For which adapter is the NC3135 Fast Ethernet Module intended as an upgrade?

The NC3135 Fast Ethernet Module is specifically described as a dual-port 10/100Base-TX upgrade module for the NC3134 Fast Ethernet PCI network interface card. This means it is designed to work as an expansion option for NC3134-based deployments rather than as an independent PCI adapter.

How many network ports does the NC3135 Fast Ethernet Module provide?

The NC3135 is characterized as a dual-port 10/100Base-TX module. In this context, dual-port indicates that the module adds two Fast Ethernet 10/100Base-TX connections when used as an upgrade for the NC3134 Fast Ethernet PCI network interface card.

What is the role of the NC3135 within Fast Ethernet PCI NIC deployments?

The NC3135 is categorized under Fast Ethernet PCI network interface solutions and identified as an upgrade module for the NC3134 adapter. Its role is to extend Fast Ethernet connectivity in environments built around the NC3134 PCI NIC by providing additional dual-port 10/100Base-TX capability.

How can I accurately reference this NC3135 module for procurement?

For ordering and documentation, this module is associated with SKU 138604-B21 and identified as the HPE NC3135 Fast Ethernet Module. Using both the SKU 138604-B21 and the NC3135 model name helps ensure that the correct dual-port 10/100Base-TX upgrade module for NC3134 is selected during procurement.
