HP 435508-B21 User instructions

The HP NC364T PCI Express Quad-Port Gigabit Server Adapter features four 10/100/1000T Gigabit Ethernet ports on a single
card, saving valuable server I/O slots for other purposes. The four ports provide the highest port density available for ProLiant
servers in a single PCI Express network adapter. The NC364T is ideal for virtualization, security, server consolidation, network
segmentation, and other ProLiant server applications requiring maximum throughput and port density. The total aggregate
throughput of 4Gbps meets the needs for customers desiring high bandwidth but are not yet ready to move to 10 Gigabit Ethernet.
The NC364T is a low-profile card with both full height and half height brackets included in the kit. The x4 PCI Express interface is
compatible with x4, x8, and x16 PCI slots.
Tested and proven to meet demanding HP standards, the NC364T provides full driver support on a wide variety of ProLiant servers.
The adapter ships with teaming drivers for all major operating systems, teaming utilities, multiple VLAN tagging capability,
configuration utilities, and support for the optional HP ProLiant Essentials Intelligent Network Pack that proactively adapts to changes
in the network infrastructure.

Ethernet Throughput
Ethernet ThroughputEthernet Throughput
Ethernet Throughput
With a theoretical throughput of 10 Gbps each direction, the x4 PCI Express bus is more than capable of
supporting the NC364T's four gigabit ports. Up to 1000 Mbps Ethernet transfer rate per port (4000
Mbps combined) delivers outstanding network performance designed to improve response time and
remove bottlenecks across the entire network. Four ports on a single adapter are ideal for high density,
I/O slot constrained servers, virtualization and security, applications, server consolidation, and increased
network segmentation. The total aggregate throughput of 4Gbps also meets the needs for customers
desiring high bandwidth but are not yet ready to move to 10 Gigabit Ethernet.
NOTE:
NOTE:NOTE:
NOTE: Port enumeration on the NC364T 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 #4
Jumbo Frames
Jumbo FramesJumbo Frames
Jumbo Frames Jumbo frames (also known as extended frames) permit a 9K byte transmission unit (MTU), which is six
times the size of standard 1500 byte Ethernet frame. The NC364T supports jumbo frames as a way to
achieve higher throughput and better CPU utilization. Jumbo frames are particularly useful for database
transfers and tape backups.

802.1p QoS Tagging802.1p QoS Tagging
802.1p QoS Tagging
IEEE 802.1Q virtual local area network (VLAN) protocol allows each physical port of the NC364T to be
separated into multiple virtual NICs for added network segmentation and enhanced security and
performance. VLANs increase security by isolating traffic between users. Limiting the broadcast traffic to
within the same VLAN domain also improves performance. IEEE quality of service (QoS) 802.1p tagging
allows the adapter to mark or tag frames with a priority level across a QoS-aware network for improved
traffic flow.

Offloading
OffloadingOffloading
Offloading
For overall improved system response, the NC325m supports standard TCP/IP offloading techniques
including:
TCP/IP checksum offload (TCO) moves the TCP and IP checksum offloading from the CPU to the
network adapter.
Large send offload (LSO) or TCP segmentation offload (TSO) allows the TCP segmentation to be
handled by the adapter rather than the CPU.
Interrupt Coalescence
Interrupt CoalescenceInterrupt Coalescence
Interrupt Coalescence Interrupt coalescing (interrupt moderation) groups multiple packets, thereby reducing the number of
interrupts sent to the host. This process optimizes host efficiency, leaving the CPU available for other
duties.
Dual Address Cycles
Dual Address CyclesDual Address Cycles
Dual Address Cycles Dual address cycles (DAC) provide the ability to address memory above 4 GB and improve system
performance by preventing the server operating system from performing a buffer copy from below 4 GB
to above 4 GB.

Teaming
ProLiant Network Adapter Teaming provides fault tolerance and load balancing across a team of two or
more network adapters. The team of adapters works together as a single virtual adapter. Support for
several different types of teaming is included. Optional advanced teaming capabilities are further
supported through the ProLiant Essentials Intelligent Networking Pack.
The teaming options offer IT professionals an easy, efficient, and cost-effective way to provide network
fault tolerance and increased network bandwidth. For more information, see the ProLiant Network

Auto-negotiation
Auto-negotiationAuto-negotiation
Auto-negotiation The NC364T automatically senses 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 connected
to the adapter.
Management Support
Management SupportManagement Support
Management Support Like all HP server adapters, the NC364T ships with drivers and agents that can be managed from HP
Systems Insight Manager, as well as using any other management application that supports SNMP. HP
Systems Insight Manager can recognize the NC364T individually or in teams, and can collect and report
SNMP statistics on the adapter events.
Server Integration
Server IntegrationServer Integration
Server Integration The NC364T is a completely integrated, tested, and qualified solution that is optimized for HP servers.
HP validates a wide variety of major operating systems drivers with the full suite of web-based enterprise
management utilities and ProLiant Essentials (including SmartStart and HP Systems Insight Manager) that
simplify network management. Integrated Management Log (IML) support is provided by the NC364T for
critical event logging on HP servers.
This approach provides a more robust and reliable networking solution than offerings from other venders
and provides users with a single point of contact for both their servers and their network adapters.
Configuration Utilities
Configuration UtilitiesConfiguration Utilities
Configuration Utilities Each NC364T ships with a suite of operating system-tailored configuration utilities that allow the user to
enable initial diagnostics and configure adapter teaming. This includes a patented teaming GUI for
Microsoft Windows operating systems. Additionally, support for scripted installations of teams in a
Microsoft Windows environment allow for unattended OS installations.
LED Indicators
LED IndicatorsLED Indicators
LED Indicators Per port bracket LED indicators show link integrity, network activity, and network speed for easy

WOL
WOLWOL
WOL The NC364T provides Wake-on-LAN (WOL) support on Port 1 allowing an administrator to remotely
power on a WOL-capable server. When the server powers down, the NC364T maintains power through
an alternate source and continuously monitors the network for a special wake-up packet. When the
adapter receives the special packet created for its MAC address, the NC364T instructs the server to
power on.
PXE
PXEPXE
PXE Support for pre-boot execution environment (PXE) enables automatic deployment of computing resources
remotely from anywhere. It allows a new or existing server to boot over the network and download
software, including the operating system, from a management/ deployment server at another location on
the network. Additionally, PXE enables decentralized software distribution and remote troubleshooting
and repairs.
