HPE 630M FlexFabric 20GbE Dual Port Mezz Adapter (701528-001) | 700076-B21

Adapter Specs

• Port Type: Dual Port
• Data Transfer Speed: 20Gb
• Protocol: Ethernet

The HPE FlexFabric 630M is a 2-port 20GbE Mezzanine adapter, featuring the first generation of 20Gb Ethernet offering in a single chip solution on a mezzanine form factor that further reduces power requirements for 2 ports of 20Gb Ethernet. It is designed for use with HPE BladeSystem c-Class blade server platforms’ type A and Type B mezzanine slots.

• This adapter requires a minimum of 2GB of server memory.
• This adapter supports linking at 10Gbps when not connected to a Flex-20 device.

It provides full duplex high performance Ethernet connectivity with support for HPE Virtual Connect Flex-20 blade interconnect technology, allowing each 20GbE port to be divided into four physical NICs and optimize bandwidth management for virtualized servers. The HPE FlexFabric 630M adapter, in conjunction with HPE Virtual Connect FlexFabric technology, helps to extend the benefits of virtualization beyond the server and into the rest of the infrastructure.

The HPE 630M supports enterprise class features such as VLAN tagging, adaptive interrupt coalescing, MSI-X, NIC teaming (bonding), Tunnel Offload (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.

Throughput Theoretical Bandwidth This adapter delivers 40 Gbps bi-directional Ethernet transfer rate per port (80 Gbps per adapter), providing the network performance needed to improve response times and alleviate bottlenecks.

iSCSI/FCoE This adapter supports accelerated iSCSI or iSCSI boot and FCoE.

TCP/UDP/IP For overall improved system response, this adapter supports standard TCP/IP offloading techniques including: TCP/IP, UDP 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.
