The 10,000 Mbps Ethernet transfer rate delivers outstanding network performance that improves
response time and removes bottlenecks required for the next generation datacenter. Ten Gigabit Ethernet
bandwidth is ideal for high performance computing, database clusters, network attached storage,
storage backups, grid systems, virtualization, server and I/O consolidation, fabric consolidation, and
more.

TCP/IP Offload Engine (TOE) moves the processing of data in the TCP protocol stack from the server
CPU to the network card, freeing CPU cycles for other duties. With TOE, network communications are
improved, and server efficiency is increased. The TOE multifunction feature is planned for future, near­term release available for both Windows and Linux.

Internet Small Computer System Interface (iSCSI) allows the NC510F to multi-function both as a network
adapter and as a storage host bus adapter, thereby providing access to storage boxes and to servers
over a single connection. Accelerated iSCSI offloads the iSCSI software to the hardware for improved
system performance. The accelerated iSCSI multifunction feature is planned for future, near-term release.

Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA) is a low-latency protocol providing improved throughput scaling
and message latency between two RDMA-capable systems. RDMA allows data from the memory of one
computer to communicate directly with the memory of another minimizing CPU and memory overhead.
The RDMA multifunction feature is planned for future, near-term release.

HP was an early champion of PCI Express bus technology and has played a key role in the development
and industry adoption of the PCI Express specification. The NC510F is designed with an eight lane (x8)
PCI Express bus based on the PCIe v1.1 standard. The adapter is backward compatible with four lane
(x4) PCI Express automatically auto-sensing between x8 and x4 slots.

Jumbo frames (also known as extended frames) permit a 8,000 byte transmission unit (MTU), which is
five times the size of standard 1500 byte Ethernet frame. The NC510F 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.

For overall improved system response, the NC510F 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 Coalescing

Interrupt Coalescing

Interrupt CoalescingInterrupt Coalescing

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.

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.

Like all HP ProLiant server adapters, the NC510F ships with agents that can be managed from HP
Systems Insight Manager or other management application that support SNMP.

The NC510F is a completely integrated, tested, and qualified solution that is optimized for HP ProLiant
servers. 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.

Bracket LED indicators show link integrity and network activity for easy troubleshooting.
