Technician notes
Warnings, cautions, and notes
WARNING: Only authorized technicians trained by Hewlett Packard Enterprise 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.
This symbol indicates the presence of a hot surface or hot component. If this surface is
contacted, the potential for injury exists.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury from a hot component, allow the surface to cool
before touching.
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 might void any
warranty.

Introduction
Overview
The HPE Ethernet 10Gb 2-port 561T Adapter is a dual-port, 10GBASE-T stand-up NIC card for ML/DL/SL
ProLiant servers that uses the Intel X540 chipset. The adapter is available both built-to-order and
configure-to-order for Gen8 platforms. The Ethernet 10Gb 2-port 561T Adapter includes these advanced
server features:
• SR-IOV support for Windows, Linux, and VMware
The server must have ROM support for SR-IOV and the operating system must support SR-IOV to use
the feature.
• Sea of sensors for temperature monitoring of the device for optimized server power consumption
• Active Health Systems support for Gen8 devices using network-provided information
• Firmware upgrades without being taken offline (reboot to apply changes)
• Copper-based 1/10Gb compatibility for existing RJ-45 infrastructures
For more information about the Ethernet 10Gb 2-port 561T Adapter, see the Hewlett Packard Enterprise
website (http://www.hpe.com/info/proliantnics).
UTP Cat 6 and Cat 6A cable use
The Ethernet 10Gb 2-port 561T Adapter can use existing UTP Cat 6 (or better) cable. Hewlett Packard
Enterprise recommends Cat 6A cable for new installations. For troubleshooting and other information
about cabling, see "UTP cable specifications."
LEDs
The Ethernet 10Gb 2-port 561T Adapter has two ports with LEDs for Link (L) and Activity (A) for each
port. A standard-height bracket is shown in the following illustration with ports and LEDs.

Introduction 7

Installing an adapter
Installation overview
This section describes installation precautions, how to install the adapter, and how to connect the network
cable.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment, consult the safety
information and user documentation provided with the server before attempting the installation.
Some servers contain high energy circuits, high current circuits, moving parts (such as fan blades),
or any combination of these hazards, that may be exposed if covers and access panels are
removed while the product is connected to a power source. These products are intended to be
serviced only by qualified personnel who have been trained to deal with these hazards. Do not
remove enclosures or attempt to bypass any interlocks designed to guard against these hazardous
conditions.
WARNING: 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. This adapter is intended to be installed in Certified (UL or
CSA) ITE equipment having instructions for adding and removing user installed components such
as PCI, PCI-X, and PCI Express devices. Refer to the equipment instructions to verify that it is
suitable for user installed components and that it has the power capacity to support all of the
installed components.
NOTE: Before removing the cover of your server, refer to the HPE documentation for the proper methods
for installing a PCI Express card and avoiding electric shock hazards.
Installing an adapter in a server
For additional information on how to safely install a PCI Express card in the server, see the ProLiant
server documentation.
CAUTION: If the server is not PCI Hot Plug compliant, power it down and disconnect the power
cord from the power outlet before removing the server accesspanel. Failure to do so may damage
the adapter or server.
Procedure
1. Power down the server.
2. Remove the power cord and server access panel.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury from a hot component, allow the surface of the
option card to cool before touching it.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury from hot surfaces, allow the drives and the
internal system components to cool before touching them.
3. Identify the PCIe expansion slot in which the adapter is to be installed. If a low-profile option slot is to
be used, install the low profile bracket onto the adapter.
4. Remove the expansion slot cover from the PCI Express slot.
8 Installing an adapter

5. Firmly seat the adapter in the PCI Express slot.
NOTE: For 1U type servers, you might need to replace the standard profile bracket with a low profile
bracket. See "Installing a low profile bracket."
6. Install the access panel, and then connect the power cord.
Installing a low-profile bracket
You might have to install a low-profile bracket to complete the product installation. The low-profile bracket
replaces the existing standard profile bracket shipped on the product.
To install a low-profile bracket:
Procedure
1. Remove the standard profile bracket, and then place the low-profile bracket over the connector.
2. Be careful not to damage the connector or bind the low-profile bracket to the connector.
Connecting the network cable
Procedure
1. To secure the cable, plug the cable connector into the RJ-45 port.
2. Ensure that the tab on the plug clicks into position indicating that it is properly seated. For more
information, see UTP cable specifications.

Electrostatic discharge
Preventing electrostatic discharge
To prevent damaging the system, be aware of the precautions you must 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.
Procedure
• 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 parts on a grounded surface before removing them from their containers.
• Avoid touching pins, leads, or circuitry.
• Always be properly grounded when touching a static-sensitive component or assembly.
Grounding methods to prevent electrostatic discharge
Several methods are used 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 authorized reseller
install the part.
For more information on static electricity or assistance with product installation, contact the Hewlett
Packard Enterprise Support Center.
