Step 2: Install the card

Check the latest support matrixes to see the systems that support this card, how many cards per system, and if any software updates are needed. There are support matrixes for both Gigabit Ethernet and SCSI available on the web at http://docs.hp.com under “I/O Cards and Networking Software.”

Observe the antistatic precautions. HP recommends wearing ESD straps when installing the card.

Record the serial number and MAC address located on the card for future reference. The MAC address labelled on the card refers to LAN port A. Add 1 to obtain the MAC address for LAN port B.

Grasp the card by its edges or faceplate with both hands, insert the card into the slot, and firmly but gently press the card in until it is fully seated.

Secure the card and reassemble the system.
