. . Overview
. .
. .
The NC3133, when plugged into a NC3131, adds a 100 Mbps Fast Ethernet network connection over fiber optic cable
. .
. .
for server backbones and campus-wide connectivity. This upgrade module is ideal for sites with extended distance
. .
. . requirements, the need for added security, or EMI protection.

32-bit Bus-mastering
. .
. .
. .
The NC3133 offers the highest level 100 Mbps data transfer method available between the network and 32-bit slots
. .
. . for high performance and low CPU utilization. The NC3133 uses bus-mastering technology to maximize throughput
. .
and minimize CPU utilization.
. .
. .
. .
Port Bonding
. .
. .
. .
Adaptive Load Balancing (ALB) and Cisco's Fast EtherChannel are two port bonding methods supported by the
. .
NC3133. ALB provides both failover and balancing of transmit traffic across all NICs for increased performance. For
. .
. .
even higher performance, Cisco's Fast EtherChannel provides port failover and balancing of transmit and receive
. .
. .
traffic across all NICs when used with a Fast EtherChannel enabled switch.

Network Fault Tolerance (NFT)
. .
. .
. .
NFT support, sometimes called "NIC Redundancy" or "failover," enables the NIC to keep an active connection if
. .
. .
another NIC, switch or hub link fails by automatically switching to a backup NIC.
. .
. .
PCI Hot Plug
. .
. .
. .
The NC3133 includes PCI Hot Plug support, which enables it to be replaced or added to a server without powering
. .
. . down the system. This feature provides increased system availability and non-stop serviceability in business-critical
. .
computing environments.
