PCI Hot Plug support enables the NC310F to be replaced or added to a PCI Hot Plug compatible server

without powering down the system.

The NC310F is a completely integrated, tested, and validated solution that is optimized for HP servers.

HP integrates, tests, and validates 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. This approach provides a more robust and reliable

networking solution than offerings from other venders. Furthermore, users have a single point of contact

for both their servers and their network adapters.

The NC310F includes drivers and agents that can be managed from all versions of HP Systems Insight

Manager and other SNMP-based management systems. HP Systems Insight Manager can recognize the

NC310F individually or in NFT, TLB, and SLB teams, and can collect and report SNMP statistics on the

adapter events. Integrated Management Log (IML) support is provided by the NC310F for critical event

logging on HP servers.

Each NC310F ships with a set of utilities that allow the user to:

Enable initial diagnostics within Windows, Linux, Netware, and DOS operating systems.

Configure network adapter teaming in a Windows environment. The Windows adapter teaming

configuration utility includes a patented teaming GUI for Microsoft Windows 2000 and 2003

operating systems. Support for scripted installations of teams in a Microsoft Windows environment

allow for unattended OS installations.

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.

Bracket LED indicators show link integrity and network activity for easy troubleshooting.
