1 Installing the HP LAN Card
Installation Requirements
Installation Requirements
Supported Platforms The HP LAN accessory kit is supported by HP Vectra VE4 PCs and
Kayak XA, XU and XW PC Workstations, running the following
operating systems (in English, French, German, Spanish or Italian):
•Windows 95 (all models except Kayak XW, Kayak XU 6/266
FastRAID and Kayak XU 6/300 FastRAID)
•Windows NT 4.0 (all models)
Number of Network
Cards Supported
The HP LAN card installation program supports a maximum of one LAN
card only per PC. If you want to install the HP LAN card in a PC which
already has a LAN card installed, you must install the HP LAN card
software manually. Information on how to do this is included in a
readme.txt file on one of the drivers diskettes in the kit (the PC’s
operating system determines which diskette contains the appropriate
readme.txt file).
Only one HP integrated LAN card is supported per PC. This is because
HP PCs have only one External Start connector on the system board.
Booting/Starting from
Diskette Drive
The PC must be able to boot from the diskette drive. This feature is
configured in the HP PC Setup utility, which is accessed by pressing
during the PC’s startup routine. The location of the setting in the HP PC
Setup utility is typically Security➜Boot Devices Security➜Start from
Floppy.
NT Service Pack If an NT service pack is already installed on the PC, it must be re-
installed after the HP LAN card and software is installed.
For NT4.0 systems, the HP LAN card installation program does not
work on Danish, Dutch, Italian or Norwegian systems where NT service
pack 2 (SP2) is already installed. Service pack 3 (SP3) or higher must
be installed before the HP LAN card installation program is run.

Default Configuration The LAN card installation program’s default configuration is: client for
Microsoft®Networks, IPX, NetBEUI and NDIS. If you want to obtain a
different configuration you must install the HP LAN card software
manually. Information on how to do this is included in a readme.txt file
on one of the drivers diskettes in the kit (the PC’s operating system
determines which diskette contains the appropriate readme.txt file).
HP LAN Setup Diskette The HP LAN Setup diskette must not be write protected during the HP
LAN card installation process.
Operating System
Master Diskettes
The HP LAN card installation program may need to access some of the
operating system’s files. You should have the master diskettes available.

Installing the HP LAN
Card
This is when you physically install the HP LAN card in a free PCI slot in
the PC. You can install the card in a minitower or in a desktop model.
Updating LAN-Specific
Fields in the HP PC
Setup Utility
You need to check that all the LAN-specific fields in the HP PC Setup
utility are correctly set to enable the HP LAN card to function.
Post-installation During this stage, the installation program performs a number of checks
on the PC and, if necessary, updates some software components before
letting the operating system install the HP LAN drivers.

1 Installing the HP LAN Card
Connecting to a Network
Connecting to a Network
Connect the network cable to the RJ-45 UTP (Unshielded Twisted
Pair) LAN connector. The LAN card supports both 10 Mbits/s and
100 Mbits/s operation.
Remote Wake Up
(RWU) and Remote
Power On (RPO)
The HP LAN card has the ability to power up the PC upon receipt of a
special sequence (known as a Magic PacketTM) from the network.
The RWU mode allows the PC to resume normal functioning when it is
in sleep (suspend) mode.
The RPO mode allows the PC to start when it is switched off.
Checking the Installation
Test whether the HP LAN card functions on the network by finding
another network device or performing a network operation. If it does
not work correctly, refer to “Troubleshooting” on page 12.

Troubleshooting
The HP LAN card does
not work
•Check that the installation requirements have been adhered to (refer
to page 3).
•Check that:
❒The pre-installation steps have been followed (refer to page 6).
❒The HP LAN card is correctly installed (refer to page 8).
❒The LAN-specific fields in the HP PC Setup utility are correctly
set (refer to page 9).
❒The post-installation steps have been followed (refer to page 10).

cable connections are secure and that the cables are not damaged. If
you find any loose connections or damaged cables, fix them and then
see if your PC can communicate on the network.
•Check with the network administrator whether the network is active.
The light on the HP LAN card’s rear panel is off when there is no
autonegotiation response, for example, when the LAN cable is not
connected to the network HUB.
•Check that the PCI slot in which the HP LAN card is installed is
enabled in the HP PC Setup utility (Advanced➜PCI Configuration).
The PC cannot be
started or woken up
from the network
•Check that the external start connector cable is connected to the HP
LAN card and to the PC’s system board.
•Check that the LAN-specific fields in the HP PC Setup utility are
correctly set (refer to page 9).
