Connecting and Using Loop-Back Plugs
RJ-45 loop-back plugs are supplied in the adapter and upgrade module packages. A fiber loopback plug is available in a spare parts kit. Install these plugs in any unused RJ-45 or fiber port
on the adapter or module, as described in the following section. If the plug is not installed, you
may get a cable fault or reduced functionality on the adapter or module, depending on the
operating system you are running.
RJ-45 Loop-Back Plug
Each kit for the NC3134 adapter and the NC3135 upgrade module contains a loop-back plug.
This loop-back plug consists of a single RJ-45 connector on a truncated cable. After you install
the adapters in the server and connect the server to the network, insert this plug into any unused
10/100 ports on either the adapter or the upgrade module. For example, if you install an NC3135
upgrade module in an NC3134 adapter and connect two ports to the network, you may have up
to two unused ports. In this example, you should insert the provided loop-back plugs into the
unused ports.
In addition, you can use the loop-back plug to diagnose the status of the adapter port without the
adapter being on a live network. When you insert the loop-back plug into the port, the LNK
LED for the port will light if the adapter port is operational, indicating that the link is
established.

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.
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 a Compaq
authorized reseller install the part.
NOTE: For more information on static electricity or assistance with product installation, contact your
Compaq authorized reseller.

RJ-45 Pinouts and Crossover Function
10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, and 1000BASE-T are keyed systems to differentiate between voice
and data transmissions, in order to keep them separate over twisted-pair cable. The Ethernet
standard also specifies that each cable segment implement a crossover function to connect the
transmitter of one device to the receiver of a device at the other end, and vice-versa. The
crossover function may be implemented internally at the hub or switch, or externally, through
the twisted-pair media.
10/100 Straight-Through Pinouts
If the crossover function is implemented internally, the port is labeled MDI-X (Medium
Dependent Interface–Crossover). When an MDI-X port is connected to an MDI port, the twisted
pair media should be wired straight-through using the physical pinouts indicated in Table C-9.

10/100 Crossover Pinouts
When the crossover function is not provided within the hub or switch, you must implement the
crossover through the twisted-pair media using the physical pinouts indicated in Table C-10.

Gigabit over Copper Internal Straight-Through Pinouts
Unlike some connections in which the crossover function is implemented internally at the hub
or switch, the NC7132 upgrade module provides its own automatic cross-over function. This
means you can wire twisted-pair media straight-through for adapter-to-hub or switch or adapterto-adapter connections, using the pinouts shown in Table C-11.
NOTE: To operate at Gigabit speeds, all four pairs of wires must be terminated within the RJ-45
connector.
