The HP NC542m Dual Port Flex-10 10GbE BLc Adapter is the newest member of the c-Class 10Gb adapter portfolio and the most
powerful. Based on the latest version of the Mellanox ConnectX family, the HP NC542m delivers the highest overall throughput and
the lowest latency of all the 10GbE adapters. Perfect for mission critical applications such as financial services and virtualized
environments, the adapter works with all BladeSystem c-Class G6 servers. When paired with the new ProCurve 6120XG Blade
Switch, the combination provides a comprehensive high bandwidth, high performance interface between the server edge and the
network.

Jumbo Frames
Jumbo FramesJumbo Frames
Jumbo Frames
The NC542m support for jumbo frames (also known as extended frames)
permit up to a 9K byte transmission unit (MTU), which is over five times the
size of standard 1500 byte Ethernet frame. The use of jumbo frames is a way
to achieve higher throughput and better CPU utilization. Jumbo frames are
particularly useful for database transfers and tape backups.

IEEE quality of service (QoS) 802.1p tagging allows the adapter to mark or

Offloading
For overall improved system response, the NC542m supports standard
TCP/IP stateless 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), also known as TCP segmentation offload (TSO),
allows TCP segmentation to be handled by the adapter rather than the CPU.
Interrupt Coalescence
Interrupt CoalescenceInterrupt Coalescence
Interrupt Coalescence
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.
