Network adapters
The HS23E offers two integrated Gigabit Ethernet ports with the onboard Broadcom BCM5718 controller.
These ports are routed to the chassis I/O bays 1 and 2 in BladeCenter H, BladeCenter HT and
BladeCenter E. On BladeCenter S, the two onboard ports are both routed to the chassis I/O bay 1.
The integrated dual-port NIC has the following features:
Two Gigabit Ethernet ports with BCM5718 ASIC
Full-duplex (FDX) capability
IEEE 802.3x FDX flow control
I/O virtualization support for VMware NetQueue and Microsoft VMQ
Function Level Reset (FLR)
IPv4/IPv6 offload:
TCP, IP, and UDP checksum offload
Large send offload (LSO)
TCP segmentation offload (TSO)
Receive side scaling (RSS)
Transmit-side scaling (TSS)
