Compatibility

Dual-port 10 Gigabit
Ethernet Throughput
The 20,000 Mbps full duplex Ethernet transfer rate per port (40 Gbps aggregate full duplex) delivers
outstanding network performance that improves response time and removes bottlenecks for the next
generation data center. 10 Gigabit Ethernet bandwidth is ideal for financial services, high performance
computing, database clusters, iSCSI storage, storage backups, grid systems, virtualization, server and I/O
consolidation, fabric consolidation, and more.
PCI Express Interface The HP 571SFP+ Adapter is designed with an eight lane (x8) PCI Express bus based on the PCIe v2.0
standard. The adapter is backward compatible with four lane (x4) PCI Express, automatically auto-sensing
between x8 and x4 slots.
Jumbo Frames The HP 571SFP+ 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 HP 571 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 802.1Q virtual local area network (VLAN) protocol allows each physical port of the HP 571SFP+
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. The HP 571SFP+ Adapter provides support
for 802.1Q (VLAN).
Network Management
Management Support Like all HP ProLiant server adapters, the HP 571 SFP+ adapter ships with agents that can be managed from
HP Systems Insight Manager or other management application that support SNMP.

Server Integration The HP 571SFP+ 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 vendors
and provides users with a single point of contact for both their servers and their network adapters.
Configuration Utilities Each HP 571SFP+ Adapter 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 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.
Preboot eXecution
Environment (PXE)
Support for pre-boot execution environment (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.
Warranty Maximum : The remaining warranty of the HP product in which it is installed (to a maximum three-year,
limited warranty).
Minimum : One year limited warranty.
