436431-001 - HP NC364T PCI Express Quad Port Gigabit Server Adapter

Description

The HP 436431-001, also known as the NC364T, is a high-performance quad-port Gigabit Ethernet network adapter designed for enterprise servers. This adapter provides four independent 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet ports on a single PCI-Express card, making it an ideal solution for server consolidation, high-density network environments, or servers requiring multiple network connections for different purposes (e.g., management, data, storage). The inclusion of four ports on one card significantly reduces the need for multiple adapter cards, saving valuable PCIe slots and simplifying cabling. Built with the Intel 82571EB controller, the NC364T offers reliable performance and advanced features crucial for server environments. These features include support for NIC Teaming (also known as Link Aggregation), which allows multiple network ports to be combined into a single logical connection for increased bandwidth and fault tolerance. Load balancing capabilities further enhance performance by distributing network traffic across the available ports. Wake-on-LAN (WoL) support allows the server to be powered on remotely over the network. The adapter comes with a standard bracket and also includes a low-profile bracket, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of server chassis, including smaller form factor systems. Its robust design and feature set make the HP NC364T a versatile and cost-effective choice for organizations looking to enhance their server's network connectivity and manageability.
