HP NC552SFP 10Gb 2-port Ethernet Server Adapter
Overview
The NC522SFP is an eight lane (x8) PCI Express (PCIe) 10 Gigabit network solution offering the highest bandwidth available in a ProLiant
Ethernet adapter. This dual port PCI Express Gen 2 adapter supports SFP+ (Small Form-factor Pluggable) connectors, requiring either
Direct Attach Cable (DAC) for copper environments, or fiber transceivers supporting SR, LR, or LRM optics plus fiber cables for fiber optic
environments.
The NC522SFP ships with advanced server features that ProLiant customers have come to expect, such as support for TCP checksum and
segmentation (LSO) offload capability, VLAN tagging, jumbo frames, IPv6, and more. Flexible to order and install, the NC522SFP can be
used in either standard or low profile slots.

Performance
Dual-port 10 Gigabit
Ethernet Throughput
The 20,000 Mbps full duplex Ethernet transfer rate per port (40 Gbps aggregate full duplex) delivers
outstanding network performance that improves response time and removes bottlenecks for the next
generation data center. 10 Gigabit Ethernet bandwidth is ideal for high performance computing, database
clusters, iSCSI storage, storage backups, grid systems, virtualization, server and I/O consolidation, fabric
consolidation, and more.
HP NC552SFP 10Gb 2-port Ethernet Server Adapter
PCI Express Interface
Jumbo Frames
TCP Stateless Offloading
Interrupt Coalescing
802.1p QoS Tagging
The NC552SFP is designed with an eight lane (x8) PCI Express bus based on the PCIe v2.0 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 9,000 byte transmission unit (MTU). The
NC552SFP adapter supports 9KB 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 NC552SFP adapter 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 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.
Optimized for
Virtualization
I/O Virtualization support for VMware NetQueue and Microsoft VMQ help meet the performance demands
of consolidated virtual workloads.
Network Management
Management Support
Like all HP ProLiant server adapters, the NC552SFP adapter ships with agents that can be managed from
HP Systems Insight Manager or other management application that support SNMP.

Warranty
The NC552SFP 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 SmartStart 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.
Each NC552SFP 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.
Bracket LED indicators show link integrity and network activity for easy troubleshooting.
Support for pre-boot execution environment (PXE) enables automatic deployment of computing resources
remotely from anywhere. It allows a new or existing server to boot over the network and download
software, including the operating system, from a management/ deployment server at another location on
the network. Additionally, PXE enables decentralized software distribution and remote troubleshooting
and repairs.
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.
