OVERVIEW
The NC6134 broadens Compaq's Gigabit adapter offerings by providing a single port 1000 SX connection for 32- and 64-bit PCI slots.
PERFORMANCE
32-/64-bit Bus-mastering
The NC6134 offers the highest data transfer method available between a network and a server for high performance and low CPU utilization. The NC6134
operates in 32- or 64-bit PCI slots and uses bus-mastering technology to maximize throughput and minimize CPU utilization.
Port Bonding
Transmit Load Balancing (TLB) and Switch-Assisted Load Balancing (FEC/GEC/802.3ad static-mode configuration only) are two port-bonding methods
supported by the NC6134. TLB provides both failover and balancing of transmit traffic across all adapters for increased performance. For even higher
performance, Switch-Assisted Load balancing (SLB) provides port failover and balancing of both transmit and receive traffic across all adapters when
connected to a switch that supports this feature.
Jumbo Frames
Jumbo Frames (also known as Extended Frames) offer a 9K byte Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU), which is six times the size of traditional Ethernet
frames. Like all Compaq Gigabit server adapters, the NC6134, supports jumbo frames as a way to achieve higher throughput and better CPU utilization
when deploy in a network infrastructure that supports them. Jumbo frames are particularly useful for database transfers and tape backups.

EASE OF USE
Plug and Play
Fully compliant with the 2.1 PCI specification, this NIC automatically configures its I/O address and interrupt (IRQ) settings for easy installation.
SECURITY/RELIABILITY
Network Fault Tolerance (NFT)
The Network Fault Tolerance feature of the NC6134 ensures that the server can always keep an active link. After installing a second, compatible adapter,
if the primary network connection fails, the second, backup adapter will automatically take over, retaining the network connection. The NC6134 can be
configured to fail over to any NC31xx, NC61xx, or C71xx adapter by using the latest drivers.
PCI Hot Plug
The NC6134 includes PCI Hot Plug support, which enables it to be replaced or added to a PCI Hot Plug compatible server without powering down the
system. This feature provides increased system availability and non-stop serviceability in business-critical computing environments.

Standards-based
The NC6134 supports the following Compaq Management tools and industry network management standards.
Compaq Insight ManagerTM
Compaq Insight Manager XE
SNMP
DMI 2.0
Web-Based Enterprise Management (WBEM)
Server Integration
Compaq's SmartStart configuration utility includes setup support for the NC6134 so the NIC can be configured as part of the SmartStart configuration
process. Compaq Insight Manager can recognize the NC6134 individually or in port bonded teams, and can collect and report SNMP statistics on the NIC
events. The Compaq Network Management System (CNMS) can also collect and report SNMP statistics on the NC6134.
Integrated Management Log (IML) support is provided by the NC6134 for critical event logging on Compaq servers.
Configuration Utilities
Each NC6134 ships with a suite of OS-tailored configuration utilities that allow the user to run initial diagnostics and configure adapter teams for Network
Fault Tolerance, Transmit Load Balancing, or Switch-Assisted Load Balancing (FEC/GEC/802.3ad static-mode configuration only) in the Windows 2000
and Windows NT operating systems.
Diagnostic LED Indicators
LEDs show link integrity and network activity for easy troubleshooting.
