SR-IOV
The HP 331FLR does not support SR-IOV ( Single Root - Input Output Virtualization)
Energy Efficient Ethernet
Compliant with IEEE 802.3az, featuring advanced power savings features throttles power usage with
network load activity.
HP Sea of Sensors 3D
Support for HP Sea of Sensors 3D which is a collection of 32 sensors that automatically track thermal
activity - heat - across the server. When temperatures get too high, sensors can kick on fans and make
other adjustments to reduce energy usage. What makes it better is the upgrade from all six fans kicking on
at one time to a new system where only one kicks on - the one in proximity of the area that started heating
up - thus reducing the amount of energy used for cooling.
Versatility
10/100/1000T Twisted
Pair Networks
In addition to Gigabit Ethernet, the 331FLR adapter supports both 10Mbps and 100Mbps providing
compatibility with Ethernet and Fast Ethernet twisted pair networks.
FlexibleLOM slot
Compatibility
The HP 331FLR is compatible only with HP FlexibleLOM slot available on select HP ProLiant Gen8 Rack
servers
PCI Express Compatibility
The PCI Express interface on the 331FLR is mechanically compatible with x8 and x16 PCI Express slots but
has a different connector pin out than a standard PCI Express slot. When installed in a x8 or x16 slot, the
adapter will operate at the x4 speed.
High Availability
Network Adapter Teaming
ProLiant Network Adapter Teaming provides fault tolerance and load balancing across a team of two or
more network adapters. The team of adapters works together as a single virtual adapter. The HP 331FLR
FlexibleLOM provides Support for several different types of teaming.
The teaming options offer IT professionals an easy, efficient, and cost-effective way to provide network
fault tolerance and increased network bandwidth. For more information, refer to the ProLiant Network
Adapter Teaming Whitepaper available at:

Network Management
Auto-negotiation
The HP 331FLR automatically senses the speed of the device to which it is attached. It also automatically
configures for full duplex, depending on the duplex mode of the switch, hub, or router connected to the
adapter.
Management Support
Like all HP server adapters, the HP 331FLR ships with drivers and agents that can be managed from HP
Systems Insight Manager, as well as using any other management application that supports SNMP. HP
Systems Insight Manager can recognize the 331FLR individually or in teams, and can collect and report
SNMP statistics on the adapter events.
