| Q1. |
What is the NC340T? |
| A1. |
The NC340T is a quad-port 10/100/1000 Mb/s PCI-X adapter that has been designed, developed, and tested to meet the needs of ProLiant server customers. The NC340T complies to the PCI v2.3 and PCI-X v1.0a standards, and ships with support for major network operating systems.
|
|
| Q2. |
How is the NC340T different from other NC-series network adapters? |
| A2. |
The NC340T features four 10/100/1000T ports on a single adapter ideal for connection-dense environments and slot-constrained ProLiant servers.
|
|
| Q3. |
What is the theoretical maximum throughput of the NC340T? |
| A3. |
Each port on the NC7170 is capable of 1000Mb/s. This yields a theoretical maximum throughput of 4000 Mb/s providing the highest bandwidth available in an NC-series Ethernet adapter.
|
|
| Q4. |
What network controller is used in the NC340T? |
| A4. |
The NC340T utilizes two Intel 82546GB controllers with a Pericom PCI-X bridge.
|
|
| General |
| Q1. |
Can the NC340T be teamed with other NC-series Ethernet adapters, either Intel or Broadcom network processor based? |
| A1. |
Yes, the NC340T can be teamed with other NC-series Ethernet adapters. The ProLiant teaming software is common across the NC-series of Ethernet adapters. HP has further developed an intermediate driver that allows "heterogeneous teaming." Heterogeneous teaming permits both Intel and Broadcom network processor based adapters within the same team.
|
|
| Q2. |
Can the NC340T be used in standard 64/66, 64/33, and 32/33 PCI slots? |
| A2. |
Yes, a PCI-based server investment is protected by the NC340T being compatible with existing PCI architecture. Performance of the NC340T in PCI slots will be limited to the maximum throughput allowed by conventional PCI slots.
|
|
| Q3. |
What management solutions are available for the NC340T? |
| A3. |
The NC340T supports the HP Insight software, including:
- SmartStart - intelligent integration tool that simplifies the process of installing and configuring ProLiant systems.
- HP Systems Insight Manager - comprehensive systems management tools designed to provide proactive and industry leading predicative fault and performance management.
- Intelligent Network Pack - optional software package allowing ProLiant servers to intelligently change the network path to achieve maximum reliability and performance and also reduce virus threats before they spread to the entire network.
|
|
| Q4. |
What is the warranty of the NC340T? |
| A4. |
The NC340T carries the greater of a one-year limited warranty or the remaining warranty of the HP product in which it is installed (to a maximum three-year, limited warranty).
