Support for Preboot eXecution Environment (PXE)
Network Partitioning
Dual-port 10 Gigabit
Ethernet Throughput
The HP 533FLR-T adapter delivers 20 Gbps full duplex Ethernet transfer rate per port , 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 more.
Jumbo Frames
The HP 533 FLR-T 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
1500-byte Ethernet frame. With jumbo frames, networks can achieve higher throughput performance and
improve CPU utilization. These attributes are particularly useful for database transfer and tape backup
operations.
TCP/IP Stateless
Offloading
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.
The HP 533 FLR-T Adapter by Broadcom offers TCP/IP stateless offloading capability.
MSI and MSI-X
Message Signaled Interrupt (Extended) provides performance benefits for multi-core servers by load
balancing interrupts between CPUs/cores. The HP 533 FLR-T Adapter by Broadcom supports MSI and MSIX.
802.1Q VLANs
IEEE 802.1Q virtual local area network (VLAN) protocol allows each physical port of the HP 533 FLR-T
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. The HP 530T Adapter by Broadcom provides
support for 802.1Q (VLAN).
TOE
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.

Optimized for
Virtualization
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 HP 530T Adapter by Broadcom is SR-IOV ready, requiring firmware, software and OS support.
Checksum &
Segmentation Offload
Normally the TCP Checksum is computed by the protocol stack. By selecting one of the "Checksum
Offload" parameters, the checksum can be computed by the adapter.
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).
The HP 533 FLR-T Adapter by Broadcom has Checksum and Segmentation Offload capabilities.
IPv6
IPv6 uses 128-bit addressing allowing for more devices and users on the Internet. IPv4 supported 32-bit
addressing. The HP 533 FLR-T Adapter by Broadcom supports IPv6.
Receive Side Scaling (RSS)
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.
The HP 533 FLR-T Adapter by Broadcom has RSS capabilities.
Time synchronization
implementations (PTP)
Synchronization of system clocks throughout a network, achieving clock accuracy in the sub-microsecond
range, making it suitable for measurement and control systems.
The HP 533 FLR-T Adapter by Broadcom supports Precision Time Protocol-ready (PTP).
Network Adapter Teaming
The HP 533 FLR-T 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. The HP 530T provides support for several different types of teaming enabling IT administrators to
optimize availability, improve performance and help reduce costs.
Network Partitioning
The HP 533FLR-T supports NIC partitioning for ProLiant Gen8 rack servers. Allowing administrators to
configure a 10Gb port as four separate partitions or physical functions. Each PCI function is associated with
a different virtual NIC. To the OS and the network, each physical function appears as a separate NIC port.
Network Management
Management Support
The HP 533 FLR-T adapter can be administered from HP Systems Insight Manager (SIM). The adapters can
be managed individually or in teams, providing SNMP based statistics for reporting purposes. The HP 533
FLR-T adapter can also be managed by other applications with SNMP support.

Server Integration
The HP 533 FLR-T adapter is a validated, tested, and qualified solution that is optimized for HP ProLiant
servers. HP validates a wide variety of major operating systems drivers with the full suite of web-based
enterprise management utilities including HP Intelligent Provisioning and HP Systems Insight Manager that
simplify network management.
This approach provides a more robust and reliable networking solution than offerings from other venders
and provides users with a single point of contact for both their servers and their network adapters.
Configuration Utilities
Each HP 533 FLR-T 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.
LED Indicators
The colored LEDs on each port of the HP 533 FLR-T adapter indicate link status and link activity.
Preboot eXecution
Environment (PXE)
PXE allows the server to boot over the network and download software residing in the network.
HP Sea of Sensors 3D
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.
VMware NetQueue and
Microsoft Virtual Machine
Queue (VMQ)
VMware NetQueue is technology that significantly improves performance of 10 Gigabit Ethernet network
adapters in virtualized environments.
Microsoft Virtual Machine Queue (VMQ) is a feature available on servers running Windows Server 2008 R2
with VMQ-enabled Ethernet adapters. VMQ uses hardware packet filtering to deliver packet data from an
external virtual machine network directly to virtual machines, which reduces the overhead of routing
packets and copying them from the management operating system to the virtual machine.
The HP 530T supports VMware NetQueue and Microsoft Virtual Machine Queue.
Warranty
Maximum: The remaining warranty of the HP product in which it is installed (to a maximum three-year,
limited warranty).
Minimum: One year limited warranty.
