HP NC360T PCI Express Dual Port Gigabit Server Adapter |
|
|
|
|
|
The NC360T is a high performance PCI Express (PCIe) dual port, copper,
gigabit network solution for ProLiant customers who demand the latest
in dual port Gigabit Ethernet bandwidth and features. It offers two ports
on a single PCI Express adapter, allowing customers to save valuable I/O
slots for other uses. It is based upon the high performance Intel 82571EB
chipset and offers a four lane (x4) PCI Express bus. |

Performance
| Gigabit Throughput Combined with Legacy Ethernet Support | 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet transfer rate delivers outstanding network performance that improves response time and removes bottlenecks. Because the NC360T supports both 10Mbps Ethernet and 100Mbps Fast Ethernet in addition to Gigabit Ethernet, users are guaranteed end-to-end protocol support across their enterprise. |
|
|
|
| PCI Express Interface | HP was an early champion of PCI Express bus technology and has played a key role in the development and industry adoption of the PCI Express specification. The NC360T features a high performance Intel 82571EB chipset and offers a four lane (x4) PCI Express bus based on the PCIe v1.0a standard, yielding faster transmissions with lower CPU utilization than earlier solutions. |
|
|
|
| Load Balancing | Transmit Load Balancing (TLB) and Switch-assisted Load Balancing (SLB) are two advanced features that customers can use to build a bigger pipe for improved networking bandwidth. These port bonding techniques enable users to install up to four dual-port NC360T adapters (total of 8 ports) in a HP ProLiant server and aggregate their throughput up to a theoretical maximum of 16 Gigabits per second full-duplex transmissions. |
|
|
|
| Jumbo Frames | Jumbo Frames (also known as Extended Frames) offer a 9K byte Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU), which is six times the size of traditional Ethernet frames. Like all HP ProLiant server adapters, the NC360T supports jumbo frames as a way to achieve higher throughput and better CPU utilization when deployed in a network infrastructure that supports them. Jumbo frames are particularly useful for database transfers and tape backups. |
|
|
|
| Scalability and Reliability | |
|
Dual Ports |
Two Gigabit ports allow users
to save slots in situations where their servers are slot-constrained. HP
has long been an advocate of dual port adapters for servers; the NC360T
is the latest in our legacy of best-of-breed dual port devices for HP ProLiant
servers. NOTE: Port enumeration on the NC360T is from the top down, i.e. the port near the top of the adapter is port #1 and the port closest to the gold teeth is port #2 |
|
|
|
|
Network Fault Tolerance (NFT) |
Network Fault Tolerance, sometimes called "failover" or "NIC Redundancy," allows for the installation of multiple server adapters so that the active device can be backed up by a redundant adapter to improve availability. HP's teaming utility also allows users to specify that when a failed adapter is fixed and replaced, the original adapter resumes its function as the primary network connection. |
|
|
|
|
Distance capabilities |
The NC360T supports cable runs up to 100 meters (328 feet). |
|
|
|
| Network Management | |
|
Auto-negotiation |
The NC360T automatically senses and configures itself to the speed of the device to which it is attached. It also automatically configures for half or full duplex, depending on the duplex mode of the switch, hub, or router at the other end of the cable. |
|
|
|
|
Wake-on-LAN |
The NC360T provides Wake-on-LAN (WOL) support through the PCI Express bus. A system that supports Wake on LAN can remain available to a systems administrator during its normal downtime. Once the machine is awakened, the systems administrator can remotely control, audit, debug, or manage the machine. |
|
|
|
|
Management Support |
Like all HP ProLiant server adapters, the NC360T ships with drivers and agents that can be managed from all versions of Systems Insight Manager. Additionally, it supports any management application that supports SNMP. |
|
|
|
|
Server Integration |
The SmartStart configuration utility includes setup support for the NC360T so that the adapter can be configured as part of the SmartStart configuration process. Insight Manager can recognize the NC360T individually or in a port-bonded team, and it can collect and report SNMP statistics on the adapter events. Integrated Management Log (IML) support is provided by the NC360T for critical event logging on HP ProLiant servers. |
|
|
|
|
Configuration Utilities |
Each NC360T ships with a set of utilities that allow the user to:
|
|
|
|
|
LED Indicators |
Bracket LED indicators show link integrity, network activity, and speed on each port for easy troubleshooting. |
