HP Network Adapters for ProLiant DL and  
ML Servers
Family data sheet
Building network reliability
HP ProLiant server adapters provide up to four Gigabit 
ports on a single card, allowing multiple connections to 
devices and/or redundant switches. One or more ports 
on a single adapter or across multiple adapters can be 
teamed for simple failover to more advanced teaming 
capabilities.
Simplifying the infrastructure
HP offers several multi-function adapters for ProLiant 
servers that combine accelerated networking, storage 
networking and clustering – all in a single, high-
performance network adapter. They support TCP/IP 
Offload Engine (TOE) for Windows
®
 and accelerated 
Internet Small Computer System Interface (iSCSI). 
Today, the typical server environment requires separate 
connectivity products for networking and storage. 
Not so with HP multi-function network adapters. The 
adapters present a single connection supporting multiple 
functions, thereby allowing IT professionals to manage 
their entire infrastructure as a single, unified fabric. A 
unified fabric infrastructure can dramatically reduce 
costs, increase flexibility in business solution deployment, 
allow sharing of resources for improved efficiencies and 
greatly simplify infrastructure management. 
Managing effectively
ProLiant network adapters ship with drivers and 
agents that can be managed from HP Systems Insight 
Manager (SIM), as well as any other management 
application that supports SNMP. SIM can recognise the 
adapters individually or in teams, and can collect and 
report SNMP statistics on adapter events. Integrated 
Management Log (IML) support is provided by the 
adapters for critical event logging on ProLiant servers. The 
adapters ship with a set of utilities that allow the user to 
enable initial diagnostics and configure adapter teaming. 
This includes a patented teaming GUI for Microsoft
®
 
Windows operating systems. Additionally, support for 
scripted installations of teams in a Microsoft Windows 
environment allows for unattended operating system 
installations.
Networking with confidence
Tested and proven to meet demanding HP standards, our 
adapters undergo an extensive level of ProLiant server 
compatibility and systems inter-operability testing. We 
validate the adapters over a wide variety of both 32-bit 
and 64-bit operating systems. This approach provides a 
robust and reliable networking solution while providing IT 
administrators with a single point of contact for both their 
servers and server network adapters.

Adapters
HP NC360T PCI Express Dual-Port Gigabit 
Server Adapter
The NC360T is an x4 PCI Express adapter featuring two 
10/100/1000 ports on a single card, saving valuable 
server I/O slots for other purposes. The option kit ships 
with two brackets, allowing the adapter to be used in 
either low-profile or standard-height server I/O slots.
Increased demands placed on your network for reliability, bandwidth and security will 
only accelerate further while imposing added pressure for infrastructure simplification 
and reduced costs. From entry-level adapters to options for multiple applications, our 
line of network products provides a complete assortment for ProLiant servers.
