Installing an adapter In this section Installation overview ................................................................................................................................. 8 Preventing electrostatic discharge............................................................................................................... 8 Installing an adapter in a server.................................................................................................................
• Avoid touching pins, leads, or circuitry. • Always be properly grounded when touching a static-sensitive component or assembly. Installing an adapter in a server See the HP ProLiant server documentation for additional information on how to safely install a PCI 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.

Pin Function Color match Function Pin 7 Brown 7 8 Brown/White 8 10/100 pinouts using external crossover through twisted-pair media When the crossover function is not provided within the hub or switch, you must implement the crossover through the twisted-pair media using the physical pinouts indicated.
Gigabit over copper pinouts using internal crossover for RJ-45 Unlike connections in which the crossover function is implemented internally at the hub or switch, the NC340T 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 indicated. NOTE: To operate at Gigabit speeds, all four pairs of wires must be terminated within the RJ45 connector.
