Up to 1000Mbps Ethernet transfer rate delivers outstanding network performance that improves response
time and removes bottlenecks across the entire network.
Load Balancing
Load BalancingLoad Balancing
Load Balancing
Transmit Load Balancing (TLB) and Switch-Assisted Load Balancing (SLB) are two advanced features used
to build a bigger pipe for improved networking bandwidth. These port bonding techniques enable users
to install up to eight NC1020 adapters in a HP ProLiant server and aggregate their throughput up to a
theoretical maximum of 16 Gigabits per second full-duplex transmission.
The NC1020 can be configured to work with other NC-series Ethernet server adapter teams supported
on HP ProLiant servers, when running under Microsoft Windows, Linux, or NetWare operating systems.
If Large Send Offload (LSO) is enabled, the NC1020 can only team in Microsoft Operating Systems with
another NC1020 or a NC7761.
If LSO is disabled, the NC1020 can team with all of HP ProLiant NC-Series NICs without problems.

Tri-Speed Support
Because the NC1020 supports 10Mbps Ethernet and 100Mbps Fast Ethernet in addition to Gigabit
Ethernet, users are guaranteed end-to-end protocol support across their enterprise. Like all HP server
adapters, the NC1020 adheres to open industry standards, insuring that it will work seamlessly with any
network devices that also support IEEE standards.
Traditional PCI slot

Traditional PCI slot
The NC1020 is specified to run in either 33 or 66MHz PCI slots. If customers want to place it into 64-bit,
66/100/133MHz slots, they can do so with the potential for performance degradation.
Network Fault Tolerance

Network Fault Tolerance
(NFT)
Network Fault Tolerance, sometimes called "failover" or "NIC redundancy", allows for the installation of
multiple NC1020 server adapters or other network adapters so that the active device can be backed up
by a redundant adapter to improve availability. HP's teaming utility also allows users to specify that when
a failed adapter is fixed and replaced, the original adapter resumes its function as the primary network
connection.
The NC1020 can be configured to work with other NC-series Ethernet server adapter teams supported
on HP ProLiant servers, when running under Microsoft Windows, Linux, or NetWare operating systems. If
Large Send Offload (LSO) is enabled, the NC1020 can only team in Microsoft Operating Systems with
another NC1020 or a NC7761. If LSO is disabled, the NC1020 can team with all of HP ProLiant NC-
Series NICs without problems.

PCI Hot Plug
The NC1020 ships with 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.
