Embedded NIC
The embedded NIC that ships with the server is an RJ-45 10/100 Autosensing
Ethernet network interface controller (NIC) with Wake On LAN (WOL) support and
Preboot eXecution Environment (PXE) support. The embedded NIC shares a PCI bus
with the embedded SCSI controller and the embedded video controller. Using the
Network Teaming and Configuration Utility, the embedded NIC can be teamed with
any other standup NC series NIC for Network Fault Tolerance and Adaptive Load
Balancing. The teaming software can be downloaded from the HP website:

Installing a Non-Hot-Plug Expansion Board
This section gives detailed information about installing a non-hot-plug expansion
board. For a text overview of the hot-plug installation procedure, see “Hot-Installing
an Expansion Board” in Chapter 4, “PCI-X Technology.”
CAUTION:
To avoid risk of damage to the system or expansion boards, remove all
AC power cords before installing or removing expansion boards. With the front panel
Power On/Standby button in the standby position, auxiliary power is still connected to
the expansion slots and may damage the board.
CAUTION:
Be sure that either an expansion board or an expansion slot cover is
installed at all times. Proper airflow can only be maintained when an expansion
board or an expansion slot cover is in place. Leaving a rear panel expansion slot
opening uncovered can lead to improper cooling and thermal damage.
To install an expansion board in a non-hot-plug PCI-X expansion slot:
1.
For tower-model servers only, open the front bezel door. See “Opening the Front
Bezel Door” in this chapter.
2.
Power down the server. See “Powering Down the Server” in this chapter.
3.
Remove the access panel. See “Removing the Access Panel” in this chapter.
4.
Identify the PCI-X expansion slot you want to populate. Slots 5, 6, and 7 are the
non-hot-plug slots. The expansion slot latches and PCI retaining clips for these
slots are color-coded slate-blue.
