Overview

The HP NC364T PCI Express Quad Port Gigabit Server Adapter is a high-performance, low-profile,

Quad-Port PCI Express Ethernet adapter that delivers up to 1000 Mb/s Ethernet over twisted-pair (copper)

category 5 or better cabling. It is powered by an Intel 82571EB chipset. The NC364T adapter, which

ships with a standard-height chassis bracket and also includes a low-profile chassis bracket, has a fully

integrated controller capable of auto-negotiating a link at 10, 100, or 1000 Mb/s. Network connection

is made through the four RJ-45 connectors. LED indicators show the link speed and activity. See LED

indicators (on page 6) for details. The adapter is a supported option for selected HP ProLiant servers. The

adapter must be installed in a PCI Express slot.

For the latest functionality, features, and operating system support for this adapter, see the HP website

UTP CAT5 cable

The NC364T adapter can use existing UTP CAT5 (or better) cable to deliver Gigabit Ethernet over

copper, according to the IEEE 802.3ab specifications. For new installations, CAT5e (enhanced CAT5)

cable is recommended.

For troubleshooting and other information about cabling, see UTP Cable Specifications (on page 12).
