[sang_5]

Hello there,

Does my server's NIC support " HP Proliant Network Adapter Teaming " ?

If so, what NIC should i purchase to combine with this NIC for " HP Proliant Network Adapter Teaming " ?

Thank you very much ^_^.

Thank you very much.

So only NIC with Dual Port or Quad Ports support NIC teaming ?

no that's not true.
There is no problem teaming two single cards, but they need to be compatible (preferrably same) .
With two dual(/quad) cards you can team ports from different cards
So a dual card (same chip-type) has advantages for teaming over two different adapters
