HPE P10093-B21

(QL41134HLCU) 4‑Port 10 GbE SFP+ PCIe 3.0 ×8 Network Adapter

The HPE P10093‑B21, also known as QL41134HLCU, is a high-density, quad‑port 10 Gigabit Ethernet Network Adapter featuring SFP+ connectivity. Built on Marvell’s QL41134HLCU chipset, this card interfaces via PCI Express 3.0 ×8 for full line‑rate performance. Designed to meet the demands of modern ProLiant Gen10 Plus servers, including DL360, DL380, DL385, DL325, DL365, XL220n, XL225n, and XL290n, it offers robust 10 GbE links ideal for virtualization, storage networking, and cloud workloads. With four independent 10 GbE ports, administrators can optimize bandwidth, enable failover, or segment traffic per service. This plug‑in card delivers enterprise-grade network expansion for bandwidth‑intensive applications.

Features

This adapter delivers 10 GbE performance across four SFP+ ports, offering a balance between density and flexibility. The Marvell QL41134HLCU engine supports RDMA over Converged Ethernet (RoCE), SR‑IOV virtualization offloads, VLAN tagging, link aggregation (LACP), jumbo frames (up to 9 KB), and IEEE-compliant 802.1p QoS. It also integrates Marvell's firmware authentication with Gen10 Plus root‑of‑trust architecture—ensuring secure updates and preventing rogue firmware.Optimized for minimal power (~9–11 W typical), this card supports efficient thermal profiling in rack servers. With its PCIe 3.0 ×8 plug‑in design and form factor, it leaves standard and FlexibleLOM slots open for future expansion. Certified across HPE ProLiant Gen10 Plus platforms, it delivers consistent performance and driver support on modern Linux, VMware, and Windows environments.

Advanced Options

This adapter is engineered for high-performance enterprise workloads while minimizing overhead. The Marvell silicon ensures stable low-latency throughput across all four 10 GbE links. Hardware offload features like SR‑IOV and RoCE allow virtualization hosts to reduce CPU load and accelerate VM migrations or storage traffic. Gen10 Plus firmware signing enforces update integrity and mitigates security risks.
