HPE NC6134Product 1000Base-SX server network card

SKU CH-632F-XKHW5 MPN NC6134Product

A 1000Base-SX Gigabit Ethernet server adapter with a single SC fibre port for 32-bit or 64-bit PCI slots

  • Gigabit throughput with 1000Base-SX fibre connectivity
  • Low CPU load via bus-mastering Intel controller
  • Fits 32-bit or 64-bit PCI v2.1 slots
  • Single SC port for multimode fibre uplinks
  • Plug-in card form factor for server deployment

Server 1000Base-SX adapter

The HPE NC6134Product is a 1000Base-SX Gigabit Ethernet server adapter built for legacy server platforms. It connects through a single SC fibre port to provide 1000 Mbps network throughput. The card is designed, developed and tested for server workloads and ships with support for major network operating systems.

PCI v2.1 32-bit or 64-bit slot fit

The card uses a plug-in form factor measuring 2.8 inches in height and 7 inches in width, requiring a standard PCI slot. It operates in either 32-bit or 64-bit PCI v2.1 slots and employs bus-mastering to maximise throughput while minimising CPU utilisation. The single-port design leaves other expansion slots free for additional I/O cards.

Driver support across server OSs

The adapter includes driver support for all major network operating systems, removing the need to source separate software packages. Intel's Gigabit controller handles the physical link and protocol processing on the card itself. This integrated approach simplifies deployment and reduces host configuration overhead.

Questions about this item

Does the 1000Base-SX link saturate the 32-bit PCI bus before the fibre module hits its distance limit?

The card runs at 1000 Mbps over a single SC fibre port using a 32-bit or 64-bit PCI 2.1 slot, so the bus can carry the full line rate in either width.

How much heat does the NC6134 add to a server chassis when it runs 24/7?

The plug-in card draws power only from the PCI slot and has no onboard fan, so its thermal contribution is limited to the slot's normal dissipation budget.

Which slot type must the motherboard provide for this adapter to install?

The board requires a standard 32-bit or 64-bit PCI 2.1 expansion slot; PCI-Express or PCI-X slots will not accept it.
