HP NC373T PCI Express Multifunction Gigabit Server Adapter | |
|
The HP NC373T is a high performance PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet multifunction
network adapter suitable for either standard or low profile slots in ProLiant
servers running in a twisted pair (copper) network environment. |

Standard Features
| Performance | |
| Gigabit Ethernet Throughput | 10/100/1000Mbps Ethernet transfer rate delivers outstanding network performance that improves response time and removes bottlenecks across the entire network. |
|
|
|
| TCP/IP Offloading (for Windows only) |
TCP/IP Offload Engine (TOE) for Windows only moves the processing of data in the TCP protocol stack from the server CPU to the network card, freeing CPU cycles for other duties. The NC373T supports TOE when Windows TOE Chimney, a part of Scalable Networking Pack available directly from Microsoft, is installed. With TOE, network communications are improved, and server efficiency is increased. |
|
|
|
| Accelerated iSCSI | Accelerated iSCSI allows the NC373T to multi-function
as both as a network adapter and as a storage host bus adapter (HBA), thereby
providing access to storage platforms and to servers over a single connection.
Additionally, the NC373T offloads the iSCSI software to the hardware for
improved performance. Accelerated iSCSI on 1GbE multifunction server adapters purchased as options ships as a standard feature, at no additional charge. |
|
|
|
| Load Balancing | Transmit Load Balancing (TLB) and Switch-Assisted Load Balancing (SLB) are two advanced features used to build a bigger pipe for improved networking bandwidth. These port bonding techniques enable users to use up to eight adapter ports in a ProLiant server and aggregate their throughput up to a theoretical maximum of 16 Gigabits per second full-duplex transmission. The NC373T can be configured with other NC-series Ethernet server adapter teams supported on ProLiant servers. |
|
|
|
| Checksum and Segmentation Offloads, and Interrupt Coalescing |
When running as a standard Gigabit adapter, the NC373T features TCP Checksum Offloads as well as TCP Segmentation Offloads and Interrupt Coalescence. These features reduce the load on the CPU for overall improved system response. Interrupt Coalescence is a feature that groups multiple packets and issues a single interrupt to the host. This process improves host efficiency. |
|
|
|
| Scalability and Reliability | |
| Network Fault Tolerance (NFT) | Network Fault Tolerance, sometimes called "failover" or "NIC redundancy," allows for the installation of multiple NC373T server adapters or other network adapters so that the active device can be backed up by a redundant adapter to improve availability. The HP 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. |
|
|
|
|
Management Support |
Like all HP server adapters, the NC373T ships with drivers and agents that can be managed from all versions of HP Systems Insight Manager, as well as using any management application that supports SNMP. |
|
|
|
| Server Integration | HP Systems Insight Manager can recognize the NC373T individually or in port-bonded teams, and can collect and report SNMP statistics on the adapter events. Additionally, Integrated Management Log (IML) support is provided by the NC373T for critical event logging on HP servers. |
|
|
|
| Configuration Utilities |
Each NC373T ships with a set of utilities that allow the user to:
|
|
|
|
| LED Indicator | Bracket LED indicators show link integrity, network activity, and network speed for easy troubleshooting. |
