About the HPE 817749-B21 - HPE Ethernet 10/25Gb 2-port 640FLR-SFP28 Adapter

The HPE 817749-B21 delivers dual-port 10/25GbE connectivity in a flexible, space-efficient form factor designed for next-generation data center deployments. This HPE Ethernet adapter combines high-speed port density with enterprise-class reliability, making it an ideal choice for network engineers and infrastructure architects seeking to modernize their server connectivity without sacrificing performance or compatibility.

Built on the Cavium FastLinQ QL41262 network controller, the 817749-B21 operates via PCIe 3.0 x8 through HPE's FlexibleLOM slot architecture, enabling seamless integration into HPE ProLiant Gen9 and Gen10 servers. The adapter supports auto-negotiated speeds of 10GbE and 25GbE per port, with comprehensive offload capabilities including TCP/UDP/IP checksum offload, Large Send Offload (LSO), and Large Receive Offload (LRO). It delivers advanced features such as SR-IOV support for virtual machine scalability, RoCE (RDMA over Converged Ethernet) for low-latency applications, and Data Center Bridging (DCB) with Priority Flow Control (PFC) and Enhanced Transmission Selection (ETS) for QoS-critical environments. The adapter also supports FCoE and iSCSI, providing flexibility for both block and file storage protocols. Compatible with SFP28 DAC, active optical cable (AOC), and optical transceivers, the 817749-B21 adapts to diverse cabling strategies across modern data centers. Full support for Windows Server, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server, and VMware vSphere ESXi ensures broad operating system compatibility. HPE iLO integration delivers single-pane management of both server and adapter resources, while firmware updates are streamlined through HPE Smart Update Manager (SUM) and Service Pack for ProLiant (SPP).
