Adapter Specs

• Port Type: Internal Quad Port
• Data Transfer Speed: 1Gbps
• Protocol: Ethernet
• PCIe: 2.0×4

The HPE Ethernet 1Gb 4-port 366M Adapter is a HPE BladeSystem c-Class network adapter providing four Gigabit Ethernet ports on a single card saving valuable server mezzanine slots for other purposes. The x4 PCI Express 366M is supported on ProLiant c-Class servers in all mezzanine slots. For Gen8 ProLiant c-Class servers, the 366M is the first quad-port adapter option for c-Class with latest Intel Ethernet I350 controller With the 366M, up to 96 Gigabit Ethernet ports per c7000 enclosure and 48 per c3000 enclosure are possible. The four ports provide the highest port density available for BladeSystem servers in a single adapter. The 366M is ideal for virtualization, security, server consolidation, network segmentation, and other server applications requiring maximum throughput and port density in a 1GbE infrastructure. The total aggregate throughput of 8 Gb/s full duplex also meets the needs for customers desiring high bandwidth but are not yet ready to move to 10 Gigabit Ethernet.

At a Glance Features

• Four Gigabit Ethernet ports – The four ports on this adapter are transmitted to up to four separate enclosure interconnect bays providing redundant signal path.
• Supported on ProLiant Gen8 servers in all c-class enclosures, all server mezzanine slots (Mezzanine slot1 supports 2 ports & Mezzanine slot2 supports 4 ports); multiple cards per server.
• Intel Ethernet I350 controllers
• Designed with server needs in mind
• IEEE 802.1p, 802.1Q, 802.3, 802.3ad, and 802.3x
• ProLiant Teaming including Network Fault Tolerance, Transmit Load Balancing, and Switch-Assisted Load Balancing
• 9.5K Jumbo frames
• Interrupt/DMA Coalescing
• IEEE 1588 (Precision Time Stamping) & 802.1AS (Hardware enabled Time Synchronization)
• TCP/IP checksum offload (TCO) and large send offload (LSO)
• Support for Preboot eXecution Environment (PXE)
• Intel Integrated I/O and Data Direct I/O for increased performance and reduced latency
• Virtualization with VMDq
• IPv6 packet transmit and receive (excluding all offload capabilities); IPv6 aware SNMPv1 agent for Windows

Data Rate
Four ports, each at 1000 Mb/s bi-directional (theoretical maximum)
NOTE: This adapter transmits from the server at only 2 Gbps aggregate full duplex per port.

Form Factor Type I mezzanine card
NOTE: If this adapter is installed in mezzanine slot 1 of a half-height server, connectivity will be provided on only 2 of the 4 ports.

Throughput- Theoretical Bandwidth
This adapter delivers 8 Gb/s bi-directional Ethernet transfer rate per port (32 Gb/s per adapter), providing the network performance needed to improve response times and alleviate bottlenecks.

TCP/UDP/IP
For overall improved system response, this adapter supports standard TCP/IP offloading techniques including: TCP/IP, UDP checksum offload (TCO) moves the TCP and IP checksum offloading from the CPU to the network adapter. Large send offload (LSO) or TCP segmentation offload (TSO) allows the TCP segmentation to be handled by the adapter rather than the CPU.
