Installing the Adapter in a Server
Refer to the Compaq ProLiant server documentation for additional information on how to safely
install a PCI card in your server.
Figure 2-1. Installing the adapter in a server
1. If the server is PCI Hot Plug compliant, power down the server and unplug the power
cord.
2. Remove the server cover and the cover bracket from a PCI slot.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury from hot surfaces, allow the internal system
components to cool before touching them.
CAUTION: If the server is not PCI Hot Plug compliant, power it down and unplug the power
cord from the power outlet before removing the server cover. Failure to do so may damage the
adapter or server.
3. Firmly seat the adapter in a PCI slot and secure the adapter bracket.
4. Replace the server cover and plug in the power cord.
Connecting the Network Cable
The NC3122 Server Adapter has one RJ-45 port for 32-bit PCI 10/100 operation. Network
connections for this adapter can employ existing UTP Category 5 (or better) cable for 100 Mb/s
operation, and Category 3 (or better) cable for 10 Mb/s operation.
To secure the cable, plug the cable connector into the RJ-45 port. Ensure that the tab on the plug
clicks into position, indicating that it is properly seated.
For more information, see “UTP Cable Specifications” in Appendix C.
To configure the NC3122 Server Adapter, continue with the procedures specific to your
