Does anyone know which model fits or currently use the Intel Quad Port PRO/1000 NIC on DL 585 G2?
The DL 585 Slot1 and Slot2 are PCI - X 100MHz slots. Which model Quad Port fits in these ports? OR Have you placed them in the PCI - Ex4 or Ex8 slots?
I see 3 Quad Port Models: MT and PT and the Low Profile server adapters.
Please help.
Thanks !!
This Intel nic should work as well and is listed on the compatiblity list. I have it quoted for us in use for soon HP purchase.
Here's a list of the rest of the Intel line for you records for Gigabit speed in PCI-X form:

I use the HP supplied Intel quat ports. They are PCIe. HP NC364T PCIe 4Pt Gigabit Server Adptr 435508-B2
Here's the list of HP adapters (as listed in the HP Product Bulletin):

Fantastic info.
I will be ordering 2 Quad Port cards.
Did you place them in the 4x or 8x slots?
Ill have to place mine in the 8x slots, which I presume will give better performance?
Any tips or issues you can relay would be great for these cards.
Thanks!
I'm running in both the 4x and 8x slots. I have three cards in my servers: two in 8x and one in 4x, but I am only using the cards in the 8x right now. No cables are plugged into the third card at this time. I set my vswitches up to contain ports from both cards so I am not completely hosed if one card has a fatal malfunction.

Question regarding pSwitches and the Quads.
How many Eth ports of the 2 quads to you have going to pSwitch1 and pSwitch2?
I was curious if its possible for 4 of the ports on Quad1 to goto pSwitch1 and 4 of the ports on Quad2 goto pSwitch2 for redundancy. (VM traffic)
OR
Is this not possible with ESX vSwitches to go to 2 diff. pSwitches and the pSwitches would handle re-routing if pSwitch1 goes down.
Thanks
I am going to go out on a limb and say that you can mix physical switches. The requirement would be a switch that supports this. If you remove VM from the mix, HP's NIC teaming can do with across switches that fully support 802.3ad (and then some). Here's a link: I've also read some Cisco documentation along the same lines.
Due to the capabilities of my network equipment, I keep all the ports used in a vswitch on the same physical switch. However, I currently have to vswitches configured for a different network. In effect, I have each quad going to both physical switches: 2 ports for one vswitch, 2 ports for the other.
Due to the way NICs enumerated, 0 and 9 are the onboard. 1-4 are on one card, 10-13 on the other.

Those cards are actually PCI-E x1, so they will work in any slot, x1, x4 x8 but I don't think you'll get any faster speed out of them.
