Compaq Technician Notes
WARNING: Only authorized technicians trained by Compaq should attempt to repair this
equipment. All troubleshooting and repair procedures are detailed to allow only
subassembly/module level repair. Because of the complexity of the individual boards and
subassemblies, no one should attempt to make repairs at the component level or to make
modifications to any printed wiring board. Improper repairs can create a safety hazard. Any
indications of component replacement or printed wiring board modifications may void any
warranty.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury from electrical shock and hazardous energy
levels, do not exceed the level of repair specified in these procedures. Because of the
complexity of the individual boards and subassemblies, do not attempt to make repairs at the
component level or to make modifications to any printed wiring board. Improper repairs could
create conditions that are hazardous.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to the equipment:
If the system has multiple power supplies, disconnect power from the system by
unplugging all power cords from the power supplies.
Do not disable the power cord grounding plug. The grounding plug is an important safety
feature.
Plug the power cord into a grounded (earthed) electrical outlet that is easily accessible at
all times.
CAUTION: To properly ventilate your system, you must provide at least 12 inches (30.5 cm) of
clearance at the front and back of the computer.
CAUTION: The computer is designed to be electrically grounded. To ensure proper operation,
plug the AC power cord into a properly grounded AC outlet only.

Overview
The Compaq NC3134 Fast Ethernet Server Adapter is a second-generation, dual-port adapter
that offers improved performance over earlier versions of the product. This improvement is due
to the 64-bit/66MHz PCI-to-PCI bridge, as well as to the enhanced MAC silicon technology not
previously available. The NC3134 adapter supports existing 10/100 Ethernet, 100FX, and 1000
SX/LX upgrade modules, which are listed in Table 1-1. The NC3134 adapter is a
option for selected Compaq ProLiant™ servers.

The new NC7132 upgrade module, described later in this chapter, has one RJ-45 connector and
a 10/100/1000 Mb/s port that delivers up to 1000 Mb/s Ethernet over twisted-pair cabling
(Gigabit over copper).
Table 1-1 describes the adapter and upgrade modules.

1-2 Compaq NC3134 Fast Ethernet Server Adapter User Guide
Hardware Overview
IMPORTANT: Two other devices, described separately in the Compaq NC3131 Fast Ethernet Server
Adapter User Guide (available on the Compaq Website at www.compaq.com/support), are compatible
with the NC3134 and the upgrade modules and drivers listed in this guide. These devices are:
■ The NC3131 Fast Ethernet Server Adapter, which supports all the upgrade modules described in this
guide
■ The NC3132 Dual 10/100 Upgrade Module, which you can install in the NC3131 or the NC3134 Fast
Ethernet Server Adapters
The Compaq NC3134 Fast Ethernet server adapter is a high performance, upgradeable adapter
with two fully-integrated 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX networking chips. The adapter contains a
sophisticated 32-bit MAC with enhanced scatter-gather and bus-mastering capabilities. Its true
32-bit architecture enables it to perform high-speed data transfers on the PCI bus using four
DMA channels. It can process high-level commands and perform multiple operations without
processor intervention.
The NC3134 adapter operates in a standard 32-bit PCI slot, supports both 32-bit and 64-bit
systems, and can operate at 33MHz or 66MHz depending on the system.
NC3134 Adapter
The NC3134 adapter has two RJ-45 dual-speed ports. LEDs on each port indicate link, activity,
and port speed.
NOTE: Transmission speed is indicated by the color of the LNK and ACT LED indicators. See Table 1-2
for more information.
