3 Installing the Adapter in the
NetServer
NOTE
If you are replacing an existing adapter with
the HP NetServer 10/100 adapter in
Windows NT, see the section Removing an
Existing Adapter in Windows NT in Chapter
10, "Technical Information," later in this
guide.
1. Shut down Windows (if it’s running) by clicking the Start
button, and then clicking Shut Down.
2. Turn off the server and unplug the power cord. Then
remove its cover.
WARNING
Turn off and unplug power to the server
before removing its cover. Failure to do so
could shock you and may damage the
adapter or server.
3. Remove the cover bracket from a PCI busmaster adapter
slot by unscrewing the screw that secures it. Most
computers have busmaster-enabled slots. If you have
configuration problems, see your computer’s
documentation to determine if the PCI slots are
busmaster-enabled.
4. If you want to enable the Wake On LAN feature, see the
Connect the Wake On LAN Power Cable section in
Chapter 4, "Connecting the Network Cable," later in this
guide before completing the rest of these steps.
5. Insert the HP NetServer 10/100 adapter into a PCI slot and
push it into the slot until it’s firmly seated. Then secure the
adapter bracket with the screw you removed in step 3.
6. Replace the server cover and plug in the power cord.

4 Connecting the Network
Cable
1. Connect a Twisted Pair Ethernet (TPE) network cable to
the adapter as shown below.
• For 100BASE-TX, your network cable must be
Category 5, twisted- pair wiring. If you want to run
the adapter at 100 Mbps, it must be connected to a
100BASE-TX hub or switch (not a 100BASE-T4
hub).
• For 10BASE-T, use Category 3, 4, or 5 twisted-pair
wiring. If you want to use this adapter in a
residential environment, you must use a Category 5
cable.
NOTE
Use a Category 5 TPE cable and a RJ-45
connector for this adapter. Do not use
Category 3 wiring at 100 Mbps. At 100
Mbps, connect to a TX hub, not a T4 hub.
For full duplex, see the Duplex Mode section
later in this guide. For more information on
100BASE-TX wiring requirements and
limitations, see the Fast Ethernet Wiring in
PCI Installation Tips section later in this
guide.

Chapter 4
Connecting the Network Cable
Connect the Wake on LAN Power Cable
For the Wake on LAN (WOL) feature to work correctly, the
adapter must be connected to a continuous power source. This
allows the HP NetServer 10/100 adapter to “listen to” the
network even when the computer is turned off. To install the
WOL power cable, carefully follow the procedure below.
WARNING
Turn off and unplug power to the computer
before installing the WOL cable. The WOL
connector on your motherboard is live when
the computer is plugged in to a power
outlet. Failure to do so could damage the
adapter or computer. Likewise, always
unplug the computer prior to removing an
adapter from the computer.
1. Make sure your computer is unplugged from the power
outlet.
2. Locate the 3-pin WOL connector on the HP NetServer
10/100 adapter. Attach one end of the WOL cable to the
adapter as shown in Figure 4-1.
NOTE
The connector is notched so as to prevent
incorrect attachment.

Chapter 4
Connecting the Network Cable
Figure 4-1. Connecting the Wake On LAN Cable
3. Locate the WOL connector on your motherboard. The
location varies, depending on the vendor and model of
motherboard. The WOL connector is usually located near
other power connectors, such as the LED connectors.
4. Connect the other end of the WOL cable to the connector
on the motherboard as shown in Figure 4-1.
5. Some computers may require you to change a setting in
your computer’s BIOS or Setup program to enable the
WOL feature. Check your computer owner’s manual or
contact your dealer for more information.
6. Replace the computer cover and plug in the power cord.
Using Wake on LAN
The Wake on LAN feature operates according to a published
specification. In simple terms, the specification allows
designers to build network adapters that are capable of
“listening” to network activity even when the computer is
turned off.
WOL adapters have a special low-power standby mode that is
active when the rest of the computer is without power. The
adapter will respond to a special “wake-up” packet sent by
9
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
Chapter 4
Connecting the Network Cable
another computer or network device. Typically, this wake-up
packet causes the adapter to signal the computer to power up
and run a pre-defined program.
See the Troubleshooting and FAQs section later in this guide
for general troubleshooting and a listing of common problems
and solutions for Wake on LAN operability.
Make a Setup Floppy Disk
If you need to use a floppy disk to install the adapter drivers,
use the MAKEDISK.BAT utility located in the ROOT directory
on the HP NetServer 10/100TX PCI LAN Adapter Drivers CD.
MAKEDISK [operating system] [destination]

