Multifunction Networking
The embedded multifunction NC373i combines standard Gigabit Ethernet networking, TCP/IP offload
engine (TOE) acceleration, and iSCSI boot capability 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 environments.
iSCSI boot allows the BL680c G5 to boot from a remote operating system (OS) image located on
a storage area network (SAN). The BL680c G5 uses an iSCSI firmware image (iSCSI boot option
ROM) making the remote disk drive appear as a local, bootable C: drive. The BL680c G5 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.
