Jumbo Frames
Jumbo Frames (also known as Extended Frames) offer a 9K byte Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU),
which is six times the size of traditional Ethernet frames. Like all HP ProLiant server adapters, the NC110T
supports jumbo frames as a way to achieve higher throughput and better CPU utilization when deployed
in a network infrastructure that supports them.

These features reduce the load on the CPU to improve improved overall system response. LSO is based
on both IPv4 and IPv6 and TCP Checksum Offload is IPv6 based.

(NFT)
Network Fault Tolerance, sometimes called "failover" or "NIC Redundancy," allows for the installation of
multiple server adapters so that the active device can be backed up by a redundant adapter to improve
availability. HP's teaming utility also allows users to specify that when a failed adapter is fixed and
replaced, the original adapter resumes its function as the primary network connection.

The NC110T automatically senses and configures itself to 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 at the other end of the cable.

Wake-on-LAN
The NC110T provides cold boot Wake-on-LAN (WOL) support through the PCI Express bus. A system
that supports Wake on LAN can remain available to a systems administrator during its normal downtime.
Once the machine is awakened, the systems administrator can remotely control, audit, debug, or
manage the machine.

Like all HP ProLiant server adapters, the NC110T ships with drivers and agents that can be managed
from all versions of Systems Insight Manager. Additionally, it supports any management application that
supports SNMP.

The SmartStart configuration utility includes setup support for the NC110T so that the adapter can be
configured as part of the SmartStart configuration process. Insight Manager can recognize the NC110T
individually or in a port-bonded team, and it can collect and report SNMP statistics on the adapter
events. Integrated Management Log (IML) support is provided by the NC110T for critical event logging
on HP ProLiant servers.

Each NC110T ships with a set of utilities that allow the user to:
Enable initial diagnostics within Windows, Linux, Netware, and DOS operating systems.
Configure network adapter teaming in a Windows environment. The Windows adapter teaming
configuration utility includes a patented teaming GUI for Microsoft Windows 2000 and 2003
operating systems. Support for scripted installations of teams in a Microsoft Windows environment
allow for unattended OS installations.
