Embedded Nic; Installing A Non-Hot-Plug Expansion Board - HP ML570 - ProLiant - G2 Setup And Installation Manual

Installing Hardware Options

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
HP 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 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, refer to
"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. Refer to "Opening the
Front Bezel Door" in this chapter.
2. Power down the server. Refer to "Powering Down the Server" in this chapter.
3. Remove the access panel. Refer to "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.
