WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury from electric shock and hazardous
energy levels, only authorized service technicians should attempt to repair this
equipment. Improper repairs can create conditions that are hazardous.
Technician Notes
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 personal injury from electric shock and hazardous
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.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to the equipment:
• Disconnect power from the system by unplugging all power cords from the power
supplies.
• 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.
CAUTION: The computer 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.

Unshielded Twisted Pair Category 5 Cable
The NC1020 Cu Gigabit Server Adapter can use existing Category 5 Unshielded Twisted Pair
(UTP) (or better) cable to deliver Gigabit Ethernet over copper, according to the IEEE
802.3ab specifications. For new installations, Category 5e (enhanced Category 5) cable is
recommended. For troubleshooting and other information about cabling, refer to “UTP Cable
Specifications” in Appendix C.

Installing the Adapter
Overview
This chapter describes installation precautions and explains how to install the adapter. It also
describes how to connect the network cable.
WARNING: To avoid the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment, consult
the safety information and user documentation provided with the equipment before
attempting installation of the adapter.
Many servers are capable of producing energy levels that are considered hazardous.
Users should not remove enclosures, nor should they bypass the interlocks provided
for removal of these hazardous conditions.
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.
NOTE: Before removing the cover of the server, refer to the HP documentation for the proper methods
for installing a PCI card and avoiding electric shock hazards.
Electrostatic Discharge Precautions
A discharge of static electricity from a finger or other conductor can damage components on
the adapter. This can make the adapter inoperable. In addition to the following information,
refer to Appendix B for more precautions.
To prevent electrostatic damage, observe the following precautions:
•
•
•
•
•
Always properly ground yourself when touching a static-sensitive component or
assembly.
Avoid hand contact by transporting and storing parts in static-safe containers.
Keep electrostatic-sensitive parts in their containers until they arrive at static-free
locations.
Place containers on a grounded surface before removing the contents.
Avoid touching pins, leads, or circuitry.

Installing the Adapter in a Server
Refer to the HP ProLiant server documentation for additional information on how to safely
install a PCI card in the server.
Figure 2-1: Installing the adapter in a 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 cover. Failure to do so may damage
the adapter or server.
1. Power down the server.
2. Unplug the power cord from the power outlet.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury from hot surfaces, allow the internal
system components to cool before touching them.
3. Allow the internal system components to cool before touching them.
4. Remove the server cover and cover bracket from a PCI slot.
5. Firmly seat the adapter in the PCI slot and secure the adapter bracket.
6. Replace the server cover and plug in the power cord.
Connecting the Network Cable
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, refer to “UTP Cable Specifications” in Appendix C.

Electrostatic Discharge
Overview
To prevent damage to 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, observe the following precautions:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
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.
Place containers on a grounded surface before removing the contents.
Avoid touching pins, leads, or circuitry.
Always be properly grounded when touching a static-sensitive component or assembly.
Grounding Methods
There are several methods for grounding. Use one or more of the following methods when
handling or installing electrostatic-sensitive parts:
Use a wrist strap connected by a ground cord to a grounded workstation or computer
chassis. Wrist straps are flexible straps with a minimum of 1 megohm ±10 percent
resistance in the ground cords. To provide proper ground, wear the strap snug against the
skin.
Use heel straps, toe straps, or boot straps at standing workstations. Wear the straps on
both feet when standing on conductive floors or dissipating floor mats.
Use conductive field service tools.
Use a portable field service kit with a folding static-dissipating work mat.
If you do not have any of the suggested equipment for proper grounding, have an HP
authorized reseller install the part.
NOTE: For more information on static electricity or assistance with product installation, contact your HP
authorized reseller.

RJ-45 Pinouts and Crossover Function
The Ethernet standard also specifies that each segment implement a crossover function to
connect the transmitter of one device to the receiver of a device at the other end, and vice-
versa. The crossover function may be implemented internally at the hub or switch, or
externally through the twisted-pair media.

10/100 Straight-Through Pinouts
When the crossover function is implemented internally, the port is labeled MDI-X (Medium

twisted pair media should be wired straight-through using the physical pinouts indicated in
Table C-2.

Gigabit over Copper Internal Straight-Through Pinouts
Unlike connections in which the crossover function is implemented internally at the hub or
switch, the NC1020 Cu Gigabit Server Adapter 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 shown in Table C-4.
NOTE: To operate at Gigabit speeds, all four pairs of wires must be terminated within the RJ-45
connector.
