Detailed Specifications
HPE 684210-B21 10Gb 2-Port 530FLR-SFP+ Adapter
Overview
The HPE 684210-B21 is a dual-port 10GbE FlexibleLOM adapter designed for select HPE ProLiant Gen8 rack servers. It addresses the need for high-bandwidth, low-latency network connectivity in demanding enterprise data center environments. This adapter is engineered to alleviate I/O bottlenecks in virtualized and consolidated server infrastructures, providing a reliable, high-throughput path for network traffic. Powered by a Broadcom BCM57810S processor, the adapter delivers a total aggregate throughput of 20Gbps. It supports advanced stateless offloads, including Tunneling Offloads for NVGRE and VxLAN, which frees up CPU cycles for application processing. This hardware-level processing significantly enhances server efficiency and virtual machine performance, making it ideal for compute clusters and cloud deployments. Designed for the FlexibleLOM slot, this adapter offers a tool-free installation and does not consume a standard PCIe slot, preserving expansion options for other components. Its integration with HPE's management suite allows for streamlined configuration and monitoring through platforms like HPE Systems Insight Manager, simplifying network administration within the ProLiant ecosystem.
