Jumbo Frames
Jumbo frames (also known as extended frames) permit a 9K byte transmission unit (MTU), which is six times the size
of a standard 1500-byte Ethernet frame. The NC375i supports jumbo frames to achieve higher throughput and
better CPU utilization. Jumbo frames are particularly useful for database transfers and tape backups.
Server management technologies
The DL580 G7ships standard with sever management capabilities.
HP Insight Control
HP Insight Control gives you more control over your ProLiant servers. With Insight Control, you can deploy ProLiant
servers quickly. You can catalog your environment accurately, and monitor its health reliably to pinpoint failures. In
addition, you can manage systems remotely away from your office, and optimize power confidently. As a result,
you can reduce unplanned downtime and deliver stable IT services to your business users. You can also respond to
pressing business needs faster by facilitating the rapid rollout of new IT services and optimizing the utilization of
compute resources and data center facilities. HP Insight Control for Microsoft System Center and HP Insight Control
for VMware vCenter deliver hardware management expertise into Microsoft System Center and VMware vCenter
environments. Customers need only purchase one Insight Control license to take advantage of both System Center
and vCenter integrations
HP Insight Control helps you unlock the potential of your infrastructure with deep insight, precise control, and
ongoing optimization. With HP Insight Control, you can:
Deploy ProLiant servers quickly with a reliable drag-and-drop tool that can turn a manual server deployment into
an unattended, repeatable, and automated deployment. Insight Control includes a complete set of wizard-
driven server migration capabilities (P2P, P2V, V2P, and V2V).

HP Integrated Lights-Out 3 (iLO 3)
As previously noted, the HP ProLiant DL580 G7 server ships with the iLO 3 management processor onboard. An HP
Advanced license either included with the HP Insight Control software or purchased stand-alone, upgrades the iLO
firmware, enhancing remote management.
The iLO 3 hardware and firmware provide remote server management capabilities over the Ethernet. The iLO 3
management processor remains available whenever power flows to the server―even if the operating system is in
shutdown. This feature lets you troubleshoot from a remote location.
HP iLO 3 connects through a dedicated Ethernet port. The port can connect to a highly secured, dedicated
management network that is out of the server’s data path. Alternately, iLO 3 provides a Shared Network Port (SNP)
that allows network access to both iLO and the host server using a single network port. SNP allows routing of iLO
network traffic through a sideband connection on one of the server NIC interfaces. Although the iLO traffic shares a
