AD331A/AD332A PCI-X 1-Port Gigabit Ethernet Card Overview
Product Overview
Product Overview
4
• IPv4 TCP Segmentation Offload (TSO). TSO, also known as “large send” enables a system’s protocol stack
to offload portions of outbound TCP processing to a network interface card thereby reducing system CPU
utilization and enhancing performance.
• LAN boot support on HP Integrity and HP 9000 (PA-RISC) systems except for rp7410 and rp8400.
• Supports readout of Vital Product Data (VPD).
Cable Specifications
Operating Distance for 1000Base-T (Copper UTP): Up to 100 meters — Cat 5 and Cat 5E
Operating distances for 1000Base-SX using multi-mode fiber optic cable are as follows:
Available HP Fiber Optic Cables:
LED Information
LEDs are provided to indicate Link Activity and Link Speed as follows:
• For AD331A, there are two LEDs:
• Activity/Link LED = GREEN light ON when link is established; FLASHING when there is data traffic;
OFF when link is not established.
• Speed LED:
— Orange if speed is 1000Mbps.
— Green if speed in 100Mbps.
— OFF if speed is 10Mbps.
• For AD332A, there is only one LED:
• Activity/Link LED: GREEN light ON when link is established; FLASHING when there is data traffic;
OFF when link is not established.
• The fiber adapter supports only the 1000 speed; so there is no speed LED.
Connection Difference for the Fiber (1000Base-SX) Cards if Replacing an A6847A Card
Please note that the AD332A uses an LC connector whereas the A6847A card uses an SC connector. If you are
replacing a single-port A6847A Gigabit Ethernet card with the AD332A, please be sure that the cable has an
LC connector at the adapter end. IftheremoteconnectionistypeSC,youwillneedanLC-to-SCcable.
