Introduction

IntroductionIntroduction

With the Compaq NC6132 Gigabit Upgrade Module, Compaq offers the industry's only modular approach to adding a Gigabit network connection to servers without having to replace the base adapter. The NC6132 is a 1000 SX Upgrade Module for the NC3134 and NC3131 Fast Ethernet adapters. This upgrade module provides a scalable transition from Ethernet to Fast Ethernet or Bonded Fast Ethernet to Gigabit and provides three high-speed network connections through one server slot.

Performance

32-/64-bit Bus-mastering

32-/64-bit Bus-mastering32-/64-bit Bus-mastering

The NC6132 offers the highest data transfer method available between a network and a server for high performance and low CPU utilization. The NC6132 operates in 32- or 64-bit PCI slots and uses bus-mastering technology to maximize throughput and minimize CPU utilization.

Port Bonding

Port BondingPort Bonding

Transmit Load Balancing (TLB) and Switch-Assisted Load Balancing (FEC/GEC/802.3ad static-mode configuration only) are two port-bonding methods supported by the NC6132. TLB provides both failover and balancing of transmit traffic across all adapters for increased performance. For even higher performance, Switch-Assisted Load Balancing (SLB) provides port failover and balancing of both transmit and receive traffic across all adapters when connected to a switch that supports this feature.

Jumbo Frames

Jumbo FramesJumbo Frames

Jumbo Frames (also known as Extended Frames) offer a 9K byte Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU), which is six times the size of traditional Ethernet frames. Like all Compaq Gigabit server adapters, the NC6132, supports jumbo frames as a way to achieve higher throughput and better CPU utilization when deploy in a network infrastructure that supports them. Jumbo frames are particularly useful for database transfers and tape backups.

Security/Reliability

Network Fault Tolerance (NFT)

Network Fault Tolerance (NFT)Network Fault Tolerance (NFT)

The Network Fault Tolerance feature of the NC6132 ensures that the server can always keep an active link. Using either of the ports on the base adapter or after installing a second, compatible adapter, if the primary network connection fails, the second, backup adapter will automatically take over, retaining the network connection. The NC6132 can be configured to fail over to any NC31xx, NX61xx, or NC71xx adapter by using the latest drivers.

PCI Hot Plug

PCI Hot PlugPCI Hot Plug

The NC6132 includes PCI Hot Plug support that enables PCI networking controllers to be replaced or added to a PCI Hot Plug compatible server without powering down the system. This feature provides increased system availability and non-stop serviceability in business-critical computing environments. The NC6132 plugs into the NC3134 or NC3131 Fast Ethernet adapters without requiring any tools.

Server Integration

Server IntegrationServer Integration

Compaq's SmartStart configuration utility includes setup support for the NC6132 so that it can be configured as part of the SmartStart configuration process. Compaq Insight Manager or Compaq Insight Manager XE can recognize the NC6132 individually or in port bonded teams, and can collect and report SNMP statistics on the server adapter events. Compaq Network Management System (CNMS) can also collect and report SNMP statistics on server adapter events. Integrated Management Log (IML) support is provided by the NC6132 for critical event logging on Compaq servers.

Configuration Utilities

Configuration UtilitiesConfiguration Utilities

Each NC6132 ships with a suite of OS-tailored configuration utilities that allow the user to run initial diagnostics and configure adapter teams for Network Fault Tolerance, Transmit Load Balancing, or Switch-Assisted Load Balancing (FEC/GEC/802.3ad static-mode configuration only) in the Windows 2000 and Windows NT operating systems.
