Before Installation

We recommend writing down the following parameters from the Setup Section in Chapter 2. Refer to them during the installation procedure.

Default Server Name: ____ ____ ____ ____ ____ ____ ____ ____ ____

Default Printer Name: ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ _ ___

Choose PSERVER or RPRINTER

The printer server is capable of operating as a PSERVER, RPRINTER or simultaneously as both. Choose the best configuration to meet your needs.

Using the Emulex printer server as a Novell Print Server (PSERVER):

•replaces the need for a dedicated Novell PSERVER

•provides faster throughput than using the printer server as an RPRINTER operating through a Novell PSERVER

•occupies one user slot per attached file server

•supports encrypted or unencrypted passwords

Using the Emulex printer server as a Novell Remote Printer (RPRINTER):

•requires a Novell PSERVER module somewhere on the network

•provides slower throughput than using the printer server as a PSERVER

•occupies one user slot

•uses the PSERVER module to handle passwords

It utilizes enhanced Ethernet technology to optimize network performance while reducing latency. Its support for virtualization allows for improved resource allocation, making it ideal for contemporary data center environments.

The NJ01B-NT+ complements the NQGB-NT+ with additional features aimed at improving resilience and reliability. It supports Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE), which allows for the convergence of storage and data networks into a unified fabric. This not only simplifies infrastructure but also reduces overall costs and power consumption. The NJ01B-NT+ is particularly beneficial for enterprises looking to streamline their network operations while maintaining top-tier performance.

Moving on to the NQ0V-NT+, this adapter focuses on multi-protocol capabilities, enabling users to manage various network protocols within a single environment. It includes advanced features such as iSCSI offload, which enhances performance for storage area networks (SANs). Its ability to support multiple protocols makes it a versatile choice for businesses with diverse networking needs.

The NQTR0U-NATM adapter provides additional innovation by incorporating SmartNIC technology. This enables onboard processing capabilities, offloading tasks from the server CPU, which enhances overall system performance. With features that support container-based workloads and network functions virtualization (NFV), this adapter is well-suited for modern applications that require scalability and flexibility.

Finally, the NP02 module is designed with a focus on energy efficiency and high availability. It incorporates industry-leading technologies that ensure minimal downtime and optimal performance in mission-critical environments. Its advanced monitoring and management capabilities allow administrators to maintain control over their network resources, ensuring that systems run smoothly and efficiently.

Together, these Emulex network adapters deliver a comprehensive suite of features that enable businesses to optimize their network infrastructure for performance, reliability, and efficiency. With an emphasis on multi-protocol support, virtualization, and energy efficiency, Emulex products are ideal for today’s demanding data center environments. Whether for enhancing connectivity, reducing latency, or improving resource allocation, these adapters showcase Emulex's commitment to delivering high-quality networking solutions.