Priority Packet: An Overview
Priority Packet is a traffic-prioritization utility that enables you
to set up priority filters to process high priority traffic before
normal traffic. Using Priority Packet, you can give priority to
critical applications or users.
Priority Packet is available on the HP NetServer 10/100TX PCI
LAN Adapter Drivers CD in the \Priority Packet directory.
Prioritizing Network Traffic
Priority Packet lets you set up priority filters to send
information from critical nodes or applications with an
indicated priority. By prioritizing traffic at the host or entry
point of the network, network devices can base forwarding
decisions on priority information defined in the packet.
Priority Packet prioritizes traffic based on priority filters —
parameters you assign to be applied to outgoing (transmit)
packets. Using the Priority Filter Wizard, you can set up
pre-defined or custom priority filters based on a node (MAC)
address, Ethernet type, or by various properties of the protocol
18
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
Chapter 5
Configuring the Adapter and Installing Drivers
and port. Priority Packet provides two different methods for
prioritizing traffic: IEEE 802.1p tagging and High Priority
Queue.
IEEE 802.1p Tagging
IEEE 802.1p is a new IEEE standard for tagging, or adding
additional bytes of information to, packets with different
priority levels. Packets are tagged with four additional bytes,
which increase the packet size and indicate a priority level.
When these packets are sent out on the network, the higher-
priority packets are transferred first. Priority packet tagging
(also known as Traffic Class Expediting) allows the adapter to
work with other elements of the network (switches, routers) to
deliver priority packets first. 802.1p tagging enables you to
assign specific priority levels from 0 (low) to 7 (high).
Using the IEEE 802.1p standard for packet tagging, you can
assign values to packets based on their priority. This method
requires a network infrastructure that supports packet tagging.
The routing devices receiving and transferring these packets on
your network must support 802.1p for tagging to be effective.
After you set up the priority filter in Priority Packet, you must
launch HPSet and select 802.1p/802.1Q Tagging on the
Advanced tab.
CAUTION
IEEE 802.1p tagging increases the size of
the packets it tags. Some hubs and switches
won’t recognize the larger packets and will
drop them. Check your hub or switch
documentation to see if it supports 802.1p.
(You can configure the switch to strip the
tags from the packets and send it on to the
next destination as normal traffic.) If these
devices don’t support 802.1p or you’re not
sure, use High Priority Queue (HPQ) to
prioritize network traffic.
19

Chapter 5
Configuring the Adapter and Installing Drivers
The requirements for effectively using IEEE 802.1p tagging
are:
• The other devices receiving and routing 802.1p
tagged packets must support 802.1p.
• The adapters on these devices must support 802.1p
(adapters using the 82558 or later Ethernet
controller). All HP NetServer 10/100 adapters
support 802.1p.
• The adapter(s) cannot be assigned to an adapter
team.
• If you’re setting up VLANs and packet tagging on
the same adapter, you must select the 802.1p/802.1Q
Tagging and the Enable option on the HPSet
Advanced tab.
High Priority Queue
If your network infrastructure devices don’t support IEEE
802.1p or you’re not sure, you can still define priority filters
and send packets as high priority. While High Priority Queue
(HPQ) doesn’t provide the precise priority levels of 802.1p
tagging, it does assign traffic as either high or low priority, and
sends high priority packets first. Therefore, if there are multiple
applications on a system sending packets, the packets from the
application with a priority filter are sent out first. HPQ doesn't
change network routing, or add any information to the packets.
To assign HPQ, you can specify it using Priority Packet when
you create or assign a priority filter.
To effectively use HPQ tagging, the adapter(s) cannot be
assigned to an adapter team.

6 Installing Multiple Adapters
The adapter’s 12-digit, hexadecimal Ethernet address is printed
on a sticker placed on the adapter. The Ethernet address is
sometimes called the node address or the MAC address. Note
that the PCI slot number may not correspond with the physical
connector in your NetServer.
NetWare Users
The server drivers use the PCI slot number to identify each

7 Selecting Duplex Mode
(Optional)
Duplexing is a performance option that lets you choose how the
adapter sends and receives data packets over the network. The
adapter can operate at full duplex only when connected to a full
duplex 10BASE-T or 100BASE-TX switch, or to another full
duplex adapter.
The possible settings for duplexing are:
• Auto (requires a full duplex adapter or switch with
auto-negotiation capability). The adapter negotiates
with the switch to send and receive packets at the
highest rate. This is the default setting. If the switch
does not provide auto-negotiation, the adapter runs
at half duplex.
• Full duplex (requires a full duplex switch or
adapter). The adapter can send and receive packets
at the same time. This mode can increase adapter
performance capability. If the full duplex switch
provides auto-negotiation, the adapter runs at full
duplex. If the full duplex switch does not provide
auto-negotiation, you need to set the adapter duplex
mode manually (see the following sections), because
it defaults to half duplex.
• Half duplex. The adapter performs one operation at
a time; it either sends or receives.
NOTE
If an adapter is running at 100 Mbps and
half-duplex, your potential bandwidth is
higher than if you run it at 10 Mbps and full
duplex.

