HP 717708-002 561T 2 x Ports 10Gb/s PCI Express 2.1 x8 Ethernet Network Adapter Card

Product Description

The HP 717708-002, also known as the HP 561T, is a high-performance dual-port 10 Gigabit Ethernet Network Adapter designed to meet the rigorous demands of modern data centers and enterprise networks. Equipped with two 10Gb/s Ethernet ports, it provides substantial bandwidth for server connectivity, storage area networks (SANs), and high-performance computing environments. The adapter leverages the PCI Express 2.1 x8 interface, ensuring a high-speed connection to the host system's motherboard, which is crucial for maximizing the throughput of the 10GbE ports. This network adapter card is built with advanced features to optimize network performance and reduce CPU overhead. It typically includes support for technologies such as Jumbo Frames, which can improve efficiency for large data transfers by reducing the number of packets processed. Furthermore, it often incorporates offloading capabilities like TCP/UDP/IP checksum offloading and large send offload, allowing the host CPU to focus on application processing rather than network tasks. These features collectively contribute to lower latency and higher overall system performance. The HP 717708-002 is designed for easy integration into various server platforms, often coming with both standard and low-profile bracket options for flexible installation in different chassis types. Its robust design and dual-port configuration make it an ideal choice for server consolidation, virtualization environments, and any application requiring high-speed, reliable network connectivity. The RJ-45 connectors ensure compatibility with standard Ethernet cabling infrastructure.
