Where to go for additional help ........................ 5 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.

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.
LED indicators The NC380T adapter has two auto-negotiating 10/100/1000 RJ-45 ports. LED indicators show link/activity and port speed. LED indicator Status Description LNK/ACT No link to the adapter is established. The adapter is not receiving power or the cable connection is faulty.
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).
NOTE: Before removing the cover of your server, refer to the HP documentation for the proper methods for installing a PCI card and avoiding electric shock hazards.
• Always be properly grounded when touching a static-sensitive component or assembly. Installing an adapter in a server See the HP ProLiant server documentation for additional information on how to safely install a PCI card in the server. 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 access panel.

• CAT5 UTP or better twisted-pair • 22-26 AWG, 100Ω @ 1 MHz • EIA/TIA 568a or EIA/TIA 568b NOTE: For Gigabit over copper installations, CAT5 UTP or better 1000Base-T cable must comply with the IEEE 802.3ab 1000Base-T standard. For new installations, CAT5e (enhanced CAT5) or better cable is recommended.
10/100 pinouts using external crossover through twisted-pair media When the crossover function is not provided within the hub or switch, you must implement the crossover through the twisted-pair media using the physical pinouts indicated. Function Color match Function Orange Orange/White Green Blue/White Blue...
Unlike connections in which the crossover function is implemented internally at the hub or switch, the NC380T provides its own automatic crossover function. This means you can wire twisted-pair media straight-through for adapter-to-hub, adapter-to-switch, or adapter-to-adapter connections using the pinouts indicated.
