HPE FlexFabric 10Gb 2-port 534FLR-SFP+ Adapter

Recommended SKU - This adapter is a recommended option that has been selected by HPE experts to provide the right technology for a range of workloads and market segments offering the best combination of performance, value and availability. The HPE FlexFabric 10Gb 2-port 534FLR-SFP+ adapter is a fully featured Ethernet NIC that also support iSCSI and FCoE storage offloads if required. This adapter features the next generation of 10 Gb Ethernet offering in a single chip solution on a FlexibleLOM form factor, further reducing power requirements for 2 ports of 10 Gb Ethernet. It is designed for use with HPE ProLiant servers. For more effective utilization of the 10GbE bandwidth, the HPE 534FLR-SFP+ Adapter offers Switch Independent Network Partitioning (NPAR) 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 HPE 534FLR-SFP+ supports enterprise class features such as VLAN tagging, adaptive interrupt coalescing, MSI-X, NIC teaming (bonding), Tunnel offloads (NVGRE, VXLAN), TCP/Ip Stateless Offloads, Receive Side Scaling (RSS), jumbo frames and PXE boot. It also supports virtualization features such as SR-IOVVMware NetQueue and Microsoft VMQ.

Standard Features

At a Glance Features

• Industry-leading throughput and latency performance

• Up to 40 Gb/s bi-directional near-line rate throughput

• Hardware acceleration and offloads for stateless TCP/IP, TCP Offload Engine (TOE)

• Improved small packet performance

• Tunnel offload support (NVGRE, VxLAN)

• Low profile design shipping with standard height and low-profile brackets

• Optimized for virtual server environments with support for Network Partitioning (NPAR) and Single-Root I/O Virtualization (SR-IOV).

• Active Health Systems support via FW (OCBB), I2C capable

• PXE, Jumbo Frames, Checksum and Segmentation Offload, IPv6 and RSS

• On chip temperature monitor

• Standard server operating system support

• Standard NC series option kit warranty, support, services

• Field replaceable and upgradeable.

• Support for Preboot eXecution Environment (PXE)

• iSCSI Acceleration and iSCSI Boot

• Integrated PHY and MAC

• IEEE 1588 (Time Synchronization)

• * Storage personality must be disabled on NIC intended for DPDK workload. DPDK and Storage modes cannot be used concurrently on current generation CNA NICs. HPE Recommends using 2 separate NICS for Storage (Control Plane), and DPDK (Data Plane) workloads for the optimal high availability configuration.

Converged Network Utility (CNU)

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 supports Converged Network Utility (CNU) a manageability application to configure converged network adapters (CNAs) and Ethernet adapters on HPE servers. This host based utility supports for both GUI and Command Line Interface (scriptable), and can be used to configure Ethernet, FCoE, iSCSI and NPAR related features/functionality on multiple OS platforms including Windows and Linux. CNU is able to configure
