HP FlexFabric 10Gb 2-port 534FLR, FlexFabric 534FLR-SFP+, 700751-B21, 700752-B21 Quickspecs

The HP FlexFabric 10Gb 2-port 534FLR adapter features the next generation of 10Gb Ethernet offering in a single chip solution on a
FlexibleLOM form factor, further reducing power requirements for 2 ports of 10Gb Ethernet. It is designed for use with HP ProLiant
Gen8 servers.

For more effective utilization of the 10GbE bandwidth, the HP 534FLR-SFP+ CNA offers Switch Independent Partitioning which enables
segmentation of each 10GbE port into four virtual ports, with flexible allocation of bandwidth to each port. Allowing IT organizations
to improve resource utilization while lowering infrastructure and operational costs.

The HP 534FLB supports enterprise class features such as VLAN tagging, adaptive interrupt coalescing, MSI-X, NIC teaming (bonding),
Receive Side Scaling (RSS), jumbo frames and PXE boot. It also supports virtualization features such as SR-IOV (Windows), VMware
NetQueue and Microsoft VMQ.

Dual-port 10 Gigabit
Ethernet Throughput

The HP 534SFP+ adapter delivers 20 Gbps full duplex Ethernet transfer rate per port (40 Gbps per adapter),
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 534SFP+ 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
greater 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 534SFP+ 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 534SFP+ Adapter by Broadcom supports MSI and MSI-X.

802.1Q VLANs

IEEE 802.1Q virtual local area network (VLAN) protocol allows each physical port of the HP 534SFP+
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 534SFP+ 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.

Single-Root I/O
Virtualization

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.

Optimized for
Virtualization

I/O Virtualization support for VMware NetQueue and Microsoft VMQ help meet the performance demands
of consolidated virtual workloads.

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 534SFP+ 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 534SFP+ 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 534SFP+ 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 534SFP+ Adapter by Broadcom supports Precision Time Protocol-ready (PTP).

Network Adapter Teaming

The HP 534SFP+ 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 534SFP+ provides support for several different types of teaming enabling IT administrators to optimize
availability, improve performance and help reduce costs.

Network Management

Management Support

The HP 534SFP+ 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 534SFP+
adapter can also be managed by other applications with SNMP support.
