About this document The instructions in this document apply to the AD380A (copper) and AD381A (fiber) 2-Port GbE Ethernet cards for Windows™ and Linux systems. You can download the driver at: http://www.hp.com/support/itaniumservers Audience This document is for those who install and configure network interface cards. Organization This document is organized as follows: Chapter 1 Describes the steps to install and configure the AD380A and AD381A 2-Port GbE Ethernet card.
1 Hardware and software installation procedures The HP AD380A (copper) and AD381A (fiber) PCI Express Dual Port Gigabit Server Adapters are high-performance, low-profile PCI Express Ethernet adapters that deliver up to 1000 Mb/s Ethernet over twisted-pair copper cabling or optical fiber cabling. They have a fully integrated controller capable of auto-negotiating a link at 10, 100, or 1000 Mb/s. Network connections are made through two RJ-45 connectors (AD380A) or two duplex LC connectors (AD381A).
Figure 1-1 Inserting the card 4. Secure the adapter bracket, replace the access panel, and plug in the system power cord. Connect the card to the network To connect the card to the network, complete the following steps: 1. Attach the network cable (or cables) to the card, ensuring that the tab on each plug clicks into position, indicating proper seating. • For AD380A adapters (copper), the cabling must be Cat 5 UTP or better with RJ-45 connectors (see Figure 1–2).

Figure 1-3 Connecting the AD381A (fiber) card Refer to the tables in the next chapter for maximum operating distances. 2. Attach the free end of the LAN cable (or cables) to any unused port on the Gigabit switch. Ensure that the switch is configured to support any new connections. If you are using Jumbo Ethernet frames, ensure that the following conditions exist: • All end stations on a given LAN have the same maximum transmission unit (MTU) setting.
Prepare for the Installation After installing the adapter in the server and booting the system, you must install the correct driver. You can download the driver from the Web or get it from the HP SmartSetup media that came with the adapter. NOTE: When using the HP SmartSetup media, the Hardware Update Wizard finds the driver automatically. To download from the Web, complete the following steps: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Go to http://www.hp.com/support/itaniumservers.
Ping a host on the network Once the adapter is properly connected to the network, ensure that its IP addresses is consistent with your network by completing the following steps: 1. Click Start > Run to open the Run dialog box. 2. Type cmd in the Run dialog box and click OK to run the command. 3. At the prompt, type ipconfig and press Enter. This command displays all of the IP addresses, subnet masks, and default gateways configured for the server (see Figure 1–4). Figure 1-4 Ipconfig command output 4. 5.
IMPORTANT: This display indicates that the adapter is not connected to the network. Verify that the adapter is properly connected using the appropriate cable. Check the connection In some cases, the operating system may not even display the network icon in the system taskbar. To verify network connections in this situation, complete the following steps: 1. Click Start > Settings > Control Panel. 2. Double-click Network Connections. 3.
2 Specifications and Regulatory Information This chapter provides an overview of the AD380A and AD381A 2-Port GbE Ethernet cards and lists their physical and environmental specifications. Card Specifications Adapter specs for the AD380A and AD381A are as follows: Table 2-1 AD380A and AD381A card specifications Specification Description Network Controller Chipset Intel® 82571EB Dual MAC/PHY Bus Type x4 PCI Express v1.
Cable specifications AD380A (copper) The AD380A 2–Port GbE adapter can use existing UTP CAT5 (or better) cable to deliver Gigabit Ethernet over copper, according to the IEEE 802.3ab specifications. For new installations, CAT5e (enhanced CAT5) cable is recommended. Maximum distance for Gigabit over copper cable is 100 meters (328 feet).
Figure 2-1 10/100 pinouts using internal, straight-through crossover 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 here.
Figure 2-2 10/100 pinouts using external crossover through twisted-pair media Gigabit over copper pinouts using internal crossover Unlike connections in which the crossover function is implemented internally at the hub or switch, the AD380A 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.
