802.1Q virtual local area network (VLAN) protocol allows each physical port of the 366M 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. IEEE quality of service (QoS) 802.1p tagging
allows the adapter to mark or tag frames with a priority level across a QoS-aware network for improved
traffic flow.

TCP/IP Stateless
Offloading

For overall improved system response, the 366M supports standard TCP/IP offloading techniques
including:

TCP/IP 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.

Interrupt Coalescence

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.

DMA Coalescing

Supports DMA Coalescing, the incoming data packets and interrupts associated with these DMA calls are
intelligently batched to keep the system devices in lower power states.

Intel® Integrated I/O with
Data Direct I/O

New on HP ProLiant Gen8 servers, Intel® Integrated I/O features reduces memory access from I/O on local
socket which speeds up CPU data transfer and accelerates inbound and outbound traffic flows. Together,
Integrated I/O and Data Direct I/O technologies reduce system power, increases I/O performance and
reduced I/O latency.

Optimized for
Virtualization

I/O Virtualization support for VMware NetQueue, Microsoft VMQ and Intel's Virtualization Machine Device
Queues(VMDq) 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 device is capable of SR-IOV, and requires Firmware, Software and OS
support

IEEE1588 & 802.1AS

Support hardware-enabled IEEE 1588, a standard that defines PTP (Precision Time Protocol), a high­precision time protocol for clock synchronization used in measurement and control systems.

HP Sea of Sensors 3D

Support for HP Sea of Sensors 3D Technology which is a collection of 32 sensors that automatically track
thermal activity - heat - across the server. When temperatures get too high, sensors can kick on fans and
make other adjustments to reduce energy usage. What makes it better is the upgrade from all six fans
kicking on at one time to a new system where only one kicks on - the one in proximity of the area that
started heating up - thus reducing the amount of energy used for cooling.

PXE Boot

Support for pre-boot execution environment (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.

High Availability

Quad port

The four ports on the 366M are transmitted to up to four separate enclosure
interconnect bays providing redundant signal paths.

Redundant adapters

With multiple quad port adapters supported per server connected to up to two
redundant pairs of interconnect modules per enclosure, a very wide variety of
high availability I/O configurations are possible.

ProLiant Network Adapter
Teaming

ProLiant Network Adapter Teaming provides fault tolerance and load
balancing across a team of two or more network adapters. The team of
adapters works together as a single virtual adapter. Support for several
different types of teaming is included. Teaming offers IT professionals an
easy, efficient, and cost-effective way to provide network fault tolerance and
increased network bandwidth. For more information, refer to the ProLiant
Network Adapter Teaming Whitepaper available at
