Chapter 3 Installing the Adapter in the NetServer Figure 3-1.
4 Connecting the Network Cable 1. Connect a Twisted Pair Ethernet (TPE) network cable to the adapter as shown below. • For 100BASE-TX, your network cable must be Category 5, twisted- pair wiring. If you want to run the adapter at 100 Mbps, it must be connected to a 100BASE-TX hub or switch (not a 100BASE-T4 hub). • For 10BASE-T, use Category 3, 4, or 5 twisted-pair wiring. If you want to use this adapter in a residential environment, you must use a Category 5 cable. NOTE 2.
Chapter 4 Connecting the Network Cable Connect the Wake on LAN Power Cable For the Wake on LAN (WOL) feature to work correctly, the adapter must be connected to a continuous power source. This allows the HP NetServer 10/100 adapter to “listen to” the network even when the computer is turned off. To install the WOL power cable, carefully follow the procedure below. WARNING 1. 2. Make sure your computer is unplugged from the power outlet. Locate the 3-pin WOL connector on the HP NetServer 10/100 adapter.
Chapter 4 Connecting the Network Cable Figure 4-1. Connecting the Wake On LAN Cable 3. 4. 5. 6. Locate the WOL connector on your motherboard. The location varies, depending on the vendor and model of motherboard. The WOL connector is usually located near other power connectors, such as the LED connectors. Connect the other end of the WOL cable to the connector on the motherboard as shown in Figure 4-1.
Chapter 4 Connecting the Network Cable another computer or network device. Typically, this wake-up packet causes the adapter to signal the computer to power up and run a pre-defined program. See the Troubleshooting and FAQs section later in this guide for general troubleshooting and a listing of common problems and solutions for Wake on LAN operability. Make a Setup Floppy Disk If you need to use a floppy disk to install the adapter drivers, use the MAKEDISK.

Chapter 5 Configuring the Adapter and Installing Drivers Figure 5-1. HPSet for Windows NT Priority Packet: An Overview Priority Packet is a traffic-prioritization utility that enables you to set up priority filters to process high priority traffic before normal traffic. Using Priority Packet, you can give priority to critical applications or users. Priority Packet is available on the HP NetServer 10/100TX PCI LAN Adapter Drivers CD in the \Priority Packet directory.
Chapter 5 Configuring the Adapter and Installing Drivers and port. Priority Packet provides two different methods for prioritizing traffic: IEEE 802.1p tagging and High Priority Queue. IEEE 802.1p Tagging IEEE 802.1p is a new IEEE standard for tagging, or adding additional bytes of information to, packets with different priority levels. Packets are tagged with four additional bytes, which increase the packet size and indicate a priority level.
Chapter 5 Configuring the Adapter and Installing Drivers The requirements for effectively using IEEE 802.1p tagging are: • The other devices receiving and routing 802.1p tagged packets must support 802.1p. • The adapters on these devices must support 802.1p (adapters using the 82558 or later Ethernet controller). All HP NetServer 10/100 adapters support 802.1p. • The adapter(s) cannot be assigned to an adapter team.
6 Installing Multiple Adapters The adapter’s 12-digit, hexadecimal Ethernet address is printed on a sticker placed on the adapter. The Ethernet address is sometimes called the node address or the MAC address. Note that the PCI slot number may not correspond with the physical connector in your NetServer. NetWare Users The server drivers use the PCI slot number to identify each installed adapter.
7 Selecting Duplex Mode (Optional) Duplexing is a performance option that lets you choose how the adapter sends and receives data packets over the network. The adapter can operate at full duplex only when connected to a full duplex 10BASE-T or 100BASE-TX switch, or to another full duplex adapter. The possible settings for duplexing are: • Auto (requires a full duplex adapter or switch with auto-negotiation capability). The adapter negotiates with the switch to send and receive packets at the highest rate.
