1 Hardware and software installation procedures
The HP AD380A (copper) and AD381A (fiber) PCI Express Dual Port Gigabit Server Adapters
are high-performance, low-profile PCI Express Ethernet adapters that deliver up to 1000 Mb/s
Ethernet over twisted-pair copper cabling or optical fiber cabling. They have a fully integrated
controller capable of auto-negotiating a link at 10, 100, or 1000 Mb/s. Network connections are
made through two RJ-45 connectors (AD380A) or two duplex LC connectors (AD381A). LED
indicators show the link speed and activity. These adapters are supported on selected HP Integrity
servers. You can add or replace them in your system without shutting down or rebooting, using
a process called Online Addition and Replacement (OLAR). However, they must be installed in
a PCI Express slot.
If your AD380A or AD381A card is factory installed, you do not need to perform the hardware
and software installation steps described in this chapter. However, you need to configure the
card's IP address and possibly set other parameters and options, such as those mentioned in the
Network Card Configuration worksheet.
Installing the hardware
The following instructions guide you through the hardware installation process. These instructions
assume you are not using the OLAR process.
Access the system card bay
To access the system card bay, complete the following steps:
1. If the system is running, issue the sync command. Then, shut down the system by executing
the shutdown -h command. Enter Y to continue to the shutdown prompt.
2. Wait for the system to shut down completely, and then power off the system by pressing
the system off button. Ensure that the system is grounded, and unplug the server power
cord.
WARNING! You must turn off and unplug the power to the HP server before removing
its cover. Failure to do so could inflict a dangerous shock to you and may damage the adapter
or the server.
3. Open the system to gain access to the PCIe backplane.
4. Select an unused PCIe slot and remove the slot cover.
Install the card
To install the card, complete the following steps:
1. Check the latest 1 Gb Ethernet support matrix to see the systems that support this card, how
many cards are allowed per system, and if any software updates are needed. The support
matrix is available in the “I/O Cards and Networking Software” section at:
http://docs.hp.com
2. Record the serial number and MAC address located on the card for future reference.
CAUTION: Electrostatic discharge can damage electronic components. You must observe
antistatic precautions and wear electrostatic discharge (ESD) straps before installing the
card. Refer to the section about electrostatic discharge in Chapter 2 for more information.
3. Grasp the card by its edges or faceplate with both hands. Insert the card into the slot and
firmly, but gently, press the card in until it is fully seated (see Figure 1–1).

4. Secure the adapter bracket, replace the access panel, and plug in the system power cord.
Connect the card to the network
To connect the card to the network, complete the following steps:
1. Attach the network cable (or cables) to the card, ensuring that the tab on each plug clicks
into position, indicating proper seating.
• For AD380A adapters (copper), the cabling must be Cat 5 UTP or better with RJ-45
connectors (see Figure 1–2).
NOTE: The AD380A adapter can use existing UTP CAT5 cable to deliver Gigabit
Ethernet over copper, according to the IEEE 802.3ab specifications. For new installations,
CAT5e (enhanced CAT5) cable is recommended.
• For AD381A adapters (fiber), the cabling can be either 62.5 micron or 50 micron
multimode fiber optic (MMF) cable with LC connectors (see Figure 1–3). If the remote
connection is type SC, you will need an LC-to-SC conversion cable.

Refer to the tables in the next chapter for maximum operating distances.
2. Attach the free end of the LAN cable (or cables) to any unused port on the Gigabit switch.
Ensure that the switch is configured to support any new connections.
If you are using Jumbo Ethernet frames, ensure that the following conditions exist:
• All end stations on a given LAN have the same maximum transmission unit (MTU)
setting.
• Intermediate stations such as switch ports in your LAN have an MTU equal to or greater
than the end station’s MTU.
3. Ensure that the power cable is connected to system.
4. Power up the system.
NOTE: To obtain updates for the adapter driver, check the HP Driver Support site:
http://www.hp.com/support/itaniumservers.
Installing the software
HP Integrity servers automatically detect and configure PCI-compliant adapters when restarting.
The adapter IRQ level is automatically set by the Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI) each time
the server restarts. If configuration problems are encountered, see the HP Support site:
http://support.hp.com/.

Electrostatic discharge
The following sections provide information on preventing electrostatic discharges and grounding
methods to prevent electrostatic discharge.
Preventing electrostatic discharge
To prevent damaging 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:
• 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 to prevent electrostatic discharge
Several methods are used 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 megaohm ±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.
• Avoid touching pins, leads, or circuitry.
• 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 an authorized
reseller install the part.
For more information on static electricity or assistance with product installation, contact an
authorized reseller.
