Installing an adapter 10
• Avoid touching pins, leads, or circuitry.
• Always be properly grounded when touching a static-sensitive component or assembly.
Installing an adapter in a server
See the HP ProLiant server documentation for additional information on how to safely install a PCI card in
the server.
CAUTION: If the server is not PCI Hot Plug compliant, power it down and unplug the power
cord from the power outlet before removing the server access panel. Failure to do so may
damage the adapter or server.
1. Power down the server.
2. Remove the power cord and server access panel. Then remove the cover bracket from a PCI Express
slot.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury from hot surfaces, allow the drives and the
internal system components to cool before touching them.
3. Firmly seat the adapter in a PCI Express slot and secure the adapter bracket.
4. Replace the access panel and plug in the power cord.
Connecting the network cable
Network connections for the NC380T adapter can employ existing UTP CAT5 (or better) cable for
Gigabit over copper transmissions. For new installations, CATe (enhanced CAT5) or better cable is
recommended.
To secure the cable, plug the cable connector into the RJ-45 port. Ensure that the tab on the plug clicks
into position indicating that it is properly seated.
For more information, see UTP cable specifications (on page 11).
