HP NC364T PCI Express Quad Port Gigabit Server  
Adapter  
QuickSpecs  
Overview  
The HP NC364T PCI Express Quad-Port Gigabit Server Adapter features four 10/100/1000T Gigabit Ethernet ports on a single  
card, saving valuable server I/O slots for other purposes. The four ports provide the highest port density available for ProLiant  
servers in a single PCI Express network adapter. The NC364T is ideal for virtualization, security, server consolidation, network  
segmentation, and other ProLiant server applications requiring maximum throughput and port density. The total aggregate  
throughput of 4Gbps meets the needs for customers desiring high bandwidth but are not yet ready to move to 10 Gigabit Ethernet.  
The NC364T is a low-profile card with both full height and half height brackets included in the kit. The x4 PCI Express interface is  
compatible with x4, x8, and x16 PCI slots.  
Tested and proven to meet demanding HP standards, the NC364T provides full driver support on a wide variety of ProLiant servers.  
The adapter ships with teaming drivers for all major operating systems, teaming utilities, multiple VLAN tagging capability,  
configuration utilities, and support for the optional HP ProLiant Essentials Intelligent Network Pack that proactively adapts to changes  
in the network infrastructure.

Performance  
Quad-port Gigabit  
Ethernet Throughput  
With a theoretical throughput of 10 Gbps each direction, the x4 PCI Express bus is more than capable of  
supporting the NC364T's four gigabit ports. Up to 1000 Mbps Ethernet transfer rate per port (4000  
Mbps combined) delivers outstanding network performance designed to improve response time and  
remove bottlenecks across the entire network. Four ports on a single adapter are ideal for high density,  
I/O slot constrained servers, virtualization and security, applications, server consolidation, and increased  
network segmentation. The total aggregate throughput of 4Gbps also meets the needs for customers  
desiring high bandwidth but are not yet ready to move to 10 Gigabit Ethernet.  
NOTE: Port enumeration on the NC364T is from the top down, i.e. the port near the top of the adapter  
is port #1 and the port closest to the gold teeth is port #4  
Jumbo Frames  
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 NC364T 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.  
802.1Q VLANs with  
802.1p QoS Tagging  
IEEE 802.1Q virtual local area network (VLAN) protocol allows each physical port of the NC364T 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.  
TCP/IP Stateless  
Offloading  
For overall improved system response, the NC325m supports standard TCP/IP offloading techniques  
including:  
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 Coalescence  
Dual Address Cycles  
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.

Versatility  
10/100/1000T Twisted In addition to Gigabit Ethernet, the NC364T adapter supports both 10Mbps and 100Mbps providing  
Pair Networks  
compatibility with Ethernet and Fast Ethernet twisted pair networks.  
Full and Half Height  
Brackets  
The NC364T is a low-profile card supporting both full height and half height PCI Express slots. A full  
height bracket is pre-installed on the card with the half height bracket in the box. The quick install card  
includes instructions on how to change brackets if needed.  
x4/x8/x16 PCI Express  
Compatibility  
The x4 PCI Express interface on the NC364T is compatible with x4, x8, and x16 PCI slots. If installed in  
a x8 or x16 slot, the adapter will operate at the x4 speed.

High Availability  
Network Adapter  
Teaming  
ProLiant Network Adapter Teaming provides fault tolerance and load balancing across a team of two or  
more network adapters. The team of adapters works together as a single virtual adapter. Support for  
several different types of teaming is included. Optional advanced teaming capabilities are further  
supported through the ProLiant Essentials Intelligent Networking Pack.  
The teaming options offer IT professionals an easy, efficient, and cost-effective way to provide network  
fault tolerance and increased network bandwidth. For more information, see the ProLiant Network

Network Management  
Auto-negotiation  
The NC364T automatically senses the speed of the device to which it is attached. It also automatically  
configures for half or full duplex, depending on the duplex mode of the switch, hub, or router connected  
to the adapter.  
Management Support  
Like all HP server adapters, the NC364T ships with drivers and agents that can be managed from HP  
Systems Insight Manager, as well as using any other management application that supports SNMP. HP  
Systems Insight Manager can recognize the NC364T individually or in teams, and can collect and report  
SNMP statistics on the adapter events.  
Server Integration  
The NC364T is a completely integrated, tested, and qualified solution that is optimized for HP servers.  
HP validates a wide variety of major operating systems drivers with the full suite of web-based enterprise  
management utilities and ProLiant Essentials (including SmartStart and HP Systems Insight Manager) that  
simplify network management. Integrated Management Log (IML) support is provided by the NC364T for  
critical event logging on HP servers.  
This approach provides a more robust and reliable networking solution than offerings from other venders  
and provides users with a single point of contact for both their servers and their network adapters.  
Configuration Utilities  
Each NC364T ships with a suite of operating system-tailored configuration 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 allow for unattended OS installations.  
LED Indicators  
WOL  
Per port bracket LED indicators show link integrity, network activity, and network speed for easy  
troubleshooting.  
The NC364T provides Wake-on-LAN (WOL) support on Port 1 allowing an administrator to remotely  
power on a WOL-capable server. When the server powers down, the NC364T maintains power through  
an alternate source and continuously monitors the network for a special wake-up packet. When the  
adapter receives the special packet created for its MAC address, the NC364T instructs the server to  
power on.  
PXE  
Support for pre-boot execution environment (PXE) enables automatic deployment of computing resources  
remotely from anywhere. It allows a new or existing server to boot over the network and download  
software, including the operating system, from a management/ deployment server at another location on  
the network. Additionally, PXE enables decentralized software distribution and remote troubleshooting  
and repairs.
