HPE 615730-001

332T 1 Gb 2-Port Network Adapter

The HPE 615730-001 332T 1 Gb 2-Port Network Adapteris a compact, high-efficiency Ethernet solution designed forHPE ProLiant servers. Utilizing a PCI Express 2.0 x1 interface, it connects servers to network infrastructure via two RJ-45 ports, each delivering up to 1 Gbps full-duplex performance. Ideal for virtualization, server consolidation, and general-purpose networking, this adapter ensures reliable and continuous connectivity within enterprise environments.Based on the Broadcom BCM5720 single-chip, the adapter supports essential advanced features like jumbo frames, VLAN tagging, PCIe MSI-X, Energy Efficient Ethernet, and offloading capabilities—including large send/receive offloads and TCP segmentation. It’s optimized to reduce CPU load and improve throughput, supporting technologies such as VMware NetQueue and Microsoft VMQ—making it an excellent fit for virtualized data centers and environments aiming for efficiency and scalability.

Features

Engineered for HPE ProLiant Generation-8 (and select Gen-7) servers, theHPE615730-001 332T Network Adapterensures seamless integration and dependable network performance. Its pci-express 2.0 x1 form factor allows installation without occupying full-length slots, making it particularly suited for dense rack environments and maintenance-friendly configurations.Each RJ-45 port supports Ethernet speeds of 10/100/1000 Mbps and delivers full line-rate performance. In aggregate, the adapter offers up to 4 Gbps full-duplex bandwidth—2 Gbps per port—providing ample throughput for typical server workloads and minimizing network bottlenecks.On the intelligence side, the adapter includes virtualization enhancements such as VMware NetQueue and Microsoft VMQ, enabling better CPU utilization during high traffic and VM scaling scenarios. Furthermore, MSI-X improves interrupt handling efficiency in multi-core systems. The presence of Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) reduces power consumption during idle or low-traffic periods. Other supported features include IEEE 1588 (PTP), 802.1as timing, jumbo frames, VLAN tagging (802.1Q), and dynamic link aggregation (LACP), which bolster performance, precision, and network segmentation capabilities.

Advanced Options

Built around the proven Broadcom BCM5720 chipset, theHPE 332T Adapter offers robust performance and reliable operation within mission-critical IT environments. Its low-profile design supports both full-height and half-height brackets, enabling flexible deployment across different server chassis types.Networking efficiency is paramount with full-duplex gigabit throughput on each port, effectively supporting data-intensive applications and ensuring smooth network throughput. Offloading capabilities—such as Large Send/Receive Offload and TCP segmentation offload—significantly reduce host CPU usage, improving overall system performance under heavy loads.
