HPE Ethernet 10Gb 2-port 561FLR-T Adapter
HPE Ethernet 10Gb 2-port 561FLR-T Adapter
Extended SKU - This adapter is part of an extended catalog of products tailored for customers in specific markets or with specific workloads,
requiring the utmost in performance or value, but typically have a longer lead-time.
The HPE Ethernet 10Gb 2-port 561FLR-T Adapter is a dual-port 10GBASE-T adapter, featuring the 10Gb Intel X540 Controller
in FlexibleLOM form factor designed for HPE ProLiant rack and tower servers. The HPE 561FLR-T Adapter delivers full line-rate
performance across all ports with low power consumption, utilizing CAT 6A UTP (or better) cabling with distances up to 100 meters and
is backward compatible to existing 1000BASE-T infrastructure. Providing high performance Ethernet connectivity, this adapter is ideal
for virtual server and cloud computing environments. It supports enterprise class features (VLAN tagging, adaptive interrupt coalescing,
MSI-X, NIC teaming (bonding), Receive Side Scaling (RSS), jumbo frames, PXE boot) and virtualization features (VMware NetQueue and
Microsoft VMQ).
The adapter's support for HPE Sea of Sensors 3D Technology enhances server performance by reducing energy consumption and
expense.

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 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.
This adapter supports DPDK with benefit for packet processing acceleration and use in NFV deployments.
Support for the HPE Sea of Sensors which is a collection of 32 sensors that automatically track thermal activity heat - across the server. When temperatures get too high, sensors can initiate fans and make other adjustments
to reduce energy usage. A significant improvement lies in the ability to apply fan speed increases only to the

Teaming
IPv6 uses 128-bit addressing allowing for more devices and users on the internet. IPv4 supported 32-bit
addressing.
This adapter supports Jumbo Frames (also known as extended frames), permitting up to a 9,500 byte (KB)
transmission unit (MTU) when running Ethernet I/O traffic. This is over six times the size of a standard 1500byte Ethernet frame. With Jumbo Frames, networks can achieve higher throughput performance and greater
CPU utilization. These attributes are particularly useful for database transfer and tape backup operations.
LED indicators show link integrity and network activity for easy troubleshooting.
This adapter ships with agents that can be managed from HPE Systems Insight Manager or other management
application that support SNMP.
Message Signaled Interrupt (Extended) provides performance benefits for multi-core servers by load balancing
interrupts between CPUs/cores.
This adapter support for NIC teaming helps IT administrators increase network fault tolerance and increased
network bandwidth, the team of adapters can work together as a single virtual adapter, providing support for
several different types of teaming enabling IT administrators to optimize availability, improve performance
and help reduce costs.

Virtualization
Preboot eXecution
Environment (PXE)
Receive Side Scaling
(RSS)
Server Integration
I/O Virtualization support for VMware NetQueue and Microsoft VMQ helps meet the performance demands
of consolidated virtual workloads.
Support for 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.
RSS resolves the single-processor bottleneck by allowing the receive side network load from a network adapter
to be shared across multiple processors. RSS enables packet receive-processing to scale with the number of
available processors.
This adapter is a validated, tested, and qualified solution that is optimized for HPE ProLiant servers. Hewlett
Packard Enterprise validates a wide variety of major operating systems drivers with the full suite of web-based
enterprise management utilities including HPE Intelligent Provisioning and HPE Systems Insight Manager that
simplify network management.

Warranty
For overall improved system response, this adapter supports standard TCP/IP offloading techniques including:
TCP/IP, UDP 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.
Synchronization of system clocks throughout a network, achieving clock accuracy in the sub-microsecond
range, making it suitable for measurement and control systems.
VMware NetQueue is technology that significantly improves performance of 10 Gigabit Ethernet network
adapters in virtualized environments.
Windows Hyper-V VMQ (VMQ) is a feature available on servers running Windows Server 2008 R2 with VMQenabled Ethernet adapters. VMQ uses hardware packet filtering to deliver packet data from an external virtual
machine network directly to virtual machines, which reduces the overhead of routing packets and copying
them from the management operating system to the virtual machine.
