- Infiniband QDR support: The adapter supports Infiniband QDR (40 Gbps) networking, a high-performance interconnect technology used in many HPC (High Performance Computing) and data center environments.
- Ethernet 10Gb support: The adapter also supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet networking, a high-speed standard used in many enterprise and cloud computing environments.
- Low latency: The adapter’s design provides very low latency, which is important in HPC and other applications where fast response times are critical.
- Large message sizes: The adapter supports large message sizes, which can help to reduce overhead and improve performance in certain applications.
- Advanced network features: The adapter supports a range of advanced networking features, including jumbo frames, VLAN tagging, TCP/IP offload, and more.
- Compatibility: The adapter is compatible with a range of HPE servers and other networked devices, and can be easily installed in standard PCIe slots.
Installation and Configuration of the Adapter
The HPE Infiniband QDR/Ethernet 10Gb 2-port 544+M adapter is a high-performance network interface card designed to provide high-speed connectivity for HPE servers. The adapter supports both Infiniband and Ethernet protocols, making it versatile and suitable for a variety of applications.
Installation:
- First, shut down the server and unplug it from the power source.
- Open the server chassis and locate a PCIe slot compatible with the adapter. Refer to the server documentation to determine the appropriate slot.
- Insert the adapter into the PCIe slot and secure it with the screw.
- Connect the adapter to the network using the appropriate cables. Refer to the adapter documentation to determine the correct cables to use.
- Close the server chassis and power on the server.
Configuration:
- Install the appropriate driver software for the adapter onto the server operating system. This can typically be downloaded from the HPE website.
- Configure the adapter settings using the operating system’s network configuration utility. This typically involves specifying the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway for the adapter.
- Configure any additional network settings, such as DNS servers or VLAN tags, as needed.
- Test the adapter by running network diagnostic tools or performing real-world tests, such as transferring files or streaming video.
Network Connectivity Options with the Adapter
The 764612-001 HPE Infiniband QDR/Ethernet 10Gb 2-port 544+M Adapter is a network adapter designed for use in high-performance computing environments, where low latency and high bandwidth are critical.
The adapter provides two ports, each capable of supporting both InfiniBand QDR and Ethernet 10Gb connectivity options. InfiniBand is a high-speed interconnect technology used in high-performance computing clusters, while Ethernet is a widely used networking technology in enterprise and data center environments.
The adapter supports both copper and optical cables, providing flexibility in network connectivity options. The 544+M in the product name refers to the maximum data transfer rate of 544 megabytes per second (MB/s) for InfiniBand and 10 gigabits per second (Gb/s) for Ethernet.
With this adapter, users can configure their network to support either InfiniBand or Ethernet, or a combination of both, depending on their specific needs. The adapter also supports RDMA (Remote Direct Memory Access) over Converged Ethernet (RoCE), a technology that allows for high-speed data transfer with low latency over Ethernet networks.
