Introduction

The ThinkSystem Broadcom 57508 100GbE QSFP56 Ethernet adapters are a high-performance low-power 2-port 100 GbE adapter with a PCIe 4.0 host interface that offers TruFlow intelligent flow processing and supports advanced networking technologies such as VXLAN, NVGRE, Geneve, RoCE, SDN and NFV, to facilitate the management of data networks and to enable service provider solutions. The adapters are available in PCIe low-profile or OCP 3.0 form factors.

The adapter nominally supports 2 ports of 100 Gb Ethernet, but can also be configured to support a single 200 GbE port. Port 1 will be active in this configuration, with Port 2 disabled.

The following figure shows the PCIe Low Profile adapter.

Features

Driven by the growing need for higher server bandwidth and storage capacity to support new and emerging applications (Machine Learning, HPC, Multi-node containers, NVMe, Web 2.0, NVMe storage disaggregation, HCI), enterprises, telcos and cloud providers are modernizing their data centers by adopting latest networking technologies, such as server virtualization and NVMe-oF™. The resulting expansion in data volumes increases server-to-server traffic and CPU loads for networking tasks.

With its market-leading hardware acceleration technologies, the ThinkSystem Broadcom 57508 100GbE adapters address these performance and service demands of mega-scale data center networks with high throughput and advanced flow processing. Features such as TruFlow™ increase VM density up to 50%, freeing more CPU cycles for additional virtual machines. On-chip tunneling protocol processing for Geneve, VXLAN, and NVGRE provides up to a 5X throughput increase while lowering CPU utilization up to 90 percent compared to software-only solutions.

The adapters have the following features:

  • 2x 100GbE (or 1x 200GbE) network connectivity for high availability features eliminating throughput bottlenecks for data-intensive applications

    For details on switching the adapter between 2x 100Gb and 1x 200Gb, see the Lenovo Press paper Configuring 100Gb and 200Gb Link Speeds on the Broadcom 57508 Ethernet Adapters.

  • Industry’s best performing and longest-reach 50G PAM-4 / 25G NRZ SerDes dramatically lowering TCO by reducing cable costs by 50% and doubling port density
  • PCIe 4.0 x16 support maximizing the full potential of servers compliant with the PCI Express 4.0 specification, providing seamless interoperability and doubling server throughput while saving PCIe lanes
  • Third generation Broadcom TruFlow™ engine for intelligent flow processing to increase server VM density and accelerate vSwitch processing of traffic flows with data path Acceleration. TruFlow enables efficient network flow processing, increases Virtual Machine density by offloading the server CPU to improve application performance.
  • RoCE (RDMA over Converged Ethernet), allows Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA) traffic to be communicated over Converged Ethernet using DCB. GPU Compute over RoCE enables scalable GPU clusters up to hundreds of nodes using Ethernet for HPC, AI, and ML applications.
  • Broadcom’s Smart Congestion Control provides consistent and predictable performance for real world workloads plus scaling for heavily loaded network traffic making it ideal for clients looking for deterministic low latency.
  • Broadcom adapters are the industry’s most secure PCIe Ethernet controller solution, leveraging Broadcom’s BroadSAFE® technology to provide unparalleled platform security via Silicon Root of Trust (RoT). Broadcom is the first Ethernet Adapter vendor to store authentication key and code in silicon to protect clients from maliciously modified firmware.
  • Broadcom’s TruManage™ enhances server manageability, network management, and security for data center deployments. TruManage supports widely deployed management standards including DMTF NC-SI, MCTP, PLDM, and SPDM specifications.
  • Support for SR-IOV which bypasses the hypervisor, reducing the latency by removing data copies and context switches between VM address space and hypervisor address space, when transmitting or receiving data over the network. The implementation supports 802.1Qbg Edge Virtual Bridging (EVB).
  • Support for Data Center Bridging (DCB), including IEEE 802.1Qbb Priority based Flow Control (PFC) and 802.1Qaz Enhanced Transmission Selection (ETS). DCB technology allows the device to provide lossless data delivery, prioritize low latency traffic, and share bandwidth among data center physical links.
  • In-band Network Telemetry features provide end-to-end real-time monitoring capability, enabling data center operators to fine tune their networks for maximum performance.

Specifications

The adapter has the following technical specifications:

  • Based on the Broadcom BCM57508 (2-port) controller
  • Supports 100Gb/s (2 ports) or 200Gb/s (1 port) connectivity
    • 25Gb and 10Gb connections are supported with the addition of the Mellanox 100G QSFP28 to 25G SFP28 Cable Adapter (4G17A10853)

Operating system support

The following table indicates which operating systems can be preloaded in the Lenovo factory for CTO server orders where this adapter is included in the server configuration.

Table 12. OS preload support
Operating system Preload support
Windows Server 2016 Supported as a preload for factory orders
Windows Server 2019 Supported as a preload for factory orders
Windows Server 2022 No support as a preload
Windows Server 2025 No support as a preload
VMware ESXi 6.5 U3 Supported as a preload for factory orders
VMware ESXi 6.7 U3 Supported as a preload for factory orders
VMware ESXi 7.0 Supported as a preload for factory orders
VMware ESXi 7.0 U1 Supported as a preload for factory orders
VMware ESXi 7.0 U2 No support as a preload

VMware ESXi 8.0 U3 No support as a preload
VMware ESXi 9.0 No support as a preload

Tip: If an OS is listed as "No support" above, but it is listed in one of the support tables below, that means the OS is supported by the adapter, just not available to be preloaded in the Lenovo factory in CTO orders.

The following table lists the supported operating systems:

  • ThinkSystem Broadcom 57508 100GbE QSFP56 2-port PCIe 4 Ethernet Adapter, 4XC7A08297
  • ThinkSystem Broadcom 57508 100GbE QSFP56 2-Port OCP Ethernet Adapter, 4XC7A08243
