Ports

The HPE 331 FLR Network Adapter is equipped with 4 ports, making it a versatile and powerful networking solution. These ports offer numerous benefits and play a crucial role in enhancing the connectivity and performance of your network.

Enhanced Connectivity

With 4 ports, this network adapter provides you with the ability to connect multiple devices simultaneously. Whether you need to connect servers, workstations, or other networking equipment, the HPE 331 FLR ensures seamless and reliable connectivity. The increased number of ports eliminates the need for additional adapters or switches, simplifying your network infrastructure.

Improved Performance

The 4 ports on the HPE 331 FLR Network Adapter enable higher data transfer rates and reduced latency. This is especially beneficial for bandwidth-intensive applications and data-intensive tasks. With multiple ports, you can distribute the network load efficiently, preventing bottlenecks and ensuring smooth operation even during peak usage periods.

Load Balancing

The HPE 331 FLR Network Adapter supports advanced load balancing techniques across its 4 ports. Load balancing distributes network traffic evenly among the different ports, preventing any single port from becoming overwhelmed. This ensures optimal performance and maximizes the utilization of available network resources.

Link Aggregation

Link aggregation, also known as port trunking or bonding, is another advantage offered by the 4 ports on this network adapter. It allows you to combine multiple ports into a single logical link, increasing both bandwidth and fault tolerance. Link aggregation enhances network throughput by utilizing all available ports simultaneously, resulting in improved performance for high-demand applications.

Redundancy

In addition to improved performance, link aggregation provides redundancy by creating multiple paths between network devices. If one port fails, the traffic is automatically rerouted through the remaining functional ports, ensuring uninterrupted network connectivity. This redundancy feature is especially critical for mission-critical applications and environments where downtime can have severe consequences.

Flexibility

Having 4 ports on the HPE 331 FLR Network Adapter offers flexibility in network design and expansion. You have the freedom to connect different devices without worrying about limitations imposed by a lower number of ports. This flexibility allows for future scalability and accommodates the evolving needs of your network infrastructure.

Part Number

The HPE 331 FLR Network Adapter has a part number of 789897-001, which uniquely identifies this specific model. The part number carries significant benefits and plays a crucial role in various aspects of procurement, compatibility, and support.

Procurement Efficiency

The part number simplifies the procurement process by providing a standardized reference to identify and order the HPE 331 FLR Network Adapter. Instead of relying on lengthy descriptions or various product names, simply referencing the part number ensures accurate and efficient purchasing. This saves time and reduces the risk of ordering incorrect or incompatible products.

Compatibility Verification

The part number serves as a key identifier for compatibility verification. By cross-referencing the part number with system requirements or compatibility lists, you can ensure that the HPE 331 FLR Network Adapter is compatible with your existing infrastructure. This compatibility verification is essential to avoid any potential issues or conflicts that may arise from using incompatible hardware.

Interchangeability

The part number also facilitates interchangeability within the same product line. If you already have an HPE 331 FLR Network Adapter installed and need an additional unit or replacement, matching the part number ensures that you receive the exact same model. This eliminates any concerns regarding compatibility or interoperability between different versions or revisions of the product.

Long-Term Support

Using the part number when seeking technical support or warranty services ensures accurate identification of the HPE 331 FLR Network Adapter. Support teams can quickly identify the specific model based on its part number, allowing for efficient troubleshooting and issue resolution. Additionally, part numbers are often used as references for firmware updates, driver downloads, and other software-related support.

Future Expansion

The HPE 331 FLR Network Adapter's part number facilitates planning for future expansion or upgrades. By referring to the part number, you can easily identify the exact model you currently have, enabling you to procure additional units with the same specifications. This consistency ensures compatibility and helps maintain a standardized network infrastructure as your organization grows.

Inventory Management

The part number is an essential asset in inventory management. It allows you to accurately track and manage your network adapter stock by providing a unique identifier for each unit. By maintaining a record of part numbers, you can easily manage warranties, replacements, and upgrades without confusion or errors.
