Connecting the network cable

The HP NC370F PCI-X Multifunction Gigabit Server Adapter uses an LC fiber port. This
port supports multimode fiber with a maximum cable length dependent on the fiber type,
mode, and cable size. Refer to Appendix C for the maximum cable length.
To insert the LC connector into the adapter port, line up the slot on the fiber connector with
the adapter and gently push until the retainers click into place.

WARNING: If the server is not PCI Hot Plug compliant, power it down and unplug the
power cord from the power outlet before removing the server cover. Failure to do so
may damage the adapter or server.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury from hot surfaces, allow the internal
system components to cool before touching them.
