iSCSI initiator from such vendors as:

QLogic (QLA4010C)
•
Intel (Pro/1000T IP)
•
Alacretech (100x1 TNIC)
Follow the installation and setup instructions that come with the card.
Software
Use a software-based iSCSI initiator in combination with a GbE NIC. If you
choose a Microsoft software iSCSI initiator, download it from:
