Network Controller
Network ControllerNetwork Controller
Network Controller Four (4) embedded network adapter ports, plus one (1) additional management port consisting of:
One (1) embedded NC326i Dual Port Gigabit Server Adapter
Two (2) embedded NC373i Multifunction Gigabit Server Adapters
One (1) embedded 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.
Once the adapter signal reaches the interconnect within the blade enclosure and communicates outside
the blade enclosure to the LAN, the blade interconnect uplink types and settings determine the cable
media, speed, duplex mode, and auto negotiation mode.
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 accelerates iSCSI 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 environments.
The iSCSI network boot (iSCSI boot) allows the BL685c to boot from a remote operating system
(OS) image located on a storage area network (SAN) within a Microsoft Windows and Linux
environment. The BL685c uses an iSCSI firmware image (iSCSI boot option ROM) making the
remote disk drive appear as a local, bootable C: drive. The BL685c 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. Additionally, 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.
