HP ProLiant DL740 Server - Manual (Page 28)

Server Features
Network Interface Controllers
The ProLiant DL740 server is equipped with two embedded Gigabit Ethernet
network interface controllers. Each of these 10/100/1000 Base TX UTP 100-MHz
64-bit PCI-X NICs have the following features:
• Two RJ-45 connectors for 10BaseT, 100BaseTX, or 1000BaseTX Ethernet
• Preboot eXecution Environment (PXE) support
Redundant NIC software, located on the SmartStart CD, supports a redundant NIC
configuration. This feature may be used with one dual-port, two single-port, or two
dual-port NICs.
Disk Controller
The ProLiant DL740 server provides an embedded Smart Array 5i Controller. Refer
to Chapter 8 for more information about the features and array setup procedures for
the controller. The disk controller has 32 MB of read data cache.
The Smart Array 5i Controller supports Ultra3 SCSI hard drives. Ultra3 is the next
generation of high performance SCSI technology that offers data transfer speeds of
up to 160 MB/sec. It is a term that is synonymous with Ultra160 SCSI and describes
any device that combines Ultra2 SCSI with Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC),
domain validation, and double transition clocking. HP Ultra3 universal hot-pluggable
hard drives provide this level of performance in addition to compatibility with HP
ProLiant servers, AlphaServer, and StorageWorks Enclosure 4200 solutions.
Ultra320 SCSI hard drives will run at Ultra3 speeds unless you install an optional
Ultra320 Array Controller and the Twisted Pair Cable Array Bypass kit included with
the system.
