Gigabit Module 1000 LX
Upgrade Module for NC3131
338456-B24
With this Gigabit upgrade
module for the NC3131 Fast
Ethernet NIC, Compaq is the
first to introduce an industry-
standard, long haul, scaleable
transition path from Ethernet to
Fast Ethernet to Bonded Fast
Ethernet to Gigabit.

. . Overview
. .
. .
With the Compaq NC6133 Gigabit Module, Compaq offers the industry's first long haul Gigabit NIC. The modular
. .
. .
approach allows a Gigabit network connection to be added to the server without having to replace the NIC. The
. .
. . NC6133, when added to an existing NC3131 provides three high-speed network connections through one PCI slot.
. .
. .
. .
. . The 1000 LX upgrade module provides a scaleable transition for environments with distances requiring up to 5000
. .
meters.

32/64-bit Bus-mastering
. .
. .
. . The NC6133 offers the highest data transfer method available between a network and a server for high performance
. .
and low CPU utilization. The NC6133 operates in 32- or 64-bit PCI slots and uses bus-mastering technology to
. .
. .
maximize throughput and minimize CPU utilization.
. .
. .
. .
Port Bonding
. .
. .
Adaptive Load Balancing (ALB) and Cisco's Gigabit EtherChannel are two port bonding methods supported by the
. .
. .
NC6133. ALB provides both failover and balancing of transmit traffic across all NICs for increased performance. For
. .
. .
even higher performance, Cisco's Gigabit EtherChannel provides port failover and balancing of transmit and receive
. .
traffic across all NICs.

Network Fault Tolerance (NFT)
. .
. .
. .
NFT support, sometimes called "NIC Redundancy" or "failover," enables the NIC to keep an active link if another NIC,
. .
switch or hub link fails by automatically switching to a backup NIC.
. .
. .
. .
PCI Hot Plug
. .
. .
. . The NC6133 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.