Selecting Duplex Mode (Optional)
Manually Configuring for Full Duplex
If your switch supports auto-negotiation with the NWay
standard, duplex configuration is automatic and no action is
required on your part. However, many currently installed
switches do not support auto-negotiation. Check with your
network system administrator to verify whether your switch
supports this feature. Most installations require manual
configuration to change to full duplex.
Configuration is specific to the driver you’re loading for your
network operating system (NOS).
To set up the duplex mode, refer to the section below that
corresponds to your operating system.
CAUTION
Adapter performance may suffer or your
adapter may not operate if your switch
doesn’t support full duplex and you
configure the adapter to full duplex. The
switch settings must always agree with the
adapter. Also, make sure to always set the
speed when you configure duplex.
Setting Full Duplex in Windows NT/2000
While running Windows:
1. Double-click the HPSet icon from the Control Panel.
2. Click the Advanced Tab.
3. Select Duplex.
4. In the Duplex Mode list box, click Full Duplex.

Join a Virtual LAN
A Virtual LAN (VLAN) is a logical grouping of network
devices put together as a LAN regardless of their physical
grouping or collision domains. VLANs let a user see and access
only specified network segments. This increases network
performance and improves network security.
VLANs offer the ability to group users and stations together
into logical workgroups. This can simplify network
administration when connecting clients to servers that are
geographically dispersed across the building, campus, or
enterprise network.

on a joint project. Joining workers with VLANs forms logical
working groups.
VLANs are normally only configurable at the switch. However,
the HP NetServer 10/100 adapter software permits you to
configure a NetWare server with up to 64 VLANs, and 55
VLANs for Windows NT 4.0.
To set up VLAN membership, your adapter must be attached to
a switch with VLAN capability.
For more information on VLANs in NetWare, see the
NWTEAM.TXTfile on the HP NetServer 10/100TX PCI LAN
Adapter Drivers CD.
For more information on VLANs in Windows NT, continue to
the next section.
General Configuration Notes
1. Windows NT versions prior to 4.0 don’t support VLANs.
2. VLANs require Windows 2000 or Windows NT 4.0 with
Service Pack 4.0 (or later).
3. In Windows NT and Windows 2000, VLANs cannot be
implemented on adapters that have been configured for
teaming options.
4. 802.1p/802.1q is required for VLANs to function. You can
enable this feature through the Advanced tab in HPSet.
5. HP NetServer 10/100 adapters only support VLANs
configured in compliance with the IEEE 802.1q
specification. No support for ISL (Inter-Switch Link)
VLANs is intended.

8 Choosing Adapter Teaming
Options
The HP NetServer 10/100 adapter provides several options for
increasing throughput and fault tolerance when running
Windows 2000, Windows NT 4.0 or NetWare 4.2 or newer:
NOTE
Use of the teaming features requires HP
Server adapters.
Adapter Fault Tolerance (AFT) — provides automatic
redundancy for your adapter. If the primary adapter fails, the
secondary takes over. Adapter Fault Tolerance supports two to
eight adapters per team.
Adaptive Load Balancing (ALB) — allows balancing the
transmission data flow among two to eight adapters. Also
includes the AFT option. Works with any 100BASE-TX
switch.
Cisco Fast EtherChannel (FEC) — creates a team of two,
four, six or eight adapters to increase transmission and
reception throughput. Also includes AFT option. Requires a
switch with FEC capability. (See your switch documentation
for the number of ports you can aggregate in a team.)
To set up an option, go to the appropriate section in the pages
that follow.
General Configuration Notes
• Windows NT versions prior to 4.0 don’t support
adapter teaming options.
• Adapter Teaming options require Windows NT 4.0
with Service Pack 4 or higher.

Setting up Adapter Fault Tolerance
NOTE
Use this procedure for setting up AFT only.
If setting up ALB or FEC, use the
procedures in the next sections. The AFT
feature runs automatically when you enable
ALB or FEC.
Adapter Fault Tolerance (AFT) provides the safety of an
additional backup link between the server and buffered repeater
or switch. In the case of a buffered repeater or switch port,
cable, or adapter failure, you can maintain uninterrupted
network performance through an adapter team.
AFT is implemented with a primary adapter and one or more
backups, or secondary adapters. During normal operation, the
backup adapters are in standby. If the link to the primary
adapter fails, the link to the secondary adapter takes over.
Setting up Adapter Fault Tolerance in
Windows NT 4.0
1. See software requirements for AFT in the previous section,
General Configuration Notes.
2. Double-click the Network icon in Control Panel.
3. On the Adapters tab, select a HP NetServer 10/100 adapter

