For best performance, install the adapter in a 64-bit/133 MHz, PCI-X slot. The NC370T adapter has a fully integrated controller capable of auto-negotiating a link at 10, 100, or 1000 Mb/s. The network connection is made through an RJ-45 connector. LED indicators show the speed and activity of the link once it has been established.
10/100/1000 RJ-45 port. LED indicators show link, activity, and port speed. Figure 1-1: RJ-45 port and LED locations The NC370T PCI-X Multifunction Gigabit Server Adapter LED indicators operate as described in the following table.

Introduction Unshielded Twisted Pair Category 5 cable The NC370T PCI-X Multifunction Gigabit Server Adapter can use existing Category 5 Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) (or better) cable to deliver Gigabit Ethernet over copper, according to the IEEE 802.3ab specifications. For new installations, Category 5e cable is recommended.
This server adapter is intended for use with UL Listed ITE equipment having instructions on adding and removing components such as PCI and PCI-X devices. NOTE: Before removing the cover of the server, refer to the HP documentation for the proper methods for installing a PCI card and avoiding electric shock hazards.
Installing the adapter Installing the adapter in a server Refer to 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 cover.
