Network Controller
Two (2) embedded NC373i Multifunction Gigabit Server Adapters with iSCSI boot, TCP/IP offload
engine, and optional accelerated iSCSI
One (1) additional 10/100 NIC dedicated to iLO 2 Management
NOTE: The Gigabit Ethernet adapters transmit from the server at 2000 Mbps, full duplex per port only.
However, within a Linux environment, the speed can be reduced or "throttled" using a feature available
within the Linux operating system; see the white paper at:
for more information.
Multifunction Networking
The embedded multifunction NC373i adapters combine standard Gigabit Ethernet networking, TCP/IP
offload engine (TOE), iSCSI boot and optional accelerated iSCSI into a single adapter.
TOE moves the processing of data in the TCP protocol stack from the server CPU to the network
card, freeing CPU cycles for other activities. With TOE, network communications are improved,
and server efficiency is increased. The NC373i offers TOE for Microsoft® Windows 2000 and
2003 environments.
The iSCSI network boot (iSCSI boot) allows the BL460c to boot from a remote operating system
(OS) image located on a storage area network (SAN). The BL460c uses an iSCSI firmware image
(iSCSI boot option ROM) making the remote disk drive appear as a local, bootable C: drive. The
BL460c is configured to connect to and boot from the iSCSI target disk on the network and
download the OS image from the iSCSI target disk. The iSCSI boot option ROM is supplied by HP
at no cost. The additional cost and mezzanine slot usage of an add-in iSCSI HBA card is not
required. Additionally, the HP iSCSI boot solution includes scripts to significantly simplify the
installation process.
I/O Expansion Slots
Two I/O expansion mezzanine slots (one x8 and one x4)
Integrated Manageability
HP ProLiant Onboard Administrator (includes but not limited to functionality in Integrated Lights-Out 2 (iLO
2) Standard Blade Edition (integrated on motherboard)
Storage Controller

Controller
64 MB memory module supports RAID 0,1
Available upgrades: 128 MB with Battery-backed write cache
NOTE: For customers who choose to configure a driveless model via CTO, a storage controller is not
required. See Factory Integrated Models section for more information.
