The HP 331T does not support SR-IOV ( Single Root - Input Output Virtualization)
Support for HP Sea of Sensors 3D Technology 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.
network load activity.
In addition to Gigabit Ethernet, the HP 331T adapter supports both 10Mbps and 100Mbps providing
compatibility with Ethernet and Fast Ethernet twisted pair networks.
The HP331T adapter ships with a pre-installed full height bracket and a half height bracket is also supplied
to ensure trouble free installation. The included quick install card guides the user in the bracket exchange
process
The x4 PCI Express interface on the HP 331T is compatible with x4, x8, and x16 PCI slots. If installed in a x8
or x16 slot, the adapter will operate at the x4 speed.
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 331T
provides support for several different types of teaming enabling IT administrators to optimize availability,
improve performance and help reduce costs.
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:

The HP 331T 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.
