Description
Compatibility and Interface of the Network Adapter
The HPE E7X97A Quad-Ports 1GBPS Ethernet Network Adapter is designed to be compatible with a variety of server platforms and operating systems. It supports PCIe 2.1 x4 and x8 interface, and it is compatible with a range of operating systems, including Windows Server, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server, VMware, and Citrix XenServer.
The network adapter uses the RJ-45 connector type for copper-based connections and supports Auto-MDIX (automatic medium-dependent interface crossover) for automatic configuration of the correct cabling type. It is also backward compatible with 10/100 Mbps networks.
The Ethernet Network Adapter is designed to be hot-swappable and can be easily installed into an available PCIe slot in the server. The installation process is typically straightforward and does not require any additional drivers or software. The Ethernet Network Adapter can also be used in conjunction with other network adapters to provide additional network connectivity options to a server.
High Speed Data Transmission Capabilities
The HPE E7X97A Quad-Ports 1GBPS Ethernet Network Adapter is designed to provide high-speed data transmission capabilities for enterprise-level networks. It supports four 10/100/1000BASE-T Ethernet ports, which enable the adapter to provide up to 4 Gbps of aggregated bandwidth. This allows for high-speed data transfer between servers, storage devices, and other network resources.
The adapter supports full-duplex operation, which means that data can be sent and received simultaneously on each of the four ports, providing optimal network performance. It also supports jumbo frames, which can be used to increase network throughput by reducing the overhead associated with transmitting small data packets.
The network adapter uses advanced features such as TCP offload engine (TOE) and intelligent interrupt coalescing to help reduce CPU utilization and improve overall network performance. These features enable the adapter to handle large volumes of network traffic while minimizing the impact on system resources.
In addition to its high-speed data transmission capabilities, the Ethernet Network Adapter also supports advanced networking features such as VLAN tagging, link aggregation, and IEEE 802.1p traffic prioritization, which can be used to optimize network performance and improve the efficiency of network traffic management.
Energy Efficiency and Power Management
The HPE E7X97A Quad-Ports 1GBPS Ethernet Network Adapter is designed to provide energy-efficient performance while reducing power consumption. It uses an efficient power management system that can help to reduce the overall power consumption of the adapter and the server it is installed in.
The network adapter supports various power management features such as Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI), which is a power management specification that enables the adapter to enter low-power states when it is not in use. This helps to reduce the amount of power consumed by the adapter, which can lead to lower operating costs and increased energy efficiency.
The adapter also supports Wake-on-LAN (WoL), which allows a computer to be turned on remotely via the network. This feature can help to conserve energy by enabling computers to be powered off when they are not in use, and turned on only when needed. The adapter can also be configured to automatically shut down when the server is powered off, further reducing power consumption.
The HPE E7X97A Quad-Ports 1GBPS Ethernet Network Adapter is designed to provide energy-efficient performance while maintaining high levels of performance and functionality. Its power management features can help organizations to reduce their energy costs and carbon footprint, while ensuring that their network infrastructure is highly available and reliable.
