9. Apply the power:
a. Verify that the CNA is installed securely in the server.
b. Verify that the correct media is attached.
c. Plug in and power on the server.
d. Observe the Link and Activity LEDs to be sure the CNA connects to the switch.
For more information about the meaning of the LED indicators, see “CNA LED states”
(page 16).
e. Watch the server console for any POST error messages and the CNA BIOS startup
message similar to the one in Figure 7 (page 9)

Electrostatic discharge
To prevent damage to the system, be aware of the precautions you need to follow when setting
up the system or handling parts. A discharge of static electricity from a finger or other conductor
may damage system boards or other static-sensitive devices. This type of damage may reduce the
life expectancy of the device.
To prevent electrostatic damage, observe the following precautions:
• Avoid hand contact by transporting and storing products in static-safe containers.
• Keep electrostatic-sensitive parts in their containers until they arrive at static-free workstations.
• Place parts on a grounded surface before removing them from their containers.
• Avoid touching pins, leads, or circuitry.
• Always be properly grounded when touching a static-sensitive component or assembly (see
“Grounding methods” (page 9)).
Grounding methods
There are several methods for grounding. Use one or more of the following methods when handling
or installing electrostatic-sensitive parts:
• Use a wrist strap connected by a ground cord to a grounded workstation or computer chassis.
Wrist straps are flexible straps with a minimum of 1 megohm (±10 percent) resistance in the
ground cords. To provide proper ground, wear the strap snug against the skin.
• Use heel straps, toe straps, or boot straps at standing workstations. Wear the straps on both
feet when standing on conductive floors or dissipating floor mats.
• Use conductive field service tools.
• Use a portable field service kit with a folding static-dissipating work mat.
If you do not have any of the suggested equipment for proper grounding, have an HP-authorized
reseller install the part.
NOTE: For more information on static electricity, or assistance with product installation, contact
your HP-authorized reseller.
