Overview

The HP NC380T PCI Express Dual Port Multifunction Gigabit Server Adapter is a high-performance, dual port, Ethernet adapter that delivers up to 1000 Mb/s Ethernet over twisted-pair (copper) cabling. The NC380T adapter has a fully integrated controller capable of auto-negotiating a link at 10, 100, or 1000 Mb/s. The network connection is made through an RJ-45 connector. LED indicators show the speed and activity of the link once it has been established. See LED indicators (on page 7) for details.

The NC380T is a supported option for selected HP ProLiant servers. In addition to features that have shipped with other server adapters, the NC380T adapter will also support Receive Side Scaling, TCP/IP Offload Engine (TOE), iSCSI, and Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA) when those features become available. For details about each of these advanced features and for other information regarding the latest functionality, features, and operating system support for this server adapter, see the HP website (http://h18004.www1.hp.com/products/servers/networking/index-nic.html).
