How many Ethernet ports does the HP NC340T adapter provide?

The HP NC340T adapter, associated with SKU 389996-001, is identified as a quad port RJ-45 10, 100, 1000 Mbps network adapter. Quad port in this context indicates that the card offers four separate RJ-45 Ethernet interfaces, allowing multiple network connections from a single PCI-X adapter.

Which Ethernet speeds are supported by the HP NC340T 389996-001?

The HP NC340T 389996-001 is listed in the quad port RJ-45 10, 100, 1000 Mbps Gigabit Ethernet category. This means it supports operation at 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, and 1000 Mbps, enabling compatibility with legacy Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, and Gigabit Ethernet segments within the same infrastructure.

What connector type is used on the HP NC340T network adapter?

The HP NC340T, with SKU 389996-001, is specified as a quad port RJ-45 10, 100, 1000 Mbps network adapter. This indicates that each of its four ports uses an RJ-45 connector, which is the standard interface for twisted-pair copper Ethernet cabling in many enterprise networks.

In which systems is the HP NC340T 389996-001 typically installed?

The HP NC340T 389996-001 is described as a PCI-X Gigabit Ethernet adapter, so it is intended for systems that provide PCI-X expansion slots. These can include legacy or specialized servers and platforms where PCI-X is still used for networking expansion and where quad port RJ-45 connectivity is required.

Product overview

The HP NC340T, identified by SKU 389996-001, is a network adapter designed for systems that support PCI-X expansion. Belonging to the quad port RJ-45 10, 100, 1000 Mbps Gigabit Ethernet category, it provides four Ethernet connections through standard RJ-45 interfaces. This allows IT teams to increase network connectivity density on a single server or workstation chassis without adding multiple separate adapters. Operating over 10, 100, and 1000 Mbps speeds, the adapter supports a range of Ethernet environments, from legacy networks to Gigabit infrastructures. As a PCI-X Gigabit Ethernet adapter, it is suited to platforms that still rely on PCI-X slots for networking expansion. The HP branding and NC340T model designation make it straightforward for procurement teams to match this adapter with existing documentation and infrastructure standards based solely on the SKU 389996-001.
