HPEP24754-001

InfiniBand HDR100 /100 Gb 1-Port QSFP56 Gigabit Ethernet Adapter

The HPEP24754-001 is a high-speed network adapter offering a single QSFP56 port capable of supporting both InfiniBand HDR100 (100 Gb/s) and Ethernet 100 Gb/s over one physical interface. It utilizes PCIe 4.0 x16 bus and the Mellanox ConnectX-6 chipset, delivering ultra-low latency and high throughput suitable for HPC clusters, storage fabric interconnects, and database servers. Ideal for IT professionals and data center engineers, this versatile adapter consolidates network and storage traffic, simplifies cabling, and enables RDMA over Converged Ethernet (RoCE), while preserving flexibility in mixed environments.

Features

Built for HPEProLiant Gen10/Gen10+ and Gen11 servers (e.g., DL360, DL380, DL365, DL385), the P24754-001 is a low-profile PCIe 4.0 x16 plug-in card incorporating the high-performance Mellanox ConnectX-6 controller. The single QSFP56 port delivers either 100 Gb/s Ethernet (100GBASE-SR4) or InfiniBand HDR100 depending on the protocol negotiated. With support for RoCE, FDR/QDR Link speeds, and advanced RDMA capabilities, it enables high-efficiency data transfer with minimal CPU overhead×ideal for distributed compute clusters, virtualized storage systems, and latency-sensitive workloads Compatible with PCIe 1-4 host interfaces, the card consumes approximately 15.6 W under typical loads and features a low-profile bracket ideal for rack-dense servers and blade enclosures.

Advanced Options

Firmware and driver support via HPEand Mellanox ensure seamless integration with industry-standard networking stacks including RDMA, TCP/IP, UDP/IP, iSCSI, and InfiniBand XRC/DCT transport protocols . Comprehensive offload features such as LSO, LRO, RSS, MSI-X, jumbo frames, QoS, and PXE boot are supported, ensuring high throughput and low latency across diverse workloads OEM validation for HPEProLiant Gen10/Gen11 platforms ensures firmware integrity and driver compatibility, and HPE-backed support guarantees reliable updates and long-term lifecycle management. The card includes comprehensive offload support×such as Jumbo Frames, VLAN tagging, PXE boot, and advanced interrupts×for consistent high performance in virtualization and clustered deployments
