Security/Reliability

Network Fault Tolerance (NFT)

The Network Fault Tolerance feature of the NC6132 ensures that the server can always keep an active link. Using either of the ports on the base adapter or after installing a second, compatible adapter, if the primary network connection fails, the second, backup adapter will automatically take over, retaining the network connection. The NC6132 can be configured to fail over to any NC31xx, NX61xx, or NC71xx adapter by using the latest drivers.

PCI Hot Plug

The NC6132 includes PCI Hot Plug support that enables PCI networking controllers to be replaced or added to a PCI Hot Plug compatible server without powering down the system. This feature provides increased system availability and non-stop serviceability in business-critical computing environments. The NC6132 plugs into the NC3134 or NC3131 Fast Ethernet adapters without requiring any tools.
