HPE Ethernet 10Gb 2-port 570M Adapter
The HPE 570FLR-SFP dual-port 10Gb Ethernet SFP+ Onload server adapter is based on the Solarflare next generation 10GbE
controller, Solarflare™ SFC9120, and delivers unmatched message rates with low latency and jitter over standard Ethernet along with
the lowest CPU utilization and power consumption, enabling the industry's best performance and scalability for financial serv
ices and
other enterprise data centers.The HPE 570M supports high performance networking features such as VLAN tagging, low latency
interrupts, TCP and UDP checksum offloading, MSI-X, NIC teaming (bonding), Receive Side Scaling (RSS), jumbo frames, and PXE
boot.

Dual-
port 10 Gigabit
Ethernet
Throughput
(theoretical
bandwidth)
The 20 Gbps full duplex Ethernet transfer rate per port (40 Gbps aggregate full duplex) delivers outstanding
network performance that improves response time and removes bottlenecks.
Jumbo Frames The HPE 570M adapter supports jumbo frames (also known as extended frames) with a maximum
transmission unit (MTU) of up to 9.5K bytes when running Ethernet and/or, which is over five times the size
of standard 1500-byte Ethernet frame. Jumbo frames can help achieve higher throughput and better CPU
utilization. Jumbo frames are particularly useful for database transfers.
MSI and MSI-X Message Signaled Interrupt (Extended) provides performance benefits for multi-core servers by load
balancing interrupts between CPUs/cores
Interrupt
Coalescence
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.
802.1Q VLANs The HPE 570M adapter supports the IEEE 802.1Q virtual local area network (VLAN) protocol that allows each
physical port to be assigned to a VLAN 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.
TCP/IP Stateless
Offloading
For overall improved system response, the HPE 560M adapter supports standard TCP/IP stateless offloading
techniques including:
•TCP/IP checksum offload (TCO) moves the TCP and IP checksum offloading from the CPU to the

port 570M Adapter
Standard Features
Page 5
network adapter.
•Large send offload (LSO), also known as TCP segmentation offload (TSO), allows TCP segmentation
to be handled by the adapter rather than the CPU.
Optimized for
Virtualization
Intel Virtualization Technology for Connectivity (VT-c) with VMDq and SR-IOV provides I/O Virtualization
support for VMware NetQueue, Microsoft VMQ to help meet the performance demands of consolidated
virtual workloads.
Compliant with Single-Root I/O Virtualization (SR-IOV), accommodating multiple Virtual Machines (VMs) to
share single PCIe resources. The device is capable of SR-IOV, and requires Software and OS support.
IEEE 1588 & 802.1AS
Support hardware-enabled IEEE 1588, a standard that defines PTP (Precision Time Protocol), a high-
precision
time protocol for clock synchronization used in measurement and control systems.
PXE Boot Support
Supports the Preboot eXecution Environment (PXE) allows the server to boot over the network and
download software residing in the network.
Network Adapter
Teaming
The HPE 560M adapter support for NIC teaming helps IT administrators increase network fault tolerance and
improve workload balance. These capabilities optimize availability, improve performance and help reduce
costs.
Management
Support
The HPE 570M adapter can be administered from HPE Systems Insight Manager (SIM). The adapters can be
managed individually or in teams, providing SNMP based statistics for reporting purposes. The 560M adapter
can also be managed by other applications with SNMP support.
HPE Sea of Sensors
3D
Support for HPE's Sea of Sensors which is a collection of 32 sensors that automatically track thermal activity -
heat - across the server. When temperatures get too high, sensors can kick on fans and make other
adjustments to reduce energy usage. What makes it better is the upgrade from all six fans kicking on at one
time to a new system where only one kicks on - the one in proximity of the area that started heating up - thus
reducing the amount of energy used for cooling.
HPE Active Health
System
Supports HPE Active Health System monitors and records changes in the server hardware and configuration
enabling customers to have accurate information that will assist in diagnosing problems and delivering rapid
resolution when server failures occur.
RDMA
The HPE 570M does not support RDMA
iSCSI The HPE 570M does not support iSCSI
