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 NC380T PCI Express Dual Port Multifunction Gigabit Server Adapter is a high-performance, dual port, Ethernet adapter that delivers up to 1000 Mb/s Ethernet over twisted-pair (copper) cabling. The NC380T 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. See LED indicators (on page 7) for details.

The NC380T is a supported option for selected HP ProLiant servers. In addition to features that have shipped with other server adapters, the NC380T adapter will also support Receive Side Scaling, TCP/IP Offload Engine (TOE), iSCSI, and Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA) when those features become available. For details about each of these advanced features and for other information regarding the latest functionality, features, and operating system support for this server adapter, see the HP website (http://h18004.www1.hp.com/products/servers/networking/index-nic.html

Introduction 6

Introduction 7

UTP CAT5 cable

The NC380T 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).
