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 NC360T PCI Express Dual Port Gigabit Server Adapter is a high-performance, low-profile, PCA PCI Express Ethernet adapter that delivers up to 1000 Mb/s Ethernet over twisted-pair (copper) category 5 or better cabling. It is powered by an Intel 82571EB chipset. The NC360T adapter, which ships with a standard-height chassis bracket and also includes a low-profile chassis bracket, has a fully integrated controller capable of auto-negotiating a link at 10, 100, or 1000 Mb/s. Network connection is made through the two RJ-45 connectors. LED indicators show the link speed and activity. 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.

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 NC360T 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 12).

LED indicators

The NC360T adapter has two auto-negotiating 10/100/1000 RJ-45 ports. LED indicators show activity/link and port speed. Standard-height and low-profile brackets are shown below with RJ-45 ports and LED indicators.

Introduction 6

The NC360T Gigabit Server Adapter LED indicators operate as described in the following table.

LED indicator Status Description

Activity/Link On This mono-color green LED indicates that the

link to the adapter is established. The adapter is receiving power and the cable connection is working.

Speed Off The adapter is connected at 10 Mb/s.

Off No link to the adapter is established. The

adapter is not receiving power or the cable connection is faulty.

Flashing The adapter is sending or receiving network

data at 10/100/1000 Mb/s, as indicated by the 10/100/1000 (speed) LED. The adapter is receiving power, and the cable connection is working.

Green The adapter is connected at 100 Mb/s. Orange The adapter is connected at 1000 Mb/s.

Installation overview

This section describes installation precautions, how to install the adapter, and how to connect the network cable.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment, consult the

safety information and user documentation provided with the server before attempting the installation.

Many servers are capable of providing energy levels that are considered hazardous and are intended to be serviced only by qualified personnel who have been trained to deal with these hazards. Do not remove enclosures or attempt to bypass any interlocks that may be provided for the purpose of removing these hazardous conditions.

WARNING: Installation of this adapter should be performed by individuals who are both

qualified in the servicing of computer equipment, and trained in the hazards associated with products capable of producing hazardous energy levels.

This adapter is intended to be installed in Certified (UL or CSA) ITE equipment having instructions for adding and removing user installed components such as PCI, PCI-X, and PCI Express devices. Refer to the equipment instructions to verify that it is suitable for user installed components and that it has the power capacity to support all of the installed components.

NOTE: Before removing the cover of your server, refer to the HP documentation for the proper

methods for installing a PCI Express card and avoiding electric shock hazards.

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.
