Description
Compatibility and Interoperability
Compatibility and Interoperability for the HP 361FLB 2 Ports10GbE FLEX-FAB LOM:
The HP 361FLB 2 Ports10GbE FLEX-FAB LOM is designed to be compatible with a wide range of HP servers, including the HP ProLiant DL and BL series servers. It is also designed to be interoperable with a variety of network switches and other network devices.
This network adapter supports the Ethernet networking standard, making it compatible with a wide range of Ethernet-based network equipment. It supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE), which allows it to operate at high speeds and handle large amounts of data.
In addition, the HP 361FLB 2 Ports10GbE FLEX-FAB LOM supports virtualization technologies such as VMware and Microsoft Hyper-V, making it ideal for use in virtualized environments.
Maximizing Connectivity
The 656243-001 HP 361FLB 2 Ports10GbE FLEX-FAB LOM is designed to maximize connectivity by providing two 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports on a single adapter. These ports are capable of auto-negotiating their speed, allowing them to connect with 1 GbE and 10 GbE networks. This flexibility in speed makes it easier to connect to a wider range of networks, increasing connectivity options for the user. Additionally, the adapter supports IEEE 802.1Q VLANs, which allow for segmentation of network traffic and improved network performance.
Another way this adapter maximizes connectivity is through its support for TCP/IP offloading. This feature offloads the processing of TCP/IP packets from the server CPU to the adapter, reducing the workload on the server and improving overall network performance. The adapter also supports Jumbo Frames, which allow for larger packets to be transmitted across the network, reducing the number of packets that need to be transmitted and improving network efficiency.
Installation and Configuration
The installation and configuration of the HP 361FLB 2 Ports 10GbE FLEX-FAB LOM adapter can vary depending on the server and operating system being used. Generally, the installation process involves physically inserting the adapter into an available PCIe slot on the server’s motherboard and installing the appropriate drivers and software.
Before installing the adapter, it is recommended to check the compatibility of the adapter with the server’s hardware and operating system. This information can be found in the product documentation or on the HP website.
Once the adapter is physically installed, the appropriate drivers and software can be downloaded from the HP website or included driver disc. The installation process typically involves running the setup program and following the on-screen instructions.
After the drivers and software are installed, the adapter can be configured to suit the specific network environment. This may include setting up VLANs, configuring link aggregation, or adjusting other network settings.
