1 Introduction 
1.1 About 
this 
Guide 
This guide describes how to install the Alacritech
 100 Series of 
server adapters. 
1.1.1 Naming 
conventions 
Because this guide applies to the 100x4 Quad-port, 100x2 Dual-port 
and 100x1 Single-port server adapters, the general term 100 Series 
applies to all versions of the adapter, except where indicated. 
1.2 Description 
The 100 Series of Server Adapters are multi-port 64-bit Fast 
Ethernet server adapters that employ Alacritech’s patented SLIC
 
(Session-Layer Interface Card) technology, which uses an 
innovative application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) for 
protocol processing.    
SLIC technology increases server performance and efficiency. 
■ 
Protocol processing is offloaded onto the server adapter, 
freeing the CPU for application processing and 
maximizing throughput. 
■ 
A unique ASIC utilizes an Internet Protocol Processor 
(IPP), optimized for protocol processing, which delivers 
faster performance than general purpose CPUs. 
SLIC eliminates the burden of protocol processing on the host CPU. 
By offloading protocol data processing, SLIC technology frees the
