NOTE: The Gigabit Ethernet adapters transmit from the server at 2000 Mbps, full duplex per port.
However, within a Linux environment, the speed can be reduced or "throttled" using a feature available
within the Linux operating system.

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 10Gb speeds.

Multifunction Networking The embedded multifunction NC373i combines standard Gigabit Ethernet networking, TCP/IP offload
engine (TOE) acceleration for Windows, iSCSI boot, and optional accelerated iSCSI 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.
The iSCSI boot allows the BL680c G5 to boot from a remote operating system (OS) image located on
a storage area network (SAN) within a Red Hat or SUSE Linux environment. The BL680c G5 uses an
iSCSI firmware image (iSCSI boot option ROM) making the remote disk drive appear as a local,
bootable C: drive. The BL680c G5 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.
