HP NC360m Dual Port 1GbE BL-c Adapter
Overview
The HP NC360m is a ProLiant c-Class BladeSystem network adapter providing two Gigabit Ethernet ports on a single mezzanine card
utilizing only a maximum of 1.6 watts. With the addition of the NC360m, ProLiant c-Class customers now have the choice of an HP dual
port network adapter that uses either an Intel or Broadcom controller. The NC360m is designed for applications requiring additional
Gigabit Ethernet ports than those provided on the server. It is ideal for virtualization, security, server consolidation, network
segmentation, and other BladeSystem applications requiring additional network port density.
Tested and proven to meet demanding BladeSystem standards, the NC360m ships with the advanced server features that ProLiant
customers have come to expect, such as support for failover and load balancing, TCP/IP checksum offloading, large send offloading,
Wake-on-LAN, jumbo frames, VLAN tagging, and much more.

TCP/IP Stateless
Offloading
Up to 2000 Mbps full duplex Ethernet transfer rate per port (4000 Mbps combined) delivers outstanding
network performance that improves response time and removes bottlenecks across the entire network.
Jumbo frames (also known as extended frames) permit a 9K byte transmission unit (MTU), which is six
times the size of standard 1500 byte Ethernet frame. The NC360m supports jumbo frames as a way to
achieve higher throughput and better CPU utilization. Jumbo frames are particularly useful for database
transfers and tape backups.
IEEE 802.1Q virtual local area network (VLAN) protocol allows each physical port of the NC360m to be
separated into multiple virtual NICs for added network segmentation and enhanced security and
performance. VLANs increase security by isolating traffic between users. Limiting the broadcast traffic to
within the same VLAN domain also improves performance. IEEE quality of service (QoS) 802.1p tagging
allows the adapter to mark or tag frames with a priority level across a QoS-aware network for improved
traffic flow.
For overall improved system response, the NC360m supports standard TCP/IP offloading techniques
including:

Redundant adapters
TCP/IP checksum offload (TCO) moves the TCP and IP checksum offloading from the CPU to the
network adapter.
Large send offload (LSO) or TCP segmentation offload (TSO) allows the TCP segmentation to be
handled by the adapter rather than the CPU.
Interrupt coalescing (interrupt moderation) groups multiple packets, thereby reducing the number of
interrupts sent to the host. This process optimizes host efficiency, leaving the CPU available for other
duties.
Dual address cycles (DAC) provide the ability to address memory above 4 GB and improve system
performance by preventing the server operating system from performing a buffer copy from below 4 GB to
above 4 GB.
The two ports on the NC360m are transmitted to separate enclosure interconnect bays providing
redundant signal paths.
With multiple dual port adapters supported per server connected to up to two redundant pairs of
interconnect modules per enclosure, a very wide variety of high availability I/O configurations are possible.
