HP 332T User manual

The HP 332T is a dual-port, low-cost, low profile 1Gb adapter featuring the BCM5720 Broadcom single-chip solution in a PCIe 2.0
compliant form factor designed for select HP ProLiant Gen8 and Gen7 ML/DL/SL servers.
It delivers full line-rate performance across all ports with low power consumption, providing Ethernet connectivity ideal for
virtualization, security, server consolidation, and network segmentation.
Supported advanced features include Large Send and Receive offload capability, TCP checksum and segmentation, VLAN tagging, MSI-
X, jumbo frames, IEEE 1588 (Precision Time Protocol - PTP), and virtualization features such as VMware NetQueue and Microsoft
Virtual Machine Queue (VMQ).
Support for HP Sea of Sensors 3D Technology enhances server performance while reducing energy use and expense.

Product Features Industry-leading hardware integration for low power
Dual-port, PCI Express 2.0 1Gb Ethernet adapter for HP ProLiant Generation 8 Rack and Tower
servers and select HP ProLiant G7 Rack servers
Dual-port 1GbE provide up to 4 Gb full duplex aggregate throughput per adapter
Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) support
Optimized for virtual servers
Improved small packet performance
Supports the Preboot eXecution Environment (PXE)
IEEE 1588, IEEE 802.1as (hardware assisted)
Dual-port 1 Gigabit
Ethernet Throughput
The HP 332T adapter provides 1,000 Mbps Ethernet transfer rate per port (4 Gbps aggregate full duplex)
delivers outstanding network performance that improves response time and removes bottlenecks. The
adapter is an ideal solution for server virtualization and security initiatives or where network segmentation
is required. The total aggregate throughput of 4Gbps in full-duplex mode also meets the needs for
customers desiring high bandwidth but are not yet ready to move to 10 Gigabit Ethernet.
NOTE: The port enumeration on the 332T is from the top down, i.e. the port near the top of the adapter is
port #0 followed by port #1
Jumbo Frames The HP 332T adapter supports jumbo frames (also known as extended frames), permitting up to a 9K byte
(KB) transmission unit (MTU) when running Ethernet I/O traffic. This is over 5X 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.
TCP/IP Stateless
Offloading
For overall improved system response, the 332T supports standard TCP/IP offloading techniques
including:
TCP/IP and UDP checksum offload 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.
MSI and MSI-X Up to 17 Message Signaled Interrupt (Extended) provides performance benefits for multi-core servers by
load balancing interrupts between CPUs/cores.
The HP 332T Adapter by Broadcom supports MSI and MSI-X
802.1Q VLANs IEEE 802.1Q virtual local area network (VLAN) protocol allows each physical port of the HP 332T 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.
Time synchronization Hardware assist for IEEE 1588 and IEEE 802.1AS time synchronization implementations for time sensitive
applications. The HP 332T Adapter by Broadcom supports Precision Time Protocol (PTP).

Optimized for
Virtualization
I/O Virtualization support for VMware NetQueue and Microsoft VMQ help meet the performance demands
of consolidated virtual workloads.
Network Adapter Teaming The HP 332T 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. The HP
332T provides support for several different types of teaming enabling IT administrators to optimize
availability, improve performance and help reduce costs
Versatility
10/100/1000T Twisted
Pair Networks
In addition to Gigabit Ethernet, the 332T adapter supports both 10Mbps and 100Mbps providing
compatibility with Ethernet and Fast Ethernet twisted pair networks.
Full and Half Height
Brackets
The HP332T adapter ships with a pre-installed full height bracket and a half height bracket is also supplied
to ensure trouble free installation. The included quick install card guides the user in the bracket exchange
process.
x1/x4/x8/x16 PCI Express
Compatibility
The x1 PCI Express interface on the HP 332T is compatible with x1, x4, x8, and x16 PCI slots. If installed in a
x4, x8 or x16 slot, the adapter will operate at the x1 speed.
High Availability
Network Adapter Teaming ProLiant Network Adapter Teaming provides fault tolerance and load balancing across a team of two or
more network adapters. The team of adapters works together as a single virtual adapter. The HP 332T
provides support for several different types of teaming enabling IT administrators to optimize availability,
improve performance and help reduce costs.
The teaming options offer IT professionals an easy, efficient, and cost-effective way to provide network
fault tolerance and increased network bandwidth. For more information, refer to the ProLiant Network
Adapter Teaming Whitepaper available at:
http://bizsupport.austin.hp.com/bc/docs/support/SupportManual/c01415139/c01415139.pdf
Network Management
Management Support The HP 332T adapter can be administered from HP Systems Insight Manager (SIM). The adapters can be
managed individually or in teams, providing SNMP based statistics for reporting purposes. The HP 332T
adapter can also be managed by other applications with SNMP support.
Server Integration The HP 332T adapter is a validated, tested, and qualified solution that is optimized for HP ProLiant servers.
HP validates a wide variety of major operating systems drivers with the full suite of web-based enterprise
management utilities including HP Intelligent Provisioning and HP 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.
