HP Flex-10 10Gb 2-port 530M Adapter
Overview
The HP 530M is a 2-port 10GbE Mezzanine adapter, featuring the next generation of 10Gb Ethernet offering in a single chip solution on
a mezzanine form factor that further reduces power requirements for 2 ports of 10Gb Ethernet. It is designed for use with HP
BladeSystem c-Class Gen8 blade server platform's type A and Type B mezzanine slots.
It provides full duplex high performance Ethernet connectivity with support for HP Virtual Connect Flex-10 blade interconnect
technology, allowing each 10GbE port to be divided into four physical NICs and optimize bandwidth management for virtualized
servers. The HP Flex-10 530M adapter, in conjunction with HP Virtual Connect Flex-10 technology, helps to extend the benefits of
virtualization beyond the server and into the rest of the infrastructure.
The HP 530M supports enterprise class features such as VLAN tagging, adaptive interrupt coalescing, MSI-X, NIC teaming (bonding),
Receive Side Scaling (RSS), jumbo frames, PXE boot and virtualization features such as VMware NetQueue and Microsoft VMQ.

NOTE:
The HP 530M requires a minimum of 2 GB of server memory.
NOTE:
The HP 530M supports linking at 1000Mbps or 10000Mbps when not connected to a Flex-10 device. The HP
530M will only support 1000Mbps when connected to a 1Gb Ethernet interconnect.

Product Features
HP Flex-10 10Gb 2-port 530M Adapter
Dual-port Flex-10 10GbE Type A adapter for HP BladeSystem c-Class Gen8 blade servers
Industry-leading throughput and latency performance
The HP 530M is a Type A mezzanine adapter (works in Type A and Type B mezzanine slots)
Supports HP's Flex-10 blade interconnect technology
User configurable bandwidth settings when combined with the 10Gb Flex-10 Virtual Connect
module. From 100Mb/s to10Gb/s on up to four "Physical Function" NICs per port, in increments of
100Mb/s for NIC. The combined bandwidth of NICs cannot exceed port bandwidth i.e. 10 Gb.
Up to 40Gb/s bi-directional near line rate throughput
Hardware acceleration and offloads for stateless TCP/IP, TCP Offload Engine (TOE)
Improved small packet performance
Integrated PHY and MAC
Support for Preboot eXecution Environment (PXE)

for the c-Class
BladeSystem
Jumbo Frames
MSI and MSI-X
The HP 530M adapter delivers 20,000 Mbps full duplex Ethernet transfer rate per port (40 Gbps aggregate
full duplex), providing the network performance needed to improve response times and alleviate
bottlenecks that impact performance of next generation data centers. 10Gb Ethernet bandwidth is ideal for
high performance computing, database clusters and virtualization.
Evolve 10Gb at your own speed! When paired with the HP Virtual Connect Flex-10 10Gb Ethernet
Modules, take advantage of four Flex Nics, which are PCI Physical Function devices that are OS/ Hypervisor
independent.
Server ROM recognizes them as individual NICs
Speeds can be set per NIC from 100Mb to 10Gbs in 100Mb increments
Three fold increase in number of network connections per port.
Up to four physical function NICs per port.
Ideal for virtualized server environment, especially for dedicated bandwidth application like virtual
machine migration from one physical server to another physical server.
The HP 530M adapter supports jumbo frames (also known as extended frames), permitting up to a 9K byte
(KB) transmission unit (MTU) when running Ethernet I/O traffic. This is over 5X 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.
Message Signaled Interrupt (Extended) provides performance benefits for multi-core servers by load
balancing interrupts between CPUs/cores.
802.1p QoS Tagging
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.

Optimized for
Virtualization
HP Sea of Sensors 3D
IEEE 802.1Q virtual local area network (VLAN) protocol allows each physical port of the HP 530M 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.
TCP, IP, UDP checksum offload, Large Send Offload (LSO), TCP, Segmentation Offload (TSO). These
features optimize host efficiency, leaving the CPU available for other duties.
TCP/IP Offload Engine (TOE) shifts the processing of data in the TCP protocol stack from the server CPU to
the adapter's processor, freeing server CPU cycles for other operations.
I/O Virtualization support for VMware NetQueue and Microsoft VMQ 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
Support for HP's 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 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.

Network Adapter Teaming
The HP 530M adapter supports the Preboot eXecution Environment (PXE) allows the server to boot over
the network and download software residing in the network.
The HP 530M adapter is compatible with Type A and B mezzanine slots for greater deployment versatility
The HP 530M adapter support for NIC teaming helps IT administrators increase network fault tolerance and
improve workload balance. These capabilities optimize availability, improve performance and help reduce
costs.
