Introduction Overview The HP NC382T PCI Express Dual Port Multifunction Gigabit Server Adapter is a high-performance, dual port, Ethernet adapter that delivers up to 1000 Mb/s Ethernet over twisted-pair (copper) cabling. The NC382T 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 activity and port speed of the link once it has been established.
LED indicator Status Description ACT Off No link to the adapter is established. The adapter is not receiving power or the cable connection is faulty. Green & Flashing The adapter is sending or receiving network data at 10/100/1000 Mb/s as indicated by the 10/100/1000 (speed) LED. The adapter is receiving power and the cable connection is good. Off (Dark) 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 chapter 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 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.
Connecting the network cable Network connections for the NC382T adapter can employ existing UTP CAT5 (or better) cable for Gigabit over copper transmissions. For new installations, CATe (enhanced CAT5) or better cable is recommended. To secure the cable, plug the cable connector into the RJ-45 port. Ensure that the tab on the plug clicks into position indicating that it is properly seated. For more information, see UTP cable specifications (on page 11).
Specifications HP NC382T PCI Express Dual Port Multifunction Gigabit Server Adapter specifications Specification Value Network Controller Chipsets Broadcom 5709C Bus Type PCI Express Bus Width Four lanes Bus Speed 2.5 GHz Data Transfer Method Bus Master DMA Power Requirement Operating Voltage: +3.3V +/-5% Power Consumption: 3.63 Watts Maximum: 1.1A @ 3.3V (DC) Wake on LAN Support Enabled; Disabled; Default:Disabled Standards Supported IEEE802.3ab, IEEE802.3ad, IEEE802.3u, IEEE802.
NOTE: For Gigabit over copper installations, CAT5 UTP or better 1000Base-T cable must comply with the IEEE 802.3ab 1000Base-T standard. For new installations, CAT5e (enhanced CAT5) or better cable is recommended. Maximum distances for Gigabit over copper cable are 100 meters (328 feet). Automatic MDI Crossover The HP NC382T PCI Express Dual Port Multifunction Gigabit Server Adapter performs automatic MDI crossover, which eliminates the need for crossover cables or cross-wired (MDIX) ports.
