The HP NC360T PCI Express dual port gigabit server adapter is a high-performance PCI Express (PCIe), dual-port, copper, gigabit network solution for HP ProLiant server customers who demand the latest in dual-port gigabit Ethernet bandwidth and features. The HP NC360T PCI Express dual port gigabit server adapter offers two ports on a single PCI Express adapter, enabling customers to save valuable I/O slots for other uses. The adapter is based on the high performance Intel 82571EB chipset and offers a 4 lane (x4) PCI Express bus. Along with all the advanced features that HP ProLiant customers have come to expect, the HP NC360T PCI Express dual port gigabit server adapter includes support for Wake-on-LAN (WOL) and pre-boot execution (PXE) environment. Additionally, it ships with support for Jumbo Frames, Network Fault Tolerance, Load Balancing, and various offload capabilities such as Segmentation Offload and Large Send Offload (LSO), which offer further network throughput improvements. The HP NC360T PCI Express dual port gigabit server adapter is easy to install in either standard or low profile slots.

• Gigabit throughput combined with legacy Ethernet support
  A 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet transfer rate delivers outstanding network performance that improves response time and removes bottlenecks. Because the HP NC360T PCI Express dual port gigabit server adapter supports both 10-Mbps Ethernet and 100-Mbps Fast Ethernet in addition to gigabit Ethernet, users can count on having end-to-end protocol support across their enterprise.
• PCI Express interface
  HP was an early champion of PCI Express bus technology and has played a key role in the development and industry adoption of the PCI Express specification. The HP NC360T PCI Express dual port gigabit server adapter features a high performance Intel 82571EB chipset and offers a four lane (x 4) PCI Express bus based on the PCIe v 1.0a standard, yielding faster transmissions with lower CPU utilization than earlier solutions.
• Load balancing
  Transmit Load Balancing (TLB) and Switch-Assisted Load Balancing (SLB) are two advanced features that customers can use to build a bigger pipe for improved networking bandwidth. These port-bonding techniques enable users to install up to four HP NC360T PCI Express dual port gigabit server adapters (for a total of eight ports) in an HP ProLiant server, aggregating their throughput up to a theoretical maximum of 16 gigabits per second full-duplex transmissions.
• Jumbo frames
  Jumbo frames (also known as extended frames) offer a 9,000-byte maximum transmission unit (MTU), which is six times the size of traditional Ethernet frames. The HP NC360T PCI Express dual port gigabit server adapter supports jumbo frames as a way to achieve higher throughput and better CPU utilization when deployed in a network infrastructure that supports them. Jumbo frames are particularly useful for database transfers and tape backups.
• Offloading
  The HP NC360T PCI Express dual port gigabit server adapter can improve network performance by providing these offloading functions: TCP Checksum Offload, which reduces the load on the CPU. Large Send Offload (LSO) and TCP Segmentation Offload (TSO), which enables the TCP segmentation to be handled by the adapter; thereby saving host CPU cycles for enhanced performance when there are large amounts of data sent across the network. Interrupt Moderation, which groups multiple packets, thereby reducing the number of interrupts sent to the host. This process optimizes host efficiency, leaving the CPU available for other duties.
