Network Adapter HPE 533FLR-T

The HP Enterprise 533FLR-T (Network Adapter HPE 533FLR-T) is a dual‑port 10GBASE‑T FlexibleLOM network adapter designed for HP ProLiant Gen8 DL and SL servers. It provides high‑performance wired Ethernet connectivity with a PCI host interface and up to 20,000 Mbit/s aggregate throughput, delivering a reliable 10 GbE solution for data centers and workload‑intensive computing environments.

Advantages

The adapter delivers full line‑rate 10 GbE throughput across both ports and offloads storage traffic to improve overall server I/O performance. It supports Single Root I/O Virtualization (SR‑IOV), VMware NetQueue and Microsoft VMQ for improved virtualization efficiency, and VLAN tagging for enhanced network segmentation and management. The FlexibleLOM form factor enables deployment across compatible HP ProLiant platforms while maintaining backward compatibility with 1 GbE networks and CAT 6a cabling up to 100 meters.

Suitable for

• Enterprise data centers requiring increased network throughput
• Virtualized server environments using VMware or Microsoft Hyper‑V
• Storage‑intensive applications needing hardware offload
• HP ProLiant Gen8 DL and SL server deployments

How to use

Install the 533FLR‑T in a compatible HP ProLiant Gen8 DL or SL server FlexibleLOM slot following HP hardware installation procedures. Connect each 10GBASE‑T port to the network using CAT 6a (or better) cabling for optimal 10 GbE performance. Configure network settings, VLAN tagging, and virtualization features (SR‑IOV, NetQueue/VMQ) in the server operating system or hypervisor according to your environment and driver documentation.

Recommendations

For best results in workload‑intensive or virtualized deployments, use certified drivers from HP, ensure firmware is up to date, and pair the adapter with CAT 6a cabling and compatible switches to maintain 10GBASE‑T performance and full hardware offload benefits.
