energy levels, do not exceed the level of repairs specified in these procedures.
Because of the complexity of the individual boards and subassemblies, do not attempt
to make repairs at the component level or to make modifications to any printed wiring
board. Improper repairs can create conditions that are hazardous.
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.

Introduction
The HP NC370T PCI-X Multifunction Gigabit Server Adapter is a high-performance, single
port, Ethernet adapter that delivers up to 1000 Mb/s Ethernet over twisted-pair (copper)
cabling. For best performance, install the adapter in a 64-bit/133 MHz, PCI-X slot. The
NC370T adapter has a fully integrated controller capable of auto-negotiating a link at 10,
100, or 1000 Mb/s. The network connection is made through an RJ-45 connector. LED
indicators show the speed and activity of the link once it has been established.
The NC370T PCI-X Multifunction Gigabit Server Adapter is a supported option for selected
HP ProLiant servers. In addition to features that have shipped with other server adapters, the
NC370T adapter also supports Receive Side Scaling, TCP/IP Offload Engine (TOE), iSCSI,
