Introduction Overview The HP NC112T PCI Express Gigabit Server Adapter is a high-performance PCI Express, single port, gigabit server adapter that delivers up to 1000Mbps Ethernet over twisted-pair (copper) category 5 or better cabling. It is powered by an Intel 82574L chipset. The NC112T adapter, which ships with a standard-height chassis bracket attached and also includes a low-profile chassis bracket, has a fully integrated controller capable of auto-negotiating a link at 10, 100, or 1000Mbps.
The NC112T LED indicators operate as described in the following table. LED indicator Status Description Activity/Link On This mono-color green LED indicates that the link to the adapter is established. The adapter is receiving power and the cable connection is working. Off No link to the adapter is established. The adapter is not receiving power or the cable connection is faulty.
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.
Installing an adapter in a server See the HP ProLiant server documentation for additional information on how to safely install a PCI Express 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. Failure to do so may damage the adapter or server. 1. Power down the server. 2. Remove the power cord and server access panel. Then remove the cover bracket from a PCI Express slot.
2. Remove the standard profile bracket and place the low profile bracket over the connector. Be careful not to damage the connector or bind the low profile bracket to the connector. Preventing electrostatic discharge To prevent damaging 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.
