NOTE:
The NC552m network adapter card is required for each server blade connecting to a 10Gb interconnect in
bays 3-8 (HP BladeSystem c7000 Enclosure) or bays 2-4 (HP BladeSystem c3000 Enclosure)
NOTE:
The NC552m requires a minimum of 2 GB of server memory.
NOTE:
The NC552m supports linking at 1000Mbps or 10000Mbps when not connected to a Flex-10 device. The
NC552m will only support 1000Mbps when connected to a 1Gb Ethernet interconnect.

Ethernet Throughput
HP Virtual Connect Flex10 10Gb Ethernet Module
for the c-Class
BladeSystem
The NC552m 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
required for the next generation data center.
Evolve 10Gb at your own speed! When paired with the HP Virtual Connect Flex-10 10Gb Ethernet
Modules, take advantage of the Flex Nics, which are PCI Physical Function devices that are OS
independent.
Server ROM recognizes them as individual NICs
Speeds can be set per NIC from 100Mb to 10Gbs in 100Mb increments
Three fold increase in number of network connections per port.
Up to four physical function NICs per port
HP NC552m 10Gb 2-port Flex-10 Ethernet Adapter
Industry-leading throughput and latency performance
Supported on all G6 and Integrity i2 c-Class servers, in mezzanine slots1, 2 or 3 (full height servers)
or slots 1 and 2 (half height servers).
Type I Adapter
IEEE 802.1p QoS 802.3x flow control, and 802.3ap 10GBase-KR
9K Jumbo frames
Dual 10Gb ports provide up to 40Gb full duplex per adapter
Supports VMware NetQueue and Microsoft Virtual Machine Queue (VMQ)
Supports HP's exclusive Flex-10* technology that allows you to set any bandwidth from 100Mb to
10Gb on up to four "Physical Function" NICs per port when combined with the 10Gb Flex-10 Virtual
Connect module
Jumbo Frames
802.1p QoS Tagging
TCP/IP Stateless
Offloading
The NC552m 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 tag frames with a priority level
across a QoS-aware network for improved traffic flow.
For overall improved system response, the NC552m 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.

Standard Features
802.1Q VLANs
TOE

iSCSI
Warranty
IEEE 802.1Q virtual local area network (VLAN) protocol allows each physical port of the NC552m 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.
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.
NOTE:
Not Supported
The NC552m does not support accelerated iSCSI or iSCSI boot.
HP branded hardware options qualified for BladeSystem c-Class and p-Class servers are covered by a
global limited warranty and supported by HP Services and a worldwide network of HP Authorized Channel
Partners. The HP branded hardware option diagnostic support and repair is available for one year from
date of purchase, or the length of the server they are attached to, whichever is greater. Support for
software and initial setup is available for 90 days from date of purchase. Additional support may be
covered under the warranty or available for an additional fee. Enhancements to warranty services are
available through HP Care Pack services or customized service agreements.
