HP Flex-10 technology significantly reduces infrastructure costs by increasing the number of NICs
per connection without adding extra blade I/O modules, and reducing cabling uplinks to the data
center network. The HP Virtual Connect Flex-10 10Gb Ethernet Module for c-Class BladeSystem is
an innovative, new class of integrated interconnects from HP.
Supports up to 4 FlexNIC connections per 10Gb link
Fine tune each FlexNIC speed from 100Mb to 10Gb based on the application needs.
The simplest, most flexible connection to your Fiber and copper Ethernet networks.
A new class of blade interconnect that simplifies server connections by cleanly separating the
server enclosure from LAN, simplifies networks by reducing cables without adding switches to
manage, and allows you to change servers in just minutes, not days.

The QLogic QMH4062 1GbE iSCSI Adapter is a dual port fully integrated Gigabit Ethernet iSCSI
target mezzanine optimized for iSCSI traffic from an c-Class ProLiant server. It is an alternative to
less integrated iSCSI offerings and often more costly non TCP/IP implementations. Designed for
ultimate performance, the QMH4062 provides full stateful offloading of iSCSI and TCP/IP traffic
for both Microsoft Windows and Linux. The adapter supports iSCSI boot certification for VMware
ESX Server 3.5 and ESXi 3.5. The QMH4062 is IPv6 compliant providing an end-to-end IPv6
solution when using either a Cisco Catalyst Blade Switch 3120 for HP with the IPv6 software
upgrade or the Ethernet Pass-Thru.
The NC512m is a dual port 10 Gigabit Ethernet network server adapter supporting stateful TCP
offloading. It offers the highest bandwidth available in a ProLiant Ethernet c-Class adapter. Two
NC512m adapter is supported on all ProLiant c-Class servers in mezzanine slot 2 or 3 (full height
servers) and slot 2 (half height servers) providing up to sixty-four (64) 10 Gigabit Ethernet adapter
ports per c7000 enclosure and thirty-two (32) per c3000 enclosure.
The NC382m adapter is supported on all HP BladeSystem ProLiant c-Class servers in all
mezzanine slots. Multiple adapters can be installed per server.
The NC373m is a dual port Multifunction Gigabit Ethernet adapter supporting TOE (TCP/IP
Offload Engine) for Microsoft Windows and accelerated iSCSI (Internet Small Computer System
Interface) The Multifunction capabilities permit a unified fabric combining accelerated networking,
storage, and clustering over a single network connection.
The HP NC364m is a quad port network adapter providing four Gigabit Ethernet ports on a single
card saving valuable server mezzanine slots for other purposes. The x4 PCI Express NC364m is
supported on both HP Integrity and ProLiant c-Class servers in all mezzanine slots.
The HP NC360m is a dual port 1 GbE BL-c network adapter providing two Gigabit Ethernet ports
on a single mezzanine card. The NC360m is designed for applications requiring additional
Gigabit Ethernet ports than those provided on the server.
Like the NC360m, the NC326m is a dual port Gigabit Ethernet adapter designed for applications
requiring additional Gigabit Ethernet ports than those provided on the server. The NC326m has a
Broadcom controller where as the NC360m has an Intel controller giving customer a choice of the
network controller manufacturer.
Like the NC364m, the NC325m is a quad port Gigabit Ethernet adapter providing the highest
port density available for BladeSystem servers in a single adapter. The NC325m , as well as the
