Description
===========
Compaq ships the industry's only modular network interface controller that
provides a scalable transition path from Ethernet to Fast Ethernet to Bonded
Fast Ethernet to Gigabit network connections. The Compaq NC3134 Fast
Ethernet NIC includes two 10/100 Base-TX ports with optional upgrade modules
for two additional 10/100 Base-TX ports, a 100 FX port, or a Gigabit port.
The NC3134 provides a cost-effective transition for server NIC upgrades. Its
modular design enables additional fault-tolerant redundancy and
upgradability to higher network performance without having to replace the
base NIC. The NIC's dual ports allow customers to configure the NC3134 for
failover to achieve greater reliability or for various modes of port bonding
for greater performance. The modular design of the NC3134 enables uses to
upgrade to two additional 10/100 ports, a 100Mbps fiber port, or to Gigabit
Ethernet SX or LX.
Plug and Play compliant with the 2.2 PCI specification, this NIC
automatically configures its I/O address and interrupts (IRQ) settings for
easy installation. The NC3134 operating system drivers can be used for all
Compaq Intel-based 10 or 100 Mbps network connections. No driver change is
required when moving from 10 to 100 Mbps. Common drivers provide
consistency, easy management and support, and save money and time. With the
Compaq provided drivers, the NC3134 auto senses 10 or 100 Mbps and half- or
full-duplex operation and automatically configures to the highest common
network connection speed between the NIC and hub or switch port.
Efficient data transfer between the network and PC is essential for
high-performance and low CPU utilization. The NC3134 includes a 32/64-bit
PCI Universal Connector to work in either 32- or 64-bit bus slots, and it
supports both 33- and 66-MHz bus speeds. Adaptive Load Balancing (ALB) and
Cisco's Fast EtherChannel are two port bonding methods supported by the
NC3134. ALB provides both failover and balancing of transmit traffic across
NICs for increased performance. For even higher performance, Cisco's Fast
EtherChannel provides for switch-assisted port failover and balancing of
transmit and receive traffic across all NICs. The NC3134 uses bus-mastering
technology to maximize throughput and minimize CPU utilization.
The NC3134 supports Interrupt Coalescence in all the major OS environments,
reducing CPU utilization. The NC3134 also provides Receive Checksum Offload
capabilities when it runs in a Windows 2000 environment. Network Fault
Tolerance (NFT) feature, also known as "failover" and "NIC redundancy,"
enables the NC3134 to keep an active connection if a switch, NIC port, or
hub link fails by automatically switching to a backup NIC. The NC3134
includes PCI Hot Plug support that enables PCI network controllers 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.
