Description
===========
With the Compaq NC6132 Gigabit Upgrade Module, Compaq offers the industry's
only modular approach to adding a Gigabit network connection to servers
without having to replace the base adapter.
The NC6132 is a 1000 SX Upgrade Module for the NC3134 and NC3131 Fast
Ethernet adapters. This upgrade module provides a scalable transition from
Ethernet to Fast Ethernet or Bonded Fast Ethernet to Gigabit and provides
three high-speed network connections through one server slot.
*Performance 32-/64-bit Bus-mastering*
The NC6132 offers the highest data transfer method available between a
network and a server for high performance and low CPU utilization. The
NC6132 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 NC6132. 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 NC6132, 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, the NC6132 uses the system
resources to automatically configure its memory and interrupt settings.
*Security/Reliability Network Fault Tolerance (NFT)*
The Network Fault Tolerance feature of the NC6132 ensures that the server
can always keep an active link. Using either of the ports on the base
adapter or 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 NC6132 can be configured to fail
over to any NC31xx, NX61xx, or NC71xx adapter by using the latest drivers.
*PCI Hot Plug*
The NC6132 includes PCI Hot Plug support that enables PCI networking
controllers 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. The NC6132 plugs into the NC3134 or NC3131 Fast Ethernet
adapters without requiring any tools.
*Network Management Standards-based*
The NC6132 supports the following Compaq Management tools and industry
network management standards:
Compaq Insight Manager
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
NC6132 so that it can be configured as part of the SmartStart configuration
process. Compaq Insight Manager or Compaq Insight Manager XE can recognize
the NC6132 individually or in port bonded teams, and can collect and report
SNMP statistics on the server adapter events. Compaq Network Management
System (CNMS) can also collect and report SNMP statistics on server adapter
events.
Integrated Management Log (IML) support is provided by the NC6132 for
critical event logging on Compaq servers.
*Configuration Utilities*
Each NC6132 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*
For each port, LED Indicators show link integrity and network activity
"at-a-glance" for easy troubleshooting. For more information see the
Reference Guide.
