The NC364T automatically senses the speed of the device to which it is attached. It also automatically
configures for half or full duplex, depending on the duplex mode of the switch, hub, or router connected
to the adapter.

Like all HP server adapters, the NC364T ships with drivers and agents that can be managed from HP
Systems Insight Manager, as well as using any other management application that supports SNMP. HP
Systems Insight Manager can recognize the NC364T individually or in teams, and can collect and report
SNMP statistics on the adapter events.

The NC364T is a completely integrated, tested, and qualified solution that is optimized for HP servers.
HP validates a wide variety of major operating systems drivers with the full suite of web-based enterprise
management utilities and ProLiant Essentials (including SmartStart and HP Systems Insight Manager) that
simplify network management. Integrated Management Log (IML) support is provided by the NC364T for
critical event logging on HP servers.
This approach provides a more robust and reliable networking solution than offerings from other venders
and provides users with a single point of contact for both their servers and their network adapters.

Each NC364T ships with a suite of operating system-tailored configuration utilities that allow the user to
enable initial diagnostics and configure adapter teaming. This includes a patented teaming GUI for
Microsoft Windows operating systems. Additionally, support for scripted installations of teams in a
Microsoft Windows environment allow for unattended OS installations.

The NC364T provides Wake-on-LAN (WOL) support on Port 1 allowing an administrator to remotely
power on a WOL-capable server. When the server powers down, the NC364T maintains power through
an alternate source and continuously monitors the network for a special wake-up packet. When the
adapter receives the special packet created for its MAC address, the NC364T instructs the server to
power on.

Support for pre-boot execution environment (PXE) enables automatic deployment of computing resources
remotely from anywhere. It allows a new or existing server to boot over the network and download
software, including the operating system, from a management/ deployment server at another location on
the network. Additionally, PXE enables decentralized software distribution and remote troubleshooting
and repairs.