Chapter 7 Selecting Duplex Mode (Optional) Manually Configuring for Full Duplex If your switch supports auto-negotiation with the NWay standard, duplex configuration is automatic and no action is required on your part. However, many currently installed switches do not support auto-negotiation. Check with your network system administrator to verify whether your switch supports this feature. Most installations require manual configuration to change to full duplex.
Chapter 7 Selecting Duplex Mode (Optional) FORCEDUPLEX=2 SPEED=100 (or 10 if 10BASE-T) For more information, see the ReadMe file for NetWare servers. Setting Full Duplex in Other Operating Systems See the OTHER.TXT ReadMe file in the \OTHER directory on the HP NetServer 10/100TX PCI LAN Adapter Drivers CD. Open the file with any text editor. Join a Virtual LAN A Virtual LAN (VLAN) is a logical grouping of network devices put together as a LAN regardless of their physical grouping or collision domains.
Chapter 7 Selecting Duplex Mode (Optional) on a joint project. Joining workers with VLANs forms logical working groups. VLANs are normally only configurable at the switch. However, the HP NetServer 10/100 adapter software permits you to configure a NetWare server with up to 64 VLANs, and 55 VLANs for Windows NT 4.0. To set up VLAN membership, your adapter must be attached to a switch with VLAN capability. For more information on VLANs in NetWare, see the NWTEAM.
Chapter 7 5. 6. 7. Selecting Duplex Mode (Optional) assigned to adapters that are already in an Adapter Teaming option. Enter the VLAN ID and VLAN Name. The VLAN ID must match the VLAN ID on the switch. Valid ID range is from 0-4095. The VLAN Name is for informational purposes only and doesn’t have to match the name on the switch. Click Join VLAN. Repeat steps 3-5 for each VLAN you want the server to join. The VLANs you add are listed on the Adapters tab. Click Close and restart the computer.
Chapter 7 7. 8. 28 Selecting Duplex Mode (Optional) informational purposes only and doesn’t have to match the name on the switch. Repeat steps 3 and 5 for each VLAN you want the server to join. 802.1p/ 802.1q is enabled for all VLANs after it is enabled for the first VLAN. The VLANs you add are listed on the Adapters tab. At the Virtual LAN tab, click OK and restart the computer.
8 Choosing Adapter Teaming Options The HP NetServer 10/100 adapter provides several options for increasing throughput and fault tolerance when running Windows 2000, Windows NT 4.0 or NetWare 4.2 or newer: NOTE Use of the teaming features requires HP Server adapters. Adapter Fault Tolerance (AFT) — provides automatic redundancy for your adapter. If the primary adapter fails, the secondary takes over. Adapter Fault Tolerance supports two to eight adapters per team.
Chapter 8 Choosing Adapter Teaming Options Setting up Adapter Fault Tolerance NOTE Use this procedure for setting up AFT only. If setting up ALB or FEC, use the procedures in the next sections. The AFT feature runs automatically when you enable ALB or FEC. Adapter Fault Tolerance (AFT) provides the safety of an additional backup link between the server and buffered repeater or switch.
Chapter 8 Choosing Adapter Teaming Options Configuring Properties The default AFT properties are suitable for most applications. To adjust them, follow this procedure. 1. 2. 3. 4. Run HPSet. On the adapter list, select the desired AFT team. Click the Advanced Settings tab. Adjust parameters as required. Click Help for more information. Deleting a Team 1. 2. 3. 4. Double-click the Network icon in Control Panel. On the Adapters tab, select the AFT team to delete. Click Remove.
Chapter 8 NOTE Choosing Adapter Teaming Options The HPANS.LAN driver requires more resources (memory) than a traditional LAN driver. To accommodate this, the minimum and maximum packet receive buffers need to be increased. The exact numbers depend on the complexity of the team; however, the following settings (which are to be added to the STARTUP.NCF file) should be sufficient for most single team systems. Copy these lines into the STARTUP.
