Introduction

Overview

The Compaq NC3134 Fast Ethernet Server Adapter is a second-generation, dual-port adapter

that offers improved performance over earlier versions of the product. This improvement is due

to the 64-bit/66MHz PCI-to-PCI bridge, as well as to the enhanced MAC silicon technology not

previously available. The NC3134 adapter supports existing 10/100 Ethernet, 100FX, and 1000

SX/LX upgrade modules, which are listed in Table 1-1. The NC3134 adapter is a

supported

option for selected Compaq ProLiant™ servers.

The new NC7132 upgrade module, described later in this chapter, has one RJ-45 connector and

a 10/100/1000 Mb/s port that delivers up to 1000 Mb/s Ethernet over twisted-pair cabling

(Gigabit over copper).

Table 1-1 describes the adapter and upgrade modules.
