About the HPE 817721-B21 - HPE Ethernet 10Gb 2-port 535FLR-T Adapter

The dual-port 10GbE HPE Ethernet 10Gb 2-port 535FLR-T Adapter (part number 817721-B21) delivers high-speed connectivity for enterprise data centers requiring flexible network expansion. Built on the Intel X540 controller and housed in a FlexibleLOM form factor, this adapter slots directly into compatible HPE ProLiant servers, eliminating the need for dedicated PCIe slots while maintaining full 10GBASE-T performance over Cat6a cabling. With support for auto-negotiation across 100Mbps, 1Gbps, and 10Gbps data rates, the HPE 817721-B21 adapts seamlessly to existing infrastructure investments.

Network engineers and IT procurement teams will appreciate the comprehensive offload engine suite—including TCP/UDP/IP checksum offload, Large Send Offload (LSO), and Receive-Side Scaling (RSS)—which reduces CPU overhead and boosts application throughput. The adapter supports IEEE 802.1Q VLAN segmentation (up to 4096 VLANs), IEEE 802.3ad LACP for link aggregation, and SR-IOV and VMDq virtualization modes, making it ideal for multi-tenant environments. Wake-on-LAN capability and integrated HPE iLO management integration streamline remote administration. Regulatory certifications include CE, FCC, and RoHS compliance. HPE officially supports this adapter across ProLiant Gen9 servers (BL, DL, ML series with FlexibleLOM slots) and major operating systems including Windows Server 2008 R2, 2012, and 2012 R2, as well as Red Hat Enterprise Linux, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server, and VMware ESXi.

Deployment Scenarios

  • Multi-tenant virtualized environments leveraging SR-IOV and VMDq for isolated virtual machine network paths
  • High-performance storage area networks (SANs) requiring low-latency 10GbE connectivity with LACP failover
  • Consolidated data center refreshes where existing Cat6a infrastructure supports immediate 10GbE adoption
  • Mission-critical applications benefiting from TCP/UDP offload and RSS to reduce CPU utilization
  • VLAN-segmented enterprise networks supporting up to 4096 isolated broadcast domains per adapter
