Technician notes
WARNING: Only authorized technicians trained by HP 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.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock, personal injury, and damage to the
equipment:
• Do not attempt to service any parts of the equipment other than those specified in the
following procedure. Any other activities may require that you shut down the server and
remove the power cord.
• Installation and maintenance of this product must be performed by individuals who are
knowledgeable about the procedures, precautions and hazards associated with the
product.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to the equipment:
• 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.
• Unplug the power cord from the power supply to disconnect power to the equipment.
• Do not route the power cord where it can be walked on or pinched by items placed against
it. Pay particular attention to the plug, electrical outlet, and the point where the cord
extends from the server.
CAUTION: To properly ventilate the system, you must provide at least 7.6 cm (3.0 in) of
clearance at the front and back of the server.
CAUTION: The server is designed to be electrically grounded (earthed). To ensure proper
operation, plug the AC power cord into a properly grounded AC outlet only.
NOTE: Any indications of component replacement or printed wiring board modifications may
void any warranty.

Introduction
Overview
The HP NC112T PCI Express Gigabit Server Adapter is a high-performance PCI Express, single port,
gigabit server adapter that delivers up to 1000Mbps Ethernet over twisted-pair (copper) category 5 or
better cabling. It is powered by an Intel 82574L chipset. The NC112T adapter, which ships with a
standard-height chassis bracket attached and also includes a low-profile chassis bracket, has a fully
integrated controller capable of auto-negotiating a link at 10, 100, or 1000Mbps. Network connection is
made through an RJ-45 connector. LED indicators show the link, activity, and speed. See LED indicators
(on page 6) for details. The adapter is a supported option for selected HP ProLiant servers. The adapter
must be installed in a PCI Express slot.
The NC112T adapter supports IPv4 and IPv6 offload. For the latest functionality, features, and operating
system support for this adapter, see the HP website
(http://h18004.www1.hp.com/products/servers/networking/index-nic.html
).
UTP CAT5 cable
The NC112T adapter can use existing UTP CAT5 (or better) cable to deliver Gigabit Ethernet over
copper, according to the IEEE 802.3ab specifications. For new installations, CAT5e (enhanced CAT5)
cable is recommended.
For troubleshooting and other information about cabling, see UTP Cable Specifications (on page 11).
LED indicators
The NC112T adapter has an auto-negotiating 10/100/1000 RJ-45 port. LED indicators show
activity/link and port speed. Standard-height and low-profile brackets are shown below with an RJ-45
port and LED indicators.
