[. . . ] HP ProLiant Network Adapter Scripting Utility User Guide Part Number 289166-40C May 2008 (Twenty-First Edition) © Copyright 2006, 2008 Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L. P. The information contained herein is subject to change without notice. The only warranties for HP products and services are set forth in the express warranty statements accompanying such products and services. Nothing herein should be construed as constituting an additional warranty. [. . . ] The default setting Auto is recommended. · · CPUSaver -- Minimizes power consumption by enabling the adapter to enter a deep sleep mode under certain conditions. NumCoalesce -- Coalesce Buffers reduce the number of DMA operations per transfer by combining small fragments into a single buffer. Defaults: NC61xx, NC71xx, NC310x, and NC340x adapters = 128. NC110x, NC360x, and NC364x adapters = 256. NumRfd -- Number of Receive Descriptors determine how many resources are allocated to receive packets. NumTcb -- Number of Transmit Descriptors determine how many resources are allocated to transmit packets. TransmitThreshold -- Determines how many bytes are in the FIFO before transmission begins. ReceiveBuffers -- The size, in bytes, of the receive buffers that the hardware can support. This size is hardware-dependent and can include data buffers, buffer descriptors, and so on. TransmitBuffers -- The size, in bytes, of the transmit buffers that the hardware can support. This size is hardware-dependent and can include data buffers, buffer descriptors, and so on. WakeOn -- Available only when Enable PME is enabled. Allows you to choose what types of packets will cause the adapter to wake. WireSpeed -- Enables linking at 100 Mbps when using a cable that does not support Gigabit Speed. WOLSpeed -- Specifies the speed at which the adapter connects to the network during Wake-onLAN mode. IPMI - Enables Intelligent Platform Management Interface, which provides a means for monitoring, control, and automatic recovery of servers. IPMI can only enabled on one port at a time. IPMI cannot be enabled on a port that has Large Send Offload enabled. WakeUpCap -- Determines the type of packets that will cause the adapter to wake up the system. NumTxd -- Determines how many resources are allocated to transmit packets. NumRxd -- Determines how many resources are allocated to receive packets. Increasing receive descriptors can increase performance, which also increases the amount of system memory used by the driver. [. . . ] TOE teaming performance is reduced if a switch or network device is configured with the round robin aggregation load balancing method. Configure the aggregation load balancing method on the switch or network device to something else other than round robin and then re-start the team (disable the team and enable the team for all VLANs). TOE will not work with the following features enabled: Windows Firewall; Internet Protocol security (IPsec); Internet Protocol Network Address Translation (IPNAT); third-party firewalls; and NDIS 5. 1 intermediate drivers.
