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.

PER FORMANCE

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.

SECUR ITY/RELIABILITY

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.

NET WORK MANAGEMENT

Standards-based

The NC6133 supports the following industry network management standards to work with a broad spectrum of
software utilities.

• SNMP

• DMI 2.0

• Web-Based Enterprise Management (WBEM)

EASE OF USE

Plug and Play

Fully compliant with the 2.1 PCI specification, the NC6133 uses the system resources to automatically configure its
memory and interrupt settings.

Server Integration

Compaq’s SmartStart® configuration utility includes setup support for the NC6133 so it can be configured as part of
the SmartStart configuration process. Compaq Insight Manager
(CNMS) can collect and report SNMP statistics on NIC events.

Integrated Management Log (IML) support is provided by the NC6133 for critical event logging on Compaq servers.
LEDs show link integrity and network activity for easy troubleshooting.

The CPQNTAC (Compaq Network Teaming and Configuration) utility allows the user to run initial diagnostics and
configure NIC teams for Network Fault Tolerance, Adaptive Load Balancing or Cisco Gigabit EtherChannel (when
used with a Gigabit EtherChannel-enabled switch)

Diagnostic LEDs

LEDs show link integrity and network activity at a glance for easy troubleshooting.

Compaq Total Solutions

The NC6133 provides a 1000 Mbps LX network connection between servers and the Compaq SW5411, SW5425,
SW5450 and the GIGAswitch/Router. By integrating these Compaq solutions throughout a network, users can apply
the complete set of Compaq management tools across their enterprise.
