Network Fault Tolerance Network Fault Tolerance Network Fault Tolerance Network Fault Tolerance
(NFT) The Network Fault Tolerance feature of the NC6136 ensures that the server can always keep an active link. After installing a
second, compatible adapter, if the primary network connection fails, the second, backup adapter will automatically take
over, retaining the network connection. The NC6136 can be configured to fail over to any NC31xx, NC61xx, or NC71xx
adapter by using the latest drivers.
PCI Hot Plug PCI Hot Plug PCI Hot Plug PCI Hot Plug The NC6136 includes PCI Hot Plug support, which enables it to be replaced or added to a PCI Hot Plug compatible server
without powering down the system. This feature provides increased system availability and non-stop serviceability in
business-critical computing environments.
