The HPE FlexFabric 534M is a 2-port 10GbE Mezzanine adapter, featuring the next generation of 10Gb Ethernet offering in a single chip solution on a mezzanine form factor that further reduces power requirements for 2 ports of 10Gb Ethernet. It is designed for use with HPE BladeSystem c-Class Gen8 blade server platforms type A and Type B mezzanine slots.

It provides full duplex high performance Ethernet connectivity with support for HPE Virtual Connect Flex-10 blade interconnect technology, allowing each 10GbE port to be divided into four physical NICs and optimize bandwidth management for virtualized servers. The HPE FlexFlexFabric 534M adapter, now has new storage I/O functionality making it a full-Converged Network Adapter (CNA).

The HPE 534M supports enterprise class features such as VLAN tagging, adaptive interrupt coalescing, MSI-X, NIC teaming (bonding), Receive Side Scaling (RSS), jumbo frames and PXE boot. It also supports virtualization features such as SR-IOV (Windows, Linux), and Microsoft VMQ.

Features
