HP DL980 G7

NC375i集成网卡性能好像较差，换成独立网卡是否好点？

[MUDBOY]

nc375i采用的NetXen NX3031芯片，支持4个G端口，与主板间使用x4 PCIe总线通信。
个人认为算是个中规中矩的网卡吧。

nc375i如果早于下面的固件和驱动的话，可能会影响性能的，旧的固件甚至可能暂时中断连接或者需要重启才能恢复，当然这种情况偶然性比较少发生。

"ProLiant DL980 G7 with SPI Board Version B01 (or later) and EDC Version G-5210 (or later) are NOT susceptible to this issue. The labels with the SPI Board and EDC version are located on the bottom of the SPI Board, near the PCI Edge Connector."

要完全避免的话，可以更新下面最新的固件和驱动

如果升级了固件和驱动故障依旧的话，那就可能需要售后来解决了。

驱动已经更新到hp-nx_nic-4.0.588-2.src了，固件也更新了。同一个网络环境下，ftp传同一个文件，z800的工作站之间比工作站和DL980之间快一倍。
