Overview of the Installation Procedure
CAUTION Your PC and network interface card can be permanently damaged by
static electricity. Before handling the card, touch the unpainted part of
your PC’s metal chassis. Maintain grounding by wearing a wrist strap
attached to the chassis. Handle the card by its backplate and top edge.
Do not touch the edge connector.
Installing the 3C905B-TX NIC is a 4-step process. You need to:
Install the card in your PC.
•
Connect the card to the network.
•
Update LAN-specific fields in the HP PC Setup utility.
•
Install the driver software.
•
After you complete the installation, you can use the NIC Doctor software
to troubleshoot any problems.

WARNING For your safety, never remove the PC’s cover without first
removing the power cord, data cables and any connection to a
telecommunications network. Always replace the cover before
switching on again.
For complete information on how to install an accessory card, refer to
your PC’s documentation. This is available from your PC’s support web
site (refer to page 18.) The following steps are given as a guide:
With the PC turned off, disconnect the power cord and any connection
1
to a telecommunications network, and then remove the cover.
Choose an empty PCI slot. If you do not know how to identify a PCI
2
slot, refer to your PC’s documentation.
Remove the metal slot cover.

Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Q. Which PCI slot is best for my NIC.
A. The 3Com PCI NIC is designed to work in any PCI slot.
Q. Which PCI slot(s) are “bus mastering” in my PC?
A: All PCI slots on the supported HP PCs support Bus Master.
Q. Where do I find the driver installation Readme files?
A. The various Readme files can be found in the \HELP directory of
EtherDisk
Q. Can I use the NIC instead of the integrated LAN supplied on my PC?
A. Yes, but you will need to deactivate the integrated LAN. Your PC’s
User’s Guide will tell you how to do this. You might not be able to use
the Remote Power-On feature of your NIC because some PCs with an
integrated LAN do not have a remote wake-up connector.
Q. How do I remove the software that comes with the NIC from my system?
A. You can remove the 3Com NIC Diagnostics Program from your
system at any time by running the uninstaller in the Add/Remove
Programs Control Panel. This will remove the diagnostics program and
the 3Com tray Icon. If you remove all the Fast EtherLink XL/EtherLink
XL NICs from the Network control panel the uninstall program will be
run automatically.
®
diskette #3.
Q. Does the NIC support shared interrupts?
A. The PCI NIC and the drivers supplied support shared interrupts.
However, because there is no industry-standard way of implementing
shared interrupts, other NICs may support them differently, or not at
all. If you have another PCI NIC that does not support shared
interrupts, either contact the manufacturer for a shared interrupt
driver or try to manually assign it a different interrupt. Additionally,
your Operating System may not properly support shared interrupts.
16 English
HP 10/100 3Com 3C905B-TX Network Interface Card Installation Guide
Troubleshooting
Q. Can the NIC be configured to boot from the network?
A. Yes, but you can only boot a PC from the network if it has boot ROM
integrated in its BIOS (for example, the HP Vectra VL Series 8 PC) or if
a boot ROM chip is installed on the NIC. This component can be
ordered from 3Com. To configure the card for remote boot, use your
PC’s Setup program.
Troubleshooting
The 3C905B-TX Card Does Not Work
If your network interface does not work, try the following:
Check that:
1
The card is correctly installed (refer to “Installing the Network
•
Interface Card” on page 7.)
The LAN-specific fields in the HP PC Setup utility are correctly
•
set (refer to “Updating LAN-specific Fields in the HP PC Setup
Utility” on page 9.)
The software installation steps have been followed (refer to
•
“Software Installation Procedure” on page 10.)
Check the network cables. In particular, check that the network
2
cable connections are secure and that the cables are not damaged. If
you find any loose connections or damaged cables, fix them and then
see if your PC can communicate on the network.
Check that either the 10 LNK or 100 LNK green LED on the
3
3C905B-TX NICs rear panel is on (refer to “3C905B-TX NIC
Specifications” on page 19.) The green LED on the card’s rear panel
is off when there is no network link, for example, when the LAN
cable is not connected to the network hub.
For NT 4.0 systems, check that your Service Pack has been
4
reinstalled. In case of doubt, reinstall the Service Pack. On some
platforms you also need to reinstall certain drivers after installing the
Service Pack. Refer to your PC documentation for more information.

The PC Cannot Be Started or Woken-Upfrom the Network
If the PC has been powered off (for example, due to an electrical
1
power failure, or because the power cord has been removed), the
Remote Power On (RPO) will not work. To enable the RPO, you must
first power on the PC, allow the Operating System to boot, then shut
down the PC.
Check that the WOL connector cable is connected to the network
2
interface card and to the PC’s system board.
Check that the LAN-specific fields in the HP PC Setup utility are
3
correctly set (refer to refer to “Updating LAN-specific Fields in the
HP PC Setup Utility” on page 9.)
NOTE RPO is only supported under Windows 95, Windows 98 and Windows
NT 4.0.

15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in
a residential installation. This equipment generates and uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not
installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If
