basic I/O performance information for the A6825A 1000Base-T and A6847A 1000Base-SX Gigabit Ethernet LAN Adapters when installed in the hp server rp7410. This paper is not an exhaustive source for HP LAN adapter performance information. It provides a guideline for expected performance from the A6825A - HP Rp7410 | PCI Gigabit Ethernet Performance Paper using HP Server rp7410 - Page 4

Gigabit Ethernet Performance in rp7410 Servers test configuration The test configuration consists of an 8-way (750 MHz) rp7410 with 16 Gigabytes of system memory and eight A6847A Gigabit Ethernet cards. The cards were connected to one of two HP 9304M Procurve Routing Switches. The tests were - HP Rp7410 | PCI Gigabit Ethernet Performance Paper using HP Server rp7410 - Page 6
size of 128K bytes and message size of 32K bytes • Bi-directional (BD) running the TX and RX tests concurrently NOTE: • The A6749-60001 core LAN/SCSI card in the rp7410 had only minimal site LAN traffic during performance testing.

cards in an 8-way rp7410. Throughput numbers are shown in 10^6 bits per second, or Mbps. As the chart shows, one NIC transmits well over 947 Mbps of user data scaling on transmit and receive for up to four cards. Thus, the rp7410 supports up to four Gigabit Ethernet adapters at full unidirectional - HP Rp7410 | PCI Gigabit Ethernet Performance Paper using HP Server rp7410 - Page 8
cards and four cards as it is for a single card. The average throughput per card for receive data on two and four cards compared to one card is exceptional as well. The decline in average bi-directional throughput as the number of cards increases results from the rp7410 nearing the limit of its CPU - HP Rp7410 | PCI Gigabit Ethernet Performance Paper using HP Server rp7410 - Page 9
