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.

Overview

The HP NC340T PCI-X Quad-Port Gigabit Server Adapter is a high-performance, stand-alone Ethernet adapter with two integrated, dual-port controller chips. This configuration enables four Gigabit connections in a single adapter, delivering increased bandwidth for slot-constrained servers, and high performance and reliability with up to 1000 Mb/s Ethernet over twisted-pair (copper) cabling on each port. For best performance, install the adapter in a 64-bit/133 MHz PCI-X slot.

The NC340T adapter has four auto-negotiating 10/100/1000 RJ-45 ports. LED indicators show activity/link and port speed. See LED indicators (on page 7) for details.

The adapter is a supported option for selected HP ProLiant servers and supports current standards for system manageability and power management, such as ACPI and APM.

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 NC340T 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).
