The cPCI-6760DK/P5 series support Intel Adapter Teaming which provides several options for increasing throughput and fault tolerance when running Windows 2000, Windows NT 4.0, or NetWare 4.1x or newer. There are four options that can be supported by the cPCI-6760DK/P5. The options are listed below:

1.Adapter Fault Tolerance: provides automatic redundancy for your Ethernet port (adapter). If the primary port (adapter) fails, the secondary takes over. You can create up to eight Fault Tolerance teams. Each team can have 2 - 8 ports (or adapters).

2.Adaptive Load Balancing (ALB): creates a team of two to eight Ethernet ports (or adapters) to increase transmission throughput. Also includes Fault Tolerance option. Works with most switches.

3.Fast Ethernet Channel (FEC): creates a team of two, four or eight ports (adapters) to increase transmission and reception throughput. Also includes Fault Tolerance option. Requires a switch with FEC capability. You can create up to four teams.
