One (1) embedded NC326i Dual Port Gigabit Ethernet Server Adapter
Two (2) embedded NC373i Multifunction Gigabit Ethernet Server Adapters with TCP/IP Offload Engine,

One (1) additional 10/100 network adapter dedicated to iLO 2 Management
NOTE:
NOTE:NOTE:
NOTE: The Gigabit Ethernet adapters transmit from the server only at 2000 Mbps, full duplex per port.
However, within a Linux environment, the speed can be reduced or "throttled" using a feature available
within the Linux operating system; see the white paper at
http://h71028.www7.hp.com/ERC/downloads/4AA1-5513ENW.pdf for more information.
NOTE:
NOTE:NOTE:
NOTE: The iSCSI offload feature of the embedded multifunction adapter requires the HP Accelerated
iSCSI Pack. For more information, please see the QuickSpecs at:

Multifunction Networking
Multifunction NetworkingMultifunction Networking
Multifunction Networking The embedded multifunction NC373i combines standard Gigabit Ethernet networking, TCP/IP offload
engine (TOE) acceleration, iSCSI boot, and optional iSCSI acceleration into a single adapter.
TOE moves the processing of data in the TCP protocol stack from the server CPU to the network
card, freeing CPU cycles for other activities. With TOE, network communications are improved,
and server efficiency is increased. The NC373i offers TOE for Microsoft® Windows 2003
environments.
The iSCSI network boot (iSCSI boot) allows the BL685c G5 to boot from a remote operating
system (OS) image located on a storage area network (SAN) within a Red Hat or SUSE Linux
environment. The BL685c G5 uses an iSCSI firmware image (iSCSI boot option ROM) making the
remote disk drive appear as a local, bootable C: drive. The BL685c G5 is configured to connect
to and boot from the iSCSI target disk on the network and download the OS image from the iSCSI
target disk. The iSCSI boot option ROM is supplied by HP at no cost. The additional cost and
mezzanine slot usage of an add-in iSCSI HBA card is not required. Additionally, the HP iSCSI boot
solution includes scripts to significantly simplify the installation process.
