Up to 40 Gb/s bi-directional near-line rate throughput
No firmware updates required - less management and downtime
Low profile design shipping with standard height and low-profile brackets.
On chip temperature monitor
Integrated PHY and MAC
Intel® 82599 controller offers TCP/IP stateless intelligent offloading capability.
Support for Preboot eXecution Environment (PXE)
Supports SR-IOV (requires server FW, SW and OS support)
Standard NC series option kit warranty, support, services
Standard server operating system support
Field replaceable and upgradeable.
PXE, Jumbo Frames, Checksum and Segmentation Offload, IPv6 and RSS
IEEE 1588 (Time Synchronization)

Throughput- This adapter delivers 20 Gb/s bi-directional Ethernet transfer rate per port (40 Gb/s
Theoretical per adapter), providing the network performance needed to improve response times
Bandwidth and alleviate bottlenecks.

802.1Q VLANs 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.

Checksum & Normally the TCP Checksum is computed by the protocol stack. Segmentation
Segmentation Offload is technique for increasing outbound throughput of high-bandwidth network
Offload connections by reducing CPU overhead. The technique is also called TCP
segmentation offload (TSO) when applied to TCP, or generic segmentation offload
(GSO).

Configuration This adapter ships with a suite of operating system-tailored configuration utilities that
Utilities 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.

DPDK This adapter supports DPDK with benefit for packet processing acceleration and use
in NFV deployments.

Standard Features

HPE Sea Of Sensors Support for the HPE Sea of Sensors which is a collection of 32 sensors that
3D 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 portion of the system that is rising in temperature, rather than all six fans in
unison, which reduces the amount of energy used for cooling.

IPv6 IPv6 uses 128-bit addressing allowing for more devices and users on the internet.
IPv4 supported 32-bit addressing.

Jumbo Frames 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 1500-byte 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 LED indicators show link integrity and network activity for easy troubleshooting.

Management This adapter ships with agents that can be managed from HPE Systems Insight
Support Manager or other management application that support SNMP.

Message Signaled Message Signaled Interrupt (Extended) provides performance benefits for multi-core
Interrupt (Extended) servers by load balancing interrupts between CPUs/cores.
(MSI-X)

Network Adapter This adapter support for NIC teaming helps IT administrators increase network fault
Teaming 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.

Optimized for I/O Virtualization support for VMware NetQueue and Microsoft VMQ helps meet the
Virtualization performance demands of consolidated virtual workloads.

PCI Express This adapter is designed with an eight lane (x8) PCI Express bus based on the PCIe
Interface 2.0 standard. The adapter is backward compatible with four lane (x4) PCI Express,
automatically auto-sensing between x8 and x4 slots.

Standard Features

Preboot eXecution Support for PXE enables automatic deployment of computing resources remotely
Environment (PXE) 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.

Receive Side RSS resolves the single-processor bottleneck by allowing the receive side network
Scaling (RSS) load from a network adapter to be shared across multiple processors. RSS enables
packet receive-processing to scale with the number of available processors.

Server Integration 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.

Single-Root I/O Single-Root I/O Virtualization (SR-IOV) provides a mechanism to bypass the host
Virtualization 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.

TCP/UDP/IP 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.

Precision Time Synchronization of system clocks throughout a network, achieving clock accuracy in
Protocol (IEEE 1588 the sub-microsecond range, making it suitable for measurement and control systems.
PTP)

VMware NewQueue VMware NetQueue is technology that significantly improves performance of 10

and Microsoft Gigabit Ethernet network adapters in virtualized environments.
Virtual Machine Windows Hyper-V VMQ (VMQ) is a feature available on servers running Windows
Queue (VMQ) Server 2008 R2 with VMQ-enabled 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.
