HPE NC382T - Network adapter - PCIe x4 - GigE - 1000Base-T - 2 ports - for ProLiant DL165 G7, DL360 G7, DL370 G6, DL380 G6, DL380 G7, DL385 G6, DL580 G5, ML370 G6

Key Features and Benefits:

• 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 protocol offloading
  TCP/IP Offload Engine (TOE) for Windows 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 NC382T supports TOE when Windows TOE Chimney is installed. With TOE, network communications are improved, and server efficiency is increased.
• Accelerated iSCSI
  Accelerated iSCSI allows the NC382T to multi-function both as a network adapter and as a storage host bus adapter, thereby providing access to storage boxes and to servers over a single connection. Additionally, the NC382T offloads the iSCSI software to the hardware for improved performance.
• 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 install up to two NC382T adapters in a ProLiant server and aggregate their throughput up to a theoretical maximum of four Gigabits per second full-duplex transmission. The NC382T can be configured to work with other NC-series Ethernet server adapter teams supported on ProLiant servers.
• Checksum and segmentation offloads and interrupt coalescing
  The NC382T 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.
• Tri-speed support
  Because the NC382T supports 10Mbps Ethernet and 100Mbps Fast Ethernet in addition to Gigabit Ethernet, users are guaranteed end-to-end protocol support across their enterprise. Like all HP server adapters, the NC382T adheres to industry open standards, insuring that it will perform seamlessly with any network devices that also support IEEE standards.
• Network Fault Tolerance (NFT)
  Network Fault Tolerance, sometimes called "failover" or "NIC redundancy", allows for the installation of multiple NC382T 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.
• Auto-negotiation
  The NC382T 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 at the other end of the cable.
• Management support
  Like all HP server adapters, the NC382T 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 NC382T 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 NC382T for critical event logging on HP servers.
• Configuration utilities
  Each NC382T ships with a set of utilities that allow the user to: enable initial diagnostics within Windows, Linux, and DOS operating systems. Configure network adapter teaming in a Windows environment. The Windows adapter teaming configuration utility includes a patented teaming GUI for Microsoft Windows 2008 and 2003 operating systems. Support for scripted installations of teams in a Microsoft Windows environment allow for unattended OS installations.
• LED indicators
  Bracket LED indicators show link integrity, network activity, and port speed for easy troubleshooting.
