The HP Flex-10 10Gb 2-port 530FLB adapter features the next generation of 10Gb Ethernet offering in a single chip solution on a FlexibleLOM form factor, further reducing power requirements for 2 ports of 10Gb Ethernet. It is designed for use with HP BladeSystem c-Class Gen8 servers. It provides full duplex high performance Ethernet connectivity with support for HP Virtual Connect Flex-10 blade interconnect technology, allowing each 10GbE port to be divided into four physical NICs and optimize bandwidth management for virtualized servers. The HP 530FLB Flex-10 network adapter, in conjunction with HP Virtual Connect Flex-10 technology, helps to extend the benefits of virtualization beyond the server and into the rest of the infrastructure. The HP 530FLB supports enterprise class features such as VLAN tagging, adaptive interrupt coalescing, MSI-X, NIC teaming (bonding), Tunneling Offloads (NVGRE, VxLAN),Receive Side Scaling (RSS), jumbo frames and PXE boot. It also supports virtualization features such as SR-IOV, Network Partitioning (NPAR), VMware NetQueue and Microsoft VMQ.

• The HP 530FLB adapter delivers 20,000 Mbps full duplex Ethernet transfer rate per port (40 Gbps aggregate full duplex), providing the network performance needed to improve response times and alleviate bottlenecks. 10Gb Ethernet bandwidth is ideal for high performance computing, database clusters.

• Evolve 10Gb at your own speed! When paired with the HP Virtual Connect Flex-10 10Gb Ethernet, Modules, take advantage of four Flex Nics, which are PCI Physical Function devices that are OS/ Hypervisor independent.
  Server ROM recognizes them as individual NICs, Speeds can be set per NIC from 100Mb to 10Gbs in 100Mb increments, Three fold increase in number of network connections per port. Up to four physical function NICs per port.
  Ideal for virtualized server environment, especially for dedicated bandwidth application like virtual machine migration from one physical server to another physical server.

• The HP 530FLB 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.
• Single-Root I/O Virtualization (SR-IOV) provides a mechanism to bypass the host 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.
• Supports the Preboot eXecution Environment (PXE) allows the server to boot over the network and download software residing in the network
• Compatible with HP FlexibleLOM slot for c-Class Gen8 blade servers
• The HP 530FLB 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
• The HP 530FLB 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 530FLB adapter can also be managed by other applications with SNMP support.
