HPE 656594-001 Ethernet 10Gb 2-Port 530T Adapter
Overview
The HPE 656594-001 is a dual-port 10GBASE-T network adapter designed to provide high-performance connectivity for HPE ProLiant Gen8, Gen9, and Gen10 servers. This PCIe 2.0 compliant card addresses network bottlenecks in demanding enterprise data centers, virtualized environments, and cloud computing deployments. It delivers the necessary bandwidth for I/O-intensive applications by providing a total aggregate throughput of 40 Gb/s full-duplex. Featuring the Broadcom BCM57810S processor, this adapter enhances server performance by offloading TCP/IP processing, which frees up CPU cycles for primary applications. It supports advanced features like VLAN tagging, Receive Side Scaling (RSS), jumbo frames, and MSI-X to optimize network traffic and improve overall efficiency. These capabilities ensure reliable, line-rate performance across both ports with low power consumption. Designed as a plug-in card for a PCI Express 2.0 x8 slot, the 530T adapter is straightforward to deploy within compatible rack and tower servers. It utilizes standard CAT 6A UTP cabling for connections up to 100 meters, making it compatible with existing 1GbE infrastructure for a seamless upgrade path. Management is integrated within the server’s existing tools, simplifying administration within complex IT environments.
