• Warranty:
  • This product is covered by a global limited warranty and supported by HP Services and a worldwide network of HP Authorized Channel Partners. Hardware diagnostic support and repair is available for three years from date of purchase. Support for software and initial setup is available for 90 days from date of purchase. Enhancements to warranty services are available through HP Care Pack services or customized service agreements. Certain restrictions and exclusions apply. Hard drives have either a one year or three year warranty; refer to the specific hard drive QuickSpecs for details.
    NOTE: Server warranty includes 3 year Parts, 3 year Labor, 3-year on-site support. Warranty repairs may be accomplished through the use of Customer Self Repair (CSR) parts. These parts fall into two categories: 1) Mandatory CSR parts are designed for easy replacement. A travel and labor charge will result when customers decline to replace a Mandatory CSR part; 2) Optional CSR parts are also designed for easy replacement but may involve added complexity. Customers may choose to have HP replace Optional CSR parts at no charge. Additional information regarding worldwide limited warranty and technical support is available at: https://h18004.www1.hp.com/products/servers/platforms/warranty/index.html

One (1) additional 10/100 NIC dedicated to iLO 2 Management
NOTE: The Gigabit Ethernet adapters transmit from the server at 2000 Mbps, full duplex per port only. However, within a Linux environment, the speed can be reduced or "throttled" using a feature available within the Linux operating system; see the white paper at: https://h71028.www7.hp.com/ERC/downloads/4AA1-5513ENW.pdf for more information.

The embedded multifunction NC373i adapters combine standard Gigabit Ethernet networking, TCP/IP offload engine (TOE), iSCSI boot and optional accelerated iSCSI into a single adapter.

• TOE moves the processing of data in the TCP protocol stack from the server CPU to the network card, freeing CPU cycles for other activities. With TOE, network communications are improved, and server efficiency is increased. The NC373i offers TOE for Microsoft® Windows 2000 and 2003 environments.
• The iSCSI network boot (iSCSI boot) allows the BL460c to boot from a remote operating system (OS) image located on a storage area network (SAN). The BL460c uses an iSCSI firmware image (iSCSI boot option ROM) making the remote disk drive appear as a local, bootable C: drive. The BL460c is configured to connect to and boot from the iSCSI target disk on the network and download the OS image from the iSCSI target disk. The iSCSI boot option ROM is supplied by HP at no cost. The additional cost and mezzanine slot usage of an add-in iSCSI HBA card is not required. Additionally, the HP iSCSI boot solution includes scripts to significantly simplify the installation process.
• The accelerated iSCSI feature of the embedded multifunction adapter requires the HP Accelerated iSCSI Pack. For more information, please see the QuickSpecs at https://h18000.www1.hp.com/products/quickspecs/12466_div/12466_div.html

Two optional Fibre Channel HBAs are supported by the HP ProLiant BL460c. Both mezzanine circuit boards connect directly to the server blade system board. These Fibre Channel HBAs are available via option kits and must be ordered separately.
