Detailed Specifications
HPE 733385-001 Ethernet 10Gb 2-Port 571SFP+ Adapter
Overview
The HPE 733385-001 is an enterprise-class, dual-port 10GbE network adapter designed to add high-speed SFP+ connectivity to compatible servers. This adapter is engineered specifically for environments requiring high bandwidth and low latency, such as data centers, high-performance computing clusters, and virtualized infrastructures. It addresses the need for a reliable, high-throughput I/O solution to eliminate network bottlenecks in data-intensive applications. At its core, the adapter is powered by the Solarflare SFC9020 network processor, a controller recognized for its efficient and high-performance packet processing. This enables the card to support advanced features like TCP/IP checksum offloading, Large Send Offload (LSO), and interrupt coalescing, which collectively reduce the server's CPU overhead and improve overall system efficiency. This offloading capability frees up processor cycles for critical application workloads rather than network traffic management. Designed as a low-profile, plug-in card utilizing a PCI Express 2.0 x8 interface, the 733385-001 is physically optimized for rack-dense server environments, particularly HPE ProLiant Gen8 series servers like the DL360p and DL380p. Its dual SFP+ ports provide flexible connectivity options for either Direct Attach Copper (DAC) cables for short-distance links or fiber optic transceivers for longer runs, ensuring seamless integration into existing network fabrics managed by tools like HPE Systems Insight Manager.
