HP NC-Series Intel adapter properties for Windows Server 2008 and Windows Server 2008 x64 • Adaptive Interframe Spacing. Compensates for excessive Ethernet packet collisions on the network. The default setting works best for most computers and networks by dynamically adapting to the network traffic conditions. However, in some rare cases, you may obtain better performance by manually setting the spacing value. Setting a value forces a static gap between packets. Increasing the value increases the delay between frames being transmitted. o Default = Disabled o Range = Disabled; Enabled • Enable PME. Allows the use of power management and wake-up functions. Supported on NC110x, NC310F, NC340x, NC360x, NC364x, NC6170, and NC7170 adapters only. o Default for NC110x, NC360x, and NC364x adapters = OS Controlled o Range for NC110x, NC360x, and NC364x adapters = OS Controlled; Disabled; Enabled o Default for NC6170 and NC7170 adapters = No Action o Range for NC6170 and NC7170 adapters = Disabled; Enabled; Hardware Default; No Action • Flow Control. The Flow Control property allows the user to enable or disable the receipt or transmission of PAUSE frames. PAUSE frames enable the adapter and the switch to control the transmit rate. The side that is receiving the PAUSE frame will momentarily stop transmitting. The recommended selection is Auto and it is the default setting. To disable Flow Control, select Disable from the Value list on the Advanced tab. o Disable. PAUSE frame receipt and transmission is disabled o Tx Enable. PAUSE frame transmission is enabled o Rx Enable. PAUSE frame receipt is enabled o Rx/Tx Enable (Default). PAUSE frame receipt and transmission is enabled Not supported on NC71xx adapters. • Gigabit Master Slave Mode. Determines IEEE 802.3ab Master-Slave resolution during gigabit auto negotiation.
