HPE FlexFabric 10Gb 2-port 533FLR-T Adapter

Description

Overview

The HPE FlexFabric 10Gb 2-Port 533FLR-T Adapter is a high-performance network adapter designed for modern HPE ProLiant servers. This dual-port FlexibleLOM (LAN on Motherboard) card supports full 10 Gb/s copper connectivity using 10GBASE-T RJ-45 ports, making it ideal for data-center workloads that require high throughput and low latency. With the Broadcom BCM57810S chipset, the adapter delivers line-rate 10 GbE performance with advanced offloading capabilities to reduce CPU load.

Designed with virtualization in mind, it supports Single Root I/O Virtualization (SR-IOV) and Network Partitioning (NPAR), allowing multiple virtual machines to share a single physical adapter efficiently. It also includes hardware accelerations such as TCP/UDP checksum offload, large send offload (LSO), and TCP Offload Engine (TOE), making it well-suited for storage traffic like FCoE or iSCSI.

Key Features

• High-Speed Dual-Port 10GBASE-T Connectivity: It delivers dual ports of 10 GbE connectivity over cost-effective copper cabling (supporting up to 100 meters using CAT 6A) with an aggregate bi-directional bandwidth of 40 Gb/s.

• Converged Network Support (CNA): It provides multi-function performance supporting standard Ethernet NIC traffic alongside accelerated iSCSI, FCoE (Fiber Channel over Ethernet), and flexible virtualization features.

• Network Partitioning (NPAR): It allows administrators to split each physical 10GbE port into multiple virtual ports or partitions to flexibly allocate bandwidth and optimize resources for virtualized environments.
