Compaq NC3121 Fast Ethernet NIC, PCI, 10/100, Wake on LAN
| Models |
| Compaq NC3121 Fast Ethernet NIC PCI,
10/100, WOL Single 5 Pack 20 Pack 80 Pack Single Spare Kit |
| The Compaq NC3121 Fast Ethernet NIC provides a Wake on LAN (WOL) feature that enables PCs to be powered up remotely for after-hours and remote-site maintenance. |
| By providing high performance and feature-rich functionality on both 10BaseT and 100Base TX networks, the NC3121 Fast Ethernet NIC offers businesses a robust, cost-effective NIC solution as their networks evolve. |
| Compaq Fast Ethernet NIC Family |
| Simplified, Streamlined Management |
| The Compaq NC3121 Fast Ethernet NIC can be
remotely powered up from a sleep state during non-work hours. Because no one has to be
physically present for power-up, this Wake on LAN (WOL) feature enables businesses to
quickly and efficiently update drivers and software, conduct hardware and software audits,
and perform other management tasks without interrupting PC users during work hours. The Fast Ethernet NIC also provides standard SNMP MIB support, as well as SmartStart support for Compaq server installation. Network activity can be monitored remotely with Compaq’s CNMS network management software, Compaq Insight Manager, or any SNMP-compliant management software. LEDs indicate link and network activity for "at-a-glance" troubleshooting. |
| Conformance to Industry Standards |
| The Fast Ethernet NIC can use either Compaq or Intel industry-standard drivers, allowing MIS departments to standardize on a single set of drivers. The product’s "Blue Angel" compliance reduces power consumption, and is fully compatible with Windows 98 and compliant with Microsoft’s PC 98 networking standards. |
| Greater Security, Lower Hardware Costs |
| The Fast Ethernet NIC features embedded Boot ROM support, which enables a network administrator to upgrade or install new software onto systems from a remote location. Because the Boot ROM is embedded, businesses save the time and money they would otherwise spend qualifying, purchasing and installing Boot ROM chips into Boot ROM sockets—the only alternative offered by most other NIC vendors. |
| Network Fault Tolerance and Auto-Correction |
| The product’s network fault tolerance feature ensures that the server always keeps an active link. If a primary network connection fails, a second, backup NIC can automatically takes over, retaining the connection to the network. |
| High Performance and Flexibility for Today’s Businesses |
| Full duplex support allows the Fast Ethernet NIC to transmit and receive data simultaneously for rates up to 20 Mbps for Ethernet and 200 Mbps for Fast Ethernet. Performance is further ensured with 6KB of buffer memory, which makes for low CPU utilization at high throughputs. The product works with both 10BaseT and 100Base TX networks, and auto-sensing capabilities enable it to automatically negotiate between 10 and 100 Mbps to achieve the highest common speed on the network. As businesses evolve from 10BaseT to 100Base TX networks, there is no need to buy new Fast Ethernet NICs. |
| Fast, Easy Installation |
| The NC3121 features a robust "plug-and-play" capability for conflict-free auto configuration. With SmartStart support, NIC installation is easily integrated into the setup of the operating system and machine, for easy installation on Compaq servers. |
| World Class Compaq Reliability |
| Designed with quality and investment protection in mind, the NC3121 Fast Ethernet NIC meets all of Compaq’s demanding design and manufacturing standards. Surface-mount technology, ASIC-based hardware, state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities, a top-notch quality inspection, and testing provide the reliability and quality you expect from a Compaq product. |