Chapter 8 Choosing Adapter Teaming Options ;- Bind the protocol to HPANS instead of to the base driver bind ipx HPANS net=1 Variable Definitions: slot= the slot number your HP NetServer 10/100 adapter is installed in, such as 1. If you don’t know the number, load the driver without it. NetWare will prompt you with available PCI device numbers. Note that you can specify a Preferred Primary adapter, which in most cases will be your highest bandwidth adapter. See the NW411.
Chapter 8 Choosing Adapter Teaming Options Setting up ALB in Windows NT 4.0 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Double-click the Network icon in Control Panel. On the Adapters tab, select an adapter that will be in the team, and then click Properties. (Don’t use an adapter that is on a VLAN.) In the HPSet window, click the Adapter Teaming tab. Click the Add Adapter to a Team button. The Teaming Wizard starts. Follow the wizard steps for assigning adapters to a team.
Chapter 8 Choosing Adapter Teaming Options Setting Up Cisco Fast EtherChannel Fast EtherChannel (FEC) is a performance technology developed by Cisco to increase throughput between switches. HP has implemented FEC on server adapters to increase your server’s throughput. Unlike ALB, FEC can be configured to increase both transmission and reception channels between your server and switch. FEC works only with FEC-enabled Cisco switches, such as the Catalyst 5000 series.
Chapter 8 Choosing Adapter Teaming Options Deleting a Team 1. Double-click the Network icon in Control Panel. 2. On the Adapters tab, select the FEC team to delete. 3. Click Remove. A confirmation dialog box appears. Click Yes. 4. Click Close. Restart when prompted. NOTE When IPX is used, the frame type for each adapter in the team reverts to Auto when a team is deleted. You may need to set it to the specific frame type to connect to your network.
9 Troubleshooting and FAQs If the Adapter Can’t Connect to the Network Make sure the cable is installed properly. The network cable must be securely attached at both RJ-45 connections (adapter and hub). The maximum allowable distance from adapter to hub is 100 meters. If the cable is attached and the distance is within acceptable limits but the problem persists, try a different cable. If you’re directly connecting two servers without a hub or switch, use a crossover cable.
Chapter 9 Troubleshooting and FAQs LED Function Indicators LED Meaning ACT/LNK On The adapter and switch are receiving power; the cable connection between the switch and adapter is good. ACT/LNK Off The adapter and switch are not receiving power or there is a driver configuration problem. If the LED is off: • Make sure power is connected to the PC. If power is connected and the LED is still off: • Make sure the WOL cable is attached and power is applied to the computer.
Chapter 9 Troubleshooting and FAQs Make sure you’re using the correct drivers. Make sure you’re using the drivers that come with this adapter. Drivers that support previous versions of this adapter don’t support this version of the adapter. Make sure the switch port and the adapter have the same duplex setting. If you configured the adapter for full duplex, make sure the switch port is also configured for full duplex.
Chapter 9 Troubleshooting and FAQs • At 100 Mbps, connect to a 100BASE-TX hub/switch (not 100BASE-T4). • For NetWare, make sure you specify the correct frame type in your NET.CFG file. • Make sure the duplex mode setting on the adapter matches the setting on the switch. The adapter stopped working without apparent cause. • • Run the diagnostics. Try reseating the adapter in its slot, or try a different slot if necessary. • The network driver files may be corrupt or missing.
10 Technical Information PCI Installation Tips PCI computers are designed to automatically configure add-in cards each time the server starts. Your PCI server sets the I/O address and IRQ level for your network adapter when the server starts. The adapter software cannot change these values. If you experience a problem when the server starts, you may need to follow additional configuration steps. On some servers, manual configuration is possible through the server’s PCI BIOS setup utility.
Chapter 10 Technical Information your PCI BIOS Setup program. Here are some examples of PCI BIOS setup program parameters: PCI slot #: Slot where the adapter is installed Master: ENABLED Slave: ENABLED Latency timer: 40 Interrupt: Choose an IRQ from the list Edge-level: Level The exact wording of these parameters varies with different servers.
