HPE FlexFabric 629142-B21 10GbE 2-Port 554FLR-SFP+ Adapter for G8

HPE FlexFabric 629142-B21 10Gbps Ethernet Dual-Port PCI Express-2.0 x8 FlexibleLOM 554FLR-SFP+ Network Adapter for ProLiant Generation8 Servers (New Bulk Pack with 90 Days Warranty)

Preboot eXecution Environment (PXE)
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.

The HPE FlexFabric 629142-B21 10Gb Ethernet dual-port 554FLR-SFP+ Adapter provides Ethernet functionality or Ethernet and iSCSI or Fibre Channel Over Ethernet (FCoE) or FlexFabric connectivity in a FlexibleLOM form factor designed for select HPE ProLiant Gen8 rack servers. It reduces operating costs by reducing the number of adapters and cables needed. It also optimizes network and storage traffic with hardware acceleration and offloads for stateless TCP/IP, TCP Offload Engine (TOE), and Fibre Channel. This HPE FlexFabric 10GbE dual-port 554FLR-SFP+ Network Adapter has 90 Days Warranty.

Features

PCI Express Interface
The HPE 554FLR-SFP+ 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.

Jumbo Frames
Jumbo frames (also known as extended frames) permit a 9,000 byte transmission unit (MTU). The HPE 554FLR-SFP+ 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.

Hardware iSCSI or FCoE with Full Offload
The 554FLR-SFP+ is the only network option for HPE Gen8 rack servers that supports hardware FCoE or iSCSI with full protocol offload.

TCP/IP Stateless Offload
For overall improved system response, the HPE 554FLR-SFP+ 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 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.

802.1p QoS Tagging
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.

iSCSI
The HPE 554FLR-SFP+ adapter supports accelerated iSCSI and iSCSI INT 13 Boot

Network Management Support
Like all HPE ProLiant server adapters, the HPE 554FLR-SFP+ adapter ships with agents that can be managed from HPE Systems Insight Manager or other management application that support SNMP.

Server Integration
The HPE 554FLR-SFP+ adapter is a validated, tested, and qualified solution that is optimized for HPE ProLiant servers. HPE 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 venders and provides users with a single point of contact for both their servers and their network adapters.

Configuration Utilities
Each HPE 554FLR-SFP+ 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.

LED Indicators
Bracket LED indicators show link integrity and network activity for easy troubleshooting.
