3 Installing the A da pter in the

NetServer

NOTE If you are replacing an existing adapter with

the HP NetServer 10/100 adapter in Wind ows NT , see the section Removing an Existing Adapter in Windows NT in Chapter 10, "Technical Information," later in this guide.

1. Shut down Windows (if it’s running) by clicking the Star t

button, and then clicking Shut Down.

2. Tur n off the server and un pl ug the power cord. Then

remove its cover.

WARNING Turn off and unplug power to the server

before removing its cover. Failure to do so could shock you and may damage the adapter or server.

3. Remove the cover bracket from a PCI busmaster adapter

slot by unscrewing the screw tha t secures it. Most computers have busmaster-enabled slots. If you have configuration problems, see your computer’s documentation to determine if the PCI slots are busmaster-enabled.

4. If you want to enable the Wake On LAN feature, see the

Connect the Wake On LAN Power Cable section in Chapter 4, "Connecting the Network Cable," later in this guide before completing the rest of these steps.

5. Insert t he HP NetServer 10/100 adapter in to a PCI slot and

push it into the slot un til it’s firmly seated. Then secure the adapter bracket with the screw you removed in step 3.

6. Repl ace the s erver cover and p lug in th e power cord.

4 Connecting the Network

Cable

1. Connect a Twisted Pair Ethernet (TPE) network cable to

the adapter as shown below.

• For 100BASE-TX, your network cable must be

Category 5, twisted- pair wiring. If you want to run the adapter at 100 Mbps, it must be connected to a 100BASE-TX hub or switch (not a 100BASE-T4 hub).

• For 10BASE-T, use Category 3, 4, or 5 twisted-pair

wiring. If you want to use this adapter in a residential environment, you must use a Category 5 cable.

NOTE Use a Category 5 TPE cable and a RJ-45

connector for this adapter. Do not use Category 3 wiring a t 100 Mbps. At 100 Mbps, connect to a TX hub, not a T4 hub. For full duplex, see the Duplex Mode section later in this guide. For more information on 100BASE-TX wiring requirements an d limitations, see the Fast Ethernet Wiring in PCI Installation Tips section later in this guide.

2. To configure the adapter, continue with the procedures

specific to your operating system outlined later in this guide.

Chapter 4 Connecting the Network Cable

Connect the Wake on LAN Power Cable

For the Wake on LAN (WOL) feature to work correctly, the adapter must be connected to a continuous power source. This allows the HP NetServer 10/100 adapter to “listen to” the

network even when the computer is turned off. To install the WOL power cabl e, car efully follow the p rocedure below.

WARNING Turn off and unplug power to the computer

before installing the WOL cable. The WOL conn ector on your motherboard is live when the computer is plugged in to a power outlet. Failure to do so could damage the adapter or computer. Likewise, always unplug the computer pri or to removing an adapter from the computer.

1. Make sure your computer is unplugged from the power

outlet.

2. Locate the 3-pin WOL connector on the HP NetServer

10/100 adapter. Attach one end of the WOL cable to the adapter as shown in Figur e 4-1.

NOTE The connect or is notched s o a s to preven t

incorrect attachment.

Chapter 4 Connecting the Network Cable

Figure 4-1. Connecti ng t he Wake On LAN Cable

3. Locate the WOL connector on your m other boa rd. The

location varies, depending on the vendor and model of motherboard. The WOL connector is usually located near other power con nector s, such as th e LED conn ectors.

4. Connect the oth er end of t he WOL cable to the connector

on the motherboard as shown in Figure 4-1.

5. Some computers may require you to change a setting in

your computer’s BIOS or Setup program to enable the WOL feature. Check your computer owner’s manual or contact your dealer for more information.

6. Repl ace the com p uter cover and plug i n the power cord .

Using Wake on LAN

The Wake on LAN feature operates according to a published specification. In simple terms, the specification allows designers to build network adapters that are capable of “listening” to network activity even when the computer is turned off.

WOL adapters have a special low-power standby mode that is active when the rest of the computer is without power. The adapter will respond to a special “wake-up” packet sent by

Chapter 4 Connecting the Network Cable

another computer or network device. Typically, this wake-up packet causes the adapter to signal the computer to power up and run a pre-defined program.

See th e Troubleshooting and FAQs section later in this guide for general troubleshooting and a listing of common problems and solutions for Wake on LAN operability.

Make a Setup Floppy Disk

If you need to use a floppy disk to install the adapter drivers, use the MAKEDISK.BAT utility located in the ROOT directory on the HP NetServer 10/100TX PCI LAN Adapter Drivers CD.

MAKEDISK [operating system] [destination]

where [operating system] is the OS for which you are creating the diskette and [destination] is the drive letter and path (such as A:).

The possible [operating system] options are:

W2K

= Microsoft Windows 2000

= Micros oft Windows NT

= Novell NetWare servers and clients

OS2

= IBM OS/2

UTIL

= DOS Diagnostics and i nformation
