The four gigabit ports make the NC340T provides the greatest bandwidth in an NC-series Ethernet adapter, ideal for virtualization, server consolidation, network segmentation, and other ProLiant server applications requiring maximum throughput and port density. Each port uses a PCI-X 64-bit/133MHz interface behind a PCI-C bridge. For best performance, install the adapter in a 64-bit/133Mhz slot The 10/100/1000 Mb/s capability enables the NC340T to be used in Ethernet or Fast Ethernet legacy wiring plants, as well as for Gigabit environments. Tested and proven to meet demanding HP standards, the NC340T provides full driver support on a wide variety of ProLiant servers. The NC340T ships with teaming drivers for all major operating systems, teaming utilities, multiple VLAN tagging capability, configuration utilities, and support for the optional HP ProLiant Essentials Intelligent Network Pack that proactively adapts to changes in the network infrastructure.   Models Models Models Models HP NC340T PCI-X 4-port 1000T Gigabit Server Adapter 391661-B21 NC340T Kit contents NC340T Kit contents NC340T Kit contentsNC340T Kit contents HP NC340T PCI-X 4-port 1000T Gigabit Server Adapter CD containing drivers, user guide, installation and diagnostic utilities Quick install card Product warranty statement DA - 12419   North America — Version 2 — March 24, 2006 Page 1 QuickSpecs HP NC340T PCI-X 4-port 1000T Gigabit Server Adapter HP NC340T PCI-X 4-port 1000T Gigabit Server Adapter HP NC340T PCI-X 4-port 1000T Gigabit Server Adapter HP NC340T PCI-X 4-port 1000T Gigabit Server Adapter Overview Standard Features Standard Features Standard Features Standard Features Server Support Server Support Server SupportServer Support HP ProLiant DL140 G2 HP ProLiant DL145 G2 HP ProLiant DL320 G4 HP ProLiant DL360 G4 HP ProLiant DL360 G4p HP ProLiant DL380 G4 HP ProLiant DL385 HP ProLiant DL580 G3 HP ProLiant DL585 HP ProLiant ML350 G4 HP ProLiant ML350 G4p HP ProLiant ML370 G4 HP ProLiant ML570 G3 Performance Performance Performance Performance Quad-port Gigabit Quad-port Gigabit Quad-port Gigabit Quad-port Gigabit Up to 1000Mbps Ethernet transfer rate deliver outstanding network performance that improves response Ethernet Throughput Ethernet Throughput Ethernet Throughput Ethernet Throughputtime and removes bottlenecks across the entire network. Four ports on a single adapter is ideal for high density, I/O slot constrained servers, virtualization applications, and increased network segmentation. In addition to Gigabit Ethernet, the NC340T network adapter (NIC) supports both 10Mbps and 100Mbps providing compatibility with Ethernet and Fast Ethernet twisted pair networks. Jumbo frames Jumbo frames Jumbo framesJumbo frames Jumbo frames (also known as extended frames) permit a 9K byte transmission unit (MTU), which is six times the size of standard 1500 byte Ethernet frame. The NC340T supports jumbo frames as a way to achieve higher throughput and better CPU utilization. Jumbo frames are particularly useful for database transfers and tape backups. 802.1Q VLANs with 802.1Q VLANs with 802.1Q VLANs with 802.1Q VLANs with IEEE 802.1Q virtual local area network (VLAN) protocol allows each physical port of the NC340T to be 802.1p QoS tagging 802.1p QoS tagging 802.1p QoS tagging 802.1p QoS taggingseparated into multiple virtual NICs for added network segmentation and enhanced security and performance. VLANs increase security by isolating traffic between users. Limiting the broadcast traffic to within the same VLAN domain also improves performance. IEEE quality of service (QoS) 802.1p tagging allows the adapter to mark or tag frames with a priority level across a QoS-aware network for improved traffic flow. TCP/IP Offloading TCP/IP Offloading TCP/IP Offloading TCP/IP OffloadingThe offload capabilities of the NC340T improve network performance by offloading functions from the server's processor to the network adapter. TCP checksum offload is responsible for reducing the load on the server processor for overall improved system response. Large send offload or LSO (also called TCP segmentation offload) allows the adapter to offload large TCP packets for segmentation for improved system performance. Interrupt coalescence Interrupt coalescence Interrupt coalescenceInterrupt coalescence Interrupt coalescence groups multiple packets and issues a single interrupt to the host server. This process optimizes host efficiency, providing a further means to leave the server CPU available for other duties. Without interrupt coalescence, each packet is forwarded to the host CPU causing it to temporarily stop processing other applications to process the packet.

High Availability High Availability High Availability High Availability ProLiant Essentials ProLiant Essentials ProLiant Essentials ProLiant Essentials The NC340T supports the optional and cost effective HP ProLiant Essentials Intelligent Networking Pack upgrade upgrade upgrade upgrade(INP). This advanced network option maximizes availability and performance by proactively gathering information on the state of the network infrastructure to steer traffic to the most efficient port and by selecting the network path that provides greatest bandwidth. Also included in INP, Virus Throttle is designed to reduce virus threats before they spread to the entire network. More information on INP is available at the ProLiant Essentials home page. Network Adapter Teaming Network Adapter Teaming Network Adapter TeamingNetwork Adapter Teaming ProLiant Network Adapter Teaming provides fault tolerance and load balancing across a team of two or more network adapters. The team of adapters works together as a single virtual adapter. Support for several different types of teaming is included. Optional advanced teaming capabilities are further supported through the ProLiant Essentials Intelligent Networking Pack. The teaming options offer IT professionals an easy, efficient, and cost-effective way to provide network fault tolerance and increased network bandwidth. For more information, see the ProLiant Network Adapter Teaming home page.

Network Management Network Management Network Management Network Management Auto-negotiation Auto-negotiation Auto-negotiation Auto-negotiationThe NC340T 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 connected to the adapter. Management Support Management Support Management Support Management Support Like all HP server adapters, the NC340T ships with drivers and agents that can be managed from HP Systems Insight Manager, as well as using any other management application that supports SNMP. HP Systems Insight Manager can recognize the NC340T individually or in teams, and can collect and report SNMP statistics on the adapter events. Server Integration Server Integration Server Integration Server IntegrationThe NC340T is a completely integrated, tested, and qualified solution that is optimized for HP servers. HP validates a wide variety of major operating systems drivers with the full suite of web-based enterprise management utilities and ProLiant Essentials (including SmartStart and HP Systems Insight Manager) that simplify network management. Integrated Management Log (IML) support is provided by the NC340T for critical event logging on HP servers. This approach provides a more robust and reliable networking solution than offerings from other venders and provides users with a single point of contact for both their servers and their network adapters.

This includes a patented teaming GUI for Microsoft Windows operating systems. Additionally, support for scripted installations of teams in a Microsoft Windows environment allow for unattended OS installations. LED Indicators LED Indicators LED IndicatorsLED Indicators Bracket LED indicators show link integrity, network activity, and network speed for easy troubleshooting. WOL WOL WOLWOL The NC340T provides Wake-on-LAN (WOL) support allowing an administrator to remotely power on a WOL-capable server. When the server powers down, the NC340T maintains power through an alternate source and continuously monitors the network for a special wake-up packet. When the adapter receives the special packet created for its MAC address, the NC340T instructs the server to power on. PXE PXE PXEPXE Support for pre-boot execution environment (PXE) enables automatic deployment of computing resources remotely from anywhere. It allows a new or existing server to boot over the network and download software, including the operating system, from a management/ deployment server at another location on the network. Additionally, PXE enables decentralized software distribution and remote troubleshooting and repairs.
