Spare Part# 284848-001/FE-21152-01
Network
Management
Auto-negotiation
The NC7770 automatically senses and configures itself to
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 Compaq server adapters, the NC7770 ships with
drivers and agents that can be managed from all versions of
Compaq Insight Manager, including the new Compaq Insight
Manger 7, as well as using any management application that
supports SNMP.
Server Integration
Compaq's SmartStart configuration utility includes setup
support for the NC7770 so the adapter can be configured as
part of the SmartStart configuration process. Compaq
Insight Manager can recognize the NC7770 individually or in
port-bonded teams, and can collect and report SNMP
statistics on the adapter events.
Integrated Management Log (IML) support is provided by
the NC7770 for critical event logging on Compaq servers.
Configuration Utilities
Each NC7770 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 (802.3ad static-mode configuration only) in the
Windows 2000 and Windows NT operating systems.
LED Indicators
Bracket LED indicators show link integrity, network
activity, and network speed for easy troubleshooting.
Scalability
and
Reliability Tri-Speed Support
Because the NC7770 supports both 10Mbps Ethernet and
100Mbps Fast Ethernet in addition to Gigabit Ethernet,
users are guaranteed end-to-end protocol support across
their enterprise. Like all Compaq server adapters, the
NC7770 adheres to open industry standards, insuring that it
will work seamlessly with any network devices that also
support IEEE standards.
PCI-X Support for Traditional PCI slots
PCI-X technology insures hardware investment protection
by retaining backward compatibility with the standard PCI
bus architecture at the device and driver level. When the
NC7770 is used in a 64/100, 64/66, 64/33, or 32/33 IO slot,
the performance is limited to the maximums of those
conventional bus architectures.
Network Fault Tolerance (NFT)
Network Fault Tolerance, sometimes called "failover" or
"NIC Redundancy," allows for the installation of multiple
NC7770 server adapters so that the active device can be
backed up by a redundant adapter to improve availability.
Compaq's 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.
PCI Hot Plug
The NC7770 ships with 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.

Description
===========
The Compaq NC7770 PCI-X Gigabit Server Adapter is the first in a new
generation of networking solutions to combine Gigabit Ethernet speed with
PCI-X bus technology. The NC7770 is a single port copper Gigabit server
adapter that runs over Category 5 (or better) twisted-pair cabling. Along
with all the advanced features that ProLiant customers have come to expect,
the NC7770 includes support for Jumbo Frames, Wake on LAN (WOL), Dual
Address Cycles (DAC), and Pre-Boot Execution environment (PXE).
The NC7770 supports 10/100/1000Mbps Ethernet speeds as well as a PCI-X
64-bit/133MHz data path, backwards compatible with existing PCI bus
architectures. This range of features enables Compaq customers to protect
their current hardware investment while also future-proofing their ProLiant
servers for the inevitable increase in networking throughput. Additionally,
the NC7770 ships with support for PCI Hot Plug, Network Fault Tolerance,
Load Balancing, Jumbo Frames, and various offload capabilities that improve
performance. These improvements in speed and throughput come at a
cost-effective price for environments using Category 5 (or better)
twisted-pair cabling. _Top of page_
