Step 2: Install the card

Check the latest support matrix for Gigabit Ethernet to see the systems that support this card, how many cards per system, and if any software updates are needed. The support matrix is available on the web at http://docs.hp.com under “Networking and Communications.”

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.

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.
