Standard Features
Standard Features
Throughput­Theoretical Bandwidth
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.
802.1Q VLANs
Configuration Utilities
Interrupt Coalescing
Jumbo Frames
LED Indicators
Management Support
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.
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.
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.
This adapter supports Jumbo Frames (also known as extended frames), permitting up to a 9,000 byte (KB) transmission unit (MTU) when running Ethernet I/O traffic. This is over five 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.
PCI Express Interface
Preboot eXecution Environment (PXE)
Server Integration
This adapter is designed with an eight lane (x8) PCI Express bus based on the PCIe 2.0 standard. The adapter is backward compatible with four lane (x4) PCI Express, automatically auto-sensing between x8 and x4 slots.
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.
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. This approach provides a more robust and reliable networking solution than offerings from other vendors and provides users with a single point of contact for both their servers and their network adapters.

Standard Features
Single-Root I/O Virtualization
TCP/UDP/IP
Warranty
Single-Root I/O Virtualization (SR-IOV) provides a mechanism to bypass the host system hypervisor in virtual environments providing near metal performance and server efficiency. SR-IOV provides mechanism to create multiple Virtual Functions (VFs) to share single PCIe resources. The device is capable of SR-IOV, and requires Server BIOS support, controller firmware, and OS support.
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.
Maximum: The remaining warranty of the HPE product in which it is installed (to a maximum three-year, limited warranty). Minimum: One year limited warranty.
