The HPE InfiniBand FDR Dual-Ports QSFP 56Gbps Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express 3.0 x8 Network Adapter is a high-performance network adapter designed for use in HPE servers. Here are the installation and configuration guidelines for this adapter:
- Ensure that your server has an available PCIe 3.0 x8 slot. The adapter will not work in any other type of slot.
- Turn off your server and unplug it from the power source.
- Open the server and locate an available PCIe 3.0 x8 slot.
- Remove the adapter from its packaging and gently insert it into the available PCIe 3.0 x8 slot, making sure it is securely seated.
- Close the server and reconnect it to the power source.
- Boot up the server and ensure that the adapter is recognized by the system. You can check this by running the appropriate software utility for your operating system.
- Install the appropriate drivers for the adapter, which should be available from the HPE website.
- Configure the adapter as needed for your network environment. This may involve configuring IP addresses, network protocols, and other settings.
- Test the adapter to ensure that it is working correctly. You can do this by running network tests or benchmarks to measure its performance.
- Monitor the adapter's performance over time and make any necessary adjustments to optimize its performance.
The 778509-B21 HPE InfiniBand FDR Dual-Ports QSFP 56GBPS Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express 3.0 x8 Network Adapter is a hardware component designed for use in computer systems to provide high-speed network connectivity. Here's an explanation of what each part of the name means:
- 778509-B21: This is the specific model number of the network adapter. It's a unique identifier that distinguishes this particular hardware component from others in the HPE product line.
- HPE InfiniBand FDR: InfiniBand is a type of high-speed networking technology that's often used in data centers and high-performance computing environments. FDR stands for Fourteen Data Rate, which refers to the 56 gigabits per second (Gbps) data transfer rate that this network adapter is capable of.
- Dual-Ports QSFP: This network adapter has two ports for connecting to other network devices. QSFP stands for Quad Small Form-factor Pluggable, which is a type of transceiver module used for high-speed network connections.
- 56GBPS: As mentioned earlier, this network adapter is capable of transferring data at a rate of 56 gigabits per second. This is a very fast speed, which is important for applications that require high bandwidth.
- Gigabit Ethernet: In addition to InfiniBand connectivity, this network adapter also supports Gigabit Ethernet, which is a more common type of network technology that's used in many different types of computer systems.
- PCI Express 3.0 x8: This network adapter connects to the computer's motherboard using a PCI Express (PCIe) interface. PCIe 3.0 is the third generation of this interface, and x8 refers to the number of lanes that are used to transfer data between the network adapter and the computer. A higher number of lanes generally means higher bandwidth and faster data transfer rates.
Regarding the networking protocols supported, this network adapter is compatible with a range of industry-standard networking protocols, including TCP/IP, UDP, and IPoIB (IP over InfiniBand). It also supports various InfiniBand-specific protocols, such as MPI (Message Passing Interface) and RDMA (Remote Direct Memory Access). These protocols allow the network adapter to communicate with other network devices and provide a reliable and efficient data transfer.
Future developments and UpgradesThe 778509-B21 is a network adapter manufactured by Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) that provides high-speed connectivity for data centers and high-performance computing applications. Here's a breakdown of its key features:
- InfiniBand FDR: InfiniBand is a high-speed networking technology that is commonly used in data centers and HPC environments. FDR (Fourteen Data Rate) is the fastest version of InfiniBand, with a maximum data rate of 56Gbps.
- Dual-Ports QSFP: The adapter has two QSFP (Quad Small Form-factor Pluggable) ports, which support both InfiniBand and Ethernet connectivity. QSFP is a type of transceiver module that enables high-speed data transfer over fiber optic or copper cables.
- Gigabit Ethernet: In addition to InfiniBand, the adapter also supports Gigabit Ethernet, which is a widely used networking standard for local area networks (LANs).
- PCI Express 3.0 x8: The adapter uses a PCI Express (PCIe) 3.0 x8 interface, which provides high bandwidth and low latency connectivity to the host server.
Regarding future developments and upgrades, HPE may release newer versions of the adapter with faster networking speeds or support for new technologies. Additionally, as data centers and HPC environments evolve, there may be changes to the networking infrastructure that require new adapters or upgrades to existing ones. It's important to regularly review and update network hardware to ensure optimal performance and compatibility with new technologies.
