Configuring multiple ports on 10GbE adapters
HP multiple port adapters—such as the NC512m Dual Port 10 GbE Multifunction BL-c Adapter—have
multiple ports on a single card.
•
Requirements: Each port requires a separate IP address, and each port should be on a separate
subnet for proper network stack functioning.
subnet for proper network stack functioning.
•
Installing: If the driver is installed, it is automatically loaded for each port.
•
Enabling: Each port appears as a separate device. Ports can be enabled individually without
interfering with the other ports.
interfering with the other ports.
•
Disabling: Ports can be disabled individually without interfering with other enabled ports.
Please note that multiple HP NC512m Dual Port 10 GbE Multifunction BL-c Adapters are NOT supported
in a single system.
Boot options
Pre-boot Execution Environment (PXE) allows a server to boot from a remote system using the NC51xx 10
Gigabit Ethernet interface. Through the PXE interface, the server's operating system image is downloaded
from a configured boot server.
PXE boot process requirements
The PXE boot process has the following requirements.
•
An HP NC51xx network adapter enabled to support PXE boot.
•
A Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server — Used to assign an IP address to the
network adapter and to specify a boot image to download and load. Typically, a system
network adapter and to specify a boot image to download and load. Typically, a system
administrator configures a DHCP server to provide boot parameters.
•
A Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) server — Used by the network adapter to download a PXE boot
loader.
•
System BIOS enabled for PCI Expansion ROM scanning of the PCI slot where the network adapter is
installed. PCI Expansion ROM scanning allows the network adapter's PXE driver to be loaded and
executed during system boot time.
Configuring PCI behavior is system BIOS dependent but usually requires accessing the BIOS setup
screen and configuring the PCI advanced or boot properties. Also, the system BIOS must be enabled
Configuring PCI behavior is system BIOS dependent but usually requires accessing the BIOS setup
screen and configuring the PCI advanced or boot properties. Also, the system BIOS must be enabled
to boot from the NC51xx network adapter.

Desired boot order selected to insure that the appropriate boot sequence occurs.
When PCI Expansion ROM scanning is enabled and the NC51xx network adapter is installed
correctly, the NC51xx network adapter displays as a boot option in the system BIOS boot order
When PCI Expansion ROM scanning is enabled and the NC51xx network adapter is installed
correctly, the NC51xx network adapter displays as a boot option in the system BIOS boot order
menu.
PXE functionality in the firmware is disabled by default.
Complete the following steps to enable or disable PXE functionality for Windows.
