HPE 647594-B21 Ethernet 1Gb 4-Port 331T Adapter

Brand:
HPE

HPE 647594-B21 is an Ethernet 1Gb 4-port 331T server network adapter built around the Broadcom BCM5719 controller. It provides four 10/100/1000Base-T RJ-45 Ethernet ports through a PCIe 2.0 x4 interface and supports low-profile server installations. The adapter is positioned for compatible HPE ProLiant and server infrastructure deployments requiring higher 1GbE port density from a single PCIe expansion card.

OVERVIEW

  • HPE 647594-B21 is a 4-port 1Gb Ethernet server adapter using the Broadcom BCM5719 controller, with four RJ-45 10/100/1000Base-T ports and a PCIe 2.0 x4 interface. Compatibility: intended for supported HPE server platforms; verify the exact server model. Model comparison: 331T is a four-port 1GbE stand-up adapter, while other HPE NICs may use different speeds, port counts or interfaces.

USE CASES

  • HPE ProLiant network expansion - Four 1GbE ports from one adapter increase physical network connectivity without requiring four separate expansion cards.
  • Server virtualization - Virtualization-oriented features such as VMware NetQueue and Microsoft VMQ can help distribute network processing more efficiently in supported environments. 
  • Network segmentation - Four independent Ethernet connections provide practical port density for separating traffic across compatible server network designs.
  • Server consolidation - Higher port density from one PCIe card can help reduce the number of adapters required in suitable server configurations.
  • Management and production networking - Multiple RJ-45 interfaces can be assigned to different network roles where the server architecture and network design require separate physical connections.
  • Security infrastructure - Multi-port connectivity is useful for server deployments that require distinct physical network paths for security or traffic-segmentation architectures.
  • Data-center server refresh - Provides a defined 1GbE quad-port configuration for compatible HPE server upgrade and replacement projects.
  • Low-profile server deployment - Low-profile support helps buyers match the adapter to servers or riser configurations requiring a lower-height expansion-card profile.
  • High-port-density 1GbE environments - Four ports in one adapter provide a compact way to add multiple Gigabit Ethernet connections to a compatible server.

KEY FEATURES

  • 4 × 1Gb Ethernet ports - Buyer Benefit: Provides four Gigabit Ethernet connections from one PCIe adapter, increasing network port density while conserving expansion slots.
  • 10/100/1000Base-T support - Buyer Benefit: Supports common Ethernet speeds over copper RJ-45 connections, allowing the adapter to fit established 10/100/1000 network environments. 
  • Broadcom BCM5719 controller - Buyer Benefit: Provides a defined controller platform, making hardware selection and compatibility validation more precise. HPE PartSurfer identifies 647594-B21 with the BCM5719 adapter assembly. 
  • PCIe 2.0 x4 interface - Buyer Benefit: Uses a four-lane PCI Express connection, providing an appropriate host interface for the adapter's four-port 1GbE configuration. 
  • Low-profile support - Buyer Benefit: Helps deployment teams install the NIC in compatible low-profile server configurations where expansion-card height is constrained.
  • 8Gb/s aggregate full-duplex theoretical bandwidth - Buyer Benefit: Provides up to the combined theoretical full-duplex bandwidth of the four 1GbE ports, useful for evaluating aggregate network capacity. 
  • Stateless network offloads - Buyer Benefit: Features including Large Send/Receive Offload, TCP checksum and segmentation offloads can reduce host-processing overhead for supported workloads. 
  • Virtualization support - Buyer Benefit: VMware NetQueue and Microsoft VMQ support can help optimize network I/O handling in virtualized server environments. 
  • VLAN tagging and jumbo-frame support - Buyer Benefit: Provides network configuration capabilities useful for segmented and performance-oriented Ethernet environments. 
  • MSI/MSI-X support - Buyer Benefit: Helps distribute interrupt processing across CPU cores in supported systems, supporting efficient multi-core network processing.
