Description
===========
The Compaq NC6136 Gigabit Server Adapter is a stand-alone, single port,
64-bit / 66MHz PCI Gigabit (1000BASE-SX ) Ethernet adapter. It uses
fiber-optic cable that provides failover capabilities with other Gigabit and
10/100 adapters installed in a server. The NC6136 strengthens Compaq's
Gigabit server adapter offerings by providing a single port 1000 Mbps
Ethernet connection for 32- and 64-bit slots in fiber-optic environments,
where security, distance requirements, and EMI protection are of paramount
importance. The NC6136 Gigabit Server Adapter is a supported option on all
models of Compaq ProLiant departmental and enterprise servers.
The NC6136 Gigabit NIC offers the highest data transfer method available
between a network and a server for high performance and low CPU utilization.
The NC6136 operates in 32-bit or 64-bit PCI slots and uses 33 or 66MHz
bus-mastering technology to maximize throughput and minimize CPU
utilization.
Transmit Load Balancing (TLB) and Switch-Assisted Load Balancing
(FEC/GEC/802.3ad static-mode configuration only) are two port-bonding
methods that are supported by the NC6136. 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 (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 NC6136, 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.
The NC6136 supports Interrupt Coalescence in all the major OS environments,
reducing CPU utilization. The NC6136 also supports Receive and Transmit TCP
Checksum Offloading, as well as Transmit IP Checksum Offloading under
Windows 2000.
The Network Fault Tolerance (NFT) feature of the NC6136 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 NC6136
can be configured to fail over to any NC31xx, NC61xx, or NC71xx adapter by
using the latest Compaq drivers.
The NC6136 also 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.
The Compaq NC6136 Gigabit Server Adapter features delay and reduction of
transmit interrupts; EEPROM interface, including loadable configuration
space fields; and elimination of receive buffer alignment requirements. The
adapter supports emerging standards for system manageability and power
management, such as Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI).
