OVERVIEW  
The Compaq NC3132 Fast Ethernet Module provides two additional 10/100Base-TX ports for the NC3131 Fast  
Ethernet NIC. The upgrade module provides a scalable transition path from Ethernet to Fast Ethernet to Bonded Fast  
Ethernet.  
The NC3132 contributes additional redundancy and bandwidth to the server without having to change the NIC or the  
operating system driver.

Dual 10/100 Upgrade for the  
NC3131  
338456-B22  
EASE OF USE  
With this Fast Ethernet upgrade  
module and Gigabit upgrade  
modules for the NC3131,  
Compaq is the first to introduce  
an industry-standard, scalable  
transition path from Ethernet to  
Fast Ethernet to Bonded Fast  
Ethernet to Gigabit.  
Plug and Play  
The NC3132 plugs into the NC3131 Fast Ethernet NIC without requiring any tools. Fully compliant with the 2.1 PCI  
specification, the NC3132 upgrade module automatically configures its I/O address and interrupt settings for easy  
installation.  
Extensive Driver Support  
The NC3132 uses the same operating system drivers as the NC3131 and no driver change is required when moving  
from 10 to 100 Mbps. In addition, these same drivers can be used for all Compaq Intel-based 10 or 100 Mbps NICs.  
Common drivers provide consistency, easy management, and support to save money and time.  
Other upgrade modules for  
the NC3131  
Auto-negotiation  
The NC3132 senses for 10 or 100 Mbps and half or full duplex and automatically configures to the highest network  
connection speed between the NIC and hub or switch port.

Compaq Fast Ethernet NIC  
Family  
The NC3132 uses the NC3131 base card connector which is a 32/64-bit PCI Universal Connector for operation in 32-  
or 64-bit PCI slots.

PCI UTP  
Port Bonding  
The NC3132 supports Adaptive Load Balancing (ALB) and Ciscos Fast EtherChannel (FEC). ALB provides both  
failover support and balances transmit traffic across NICs for increased performance. For even higher performance,  
Ciscos Fast EtherChannel provides port failover and balances transmit and receive traffic across NICs.

Bus-mastering  
· NC3131: 64 PCI Dual  
The NC3132 uses bus-mastering technology to maximize throughput and minimize CPU utilization.

SECURITY/RELIABILITY  
Network Fault Tolerance (NFT)  
This feature enables the NIC to keep an active link if a switch or hub link fails, by automatically switching to a backup  
NIC.  
PCI Hot Plug  
The NC3132 includes PCI Hot Plug support that enables PCI networking controllers to be replaced or added to a  
server without powering down the system. This feature provides increased system availability and non-stop  
serviceability in business-critical computing environments.
