Once the adapter signal reaches the interconnect within the blade enclosure and communicates
outside the blade enclosure to the LAN, the blade interconnect uplink types and settings
determine the cable media, speed, duplex mode, and auto negotiation mode. Interconnects are
available with Ethernet uplinks supporting 10/100/1000T, 10/100/1000 SFP, 1000 SX fiber, and

Manageability
The embedded multifunction NC373i combines standard Gigabit Ethernet networking, TCP/IP
offload engine (TOE) for Microsoft Windows and Linux iSCSI boot capability into a single adapter.
TOE moves the processing of data in the TCP protocol stack from the server CPU to the
network card, freeing CPU cycles for other activities. With TOE, network communications
are improved, and server efficiency is increased. The NC373i offers TOE for Microsoft®
Windows 2000 and 2003 environments.
The Linux iSCSI network boot (iSCSI boot) allows the BL460c to boot from a remote
operating system (OS) image located on a storage area network (SAN) within a Ref Hat or
SUSE Linux environment. The BL460c uses an iSCSI firmware image (iSCSI boot option
ROM) making the remote disk drive appear as a local, bootable C: drive. The BL460c is
configured to connect to and boot from the iSCSI target disk on the network and download
the OS image from the iSCSI target disk. The iSCSI boot option ROM is supplied by HP at
no cost. The additional cost and mezzanine slot usage of an add-in iSCSI HBA card is not
required. Additionally, the HP iSCSI boot solution includes scripts to significantly simplify the
installation process.