Setting up Adaptive Load Balancing
Adaptive Load Balancing (ALB) is a simple and efficient way
to balance the transmission load of your server among two to
eight adapters. With ALB, you group HP NetServer 10/100
adapters in teams. The ALB software continuously analyzes
transmit loading on each adapter and balances the rate across
the adapters as needed. Adapter teams configured for ALB also
provide the benefits of AFT. Receive data is not load-balanced.
NOTE
For maximum benefit, ALB should not be
used under NetBEUI and some IPX
environments. For a list of specific IPX
environments supported, see the Teaming
Options Supported by OS and Protocol
section later in this guide.
To use ALB, your adapters must be configured as a team in
your server and be connected to the same switch.

Setting Up Cisco Fast EtherChannel
Fast EtherChannel (FEC) is a performance technology
developed by Cisco to increase throughput between switches.
HP has implemented FEC on server adapters to increase your
server’s throughput. Unlike ALB, FEC can be configured to
increase both transmission and reception channels between
your server and switch. FEC works only with FEC-enabled
Cisco switches, such as the Catalyst 5000 series. With FEC, as
you add adapters to your server, you can group them in teams to
provide up to 800 Mbps at full duplex, with a maximum of
eight HP NetServer 10/100 adapters. (Note that the switch must
support more than four adapters in FEC in order for more than
four adapters to work in FEC. Consult your switch
documentation.) The FEC software continuously analyzes
loading on each adapter and balances network traffic across the
adapters as needed. Adapter teams configured for FEC also
provide the benefits of AFT.
To use FEC, you must have two, four, six or eight HP
NetServer 10/100 adapters configured as an FEC Team in your
server or workstation and linked to the same FEC-enabled
Cisco switch.
Setting up FEC in Windows NT 4.0

9 Troubleshooting and FAQs
If the Adapter Can’t Connect to the
Network
Make sure the cable is installed properly.
The network cable must be securely attached at both RJ-45
connections (adapter and hub). The maximum allowable
distance from adapter to hub is 100 meters. If the cable is
attached and the distance is within acceptable limits but the
problem persists, try a different cable.
If you’re directly connecting two servers without a hub or
switch, use a crossover cable.
Check the LED lights on the adapter.
The adapter has two diagnostic LEDs, one on each side of the
cable connector. These lights help indicate if there’s a problem
with the connector, cable, or switch/hub.
Responder Testing on the Network (Optional)
Setup can test the adapter more thoroughly if there is a
responder on the network while you run the tests.
1. Go to a NetServer on the network with a comparable PCI
adapter installed.
2. Run the appropriate configuration program for the
installed adapter and set it up as a responder.
3. Return to the server that has the new adapter. Run Setup
and test the adapter by running diagnostics.

10 Technical Information
PCI Installation Tips
PCI computers are designed to automatically configure add-in
cards each time the server starts. Your PCI server sets the I/O
address and IRQ level for your network adapter when the server
starts. The adapter software cannot change these values. If you
experience a problem when the server starts, you may need to
follow additional configuration steps.
On some servers, manual configuration is possible through the
server’s PCI BIOS setup utility. Refer to your server’s
documentation. You may need to verify or change some BIOS
settings.
Some common PCI solutions are listed here:
1. Bus master-enabled slots. On some servers, not all slots are
bus master enabled by default. Check your BIOS PCI bus
setting. It will be set to either Busmaster or
Non-busmastered. Choose Busmaster.
2. Reserve interrupts (IRQs) and/or memory addresses for
ISA adapters. This prevents PCI cards from trying to use
the same settings ISA cards are using. Check your PCI
BIOS setup program. There may be IRQ options such as
Enable for ISA, Reserve for ISA, or Disable for PCI. This
option is sometimes in the Plug and Play area of the BIOS
setup.
3. Enable the PCI slot. In some PCI servers, you must use the
PCI BIOS setup program to enable the PCI slot. This is
especially common in PCI servers with the PhoenixBIOS.
4. Update your PCI BIOS. An updated PCI system BIOS can
correct some PCI configuration problems. Call your server
manufacturer to see if an updated BIOS version is available
for your server.
5. Configure the slot for level-triggered interrupts. The slot
the adapter is using must be configured for level-triggered
interrupts rather than edge-triggered interrupts. Check

of the adapter. Set this selection to APM if one of the following
apply:
1. You are having difficulty with remote wake-up in
computers that are compliant with the PCI 2.2
specification. You are running an OS that is not ACPI
(Advanced Control and Power Interface) aware and you are
not using the 3-pin header cable.
2. You are running an ACPI aware OS (such as Windows 98)
on a non-ACPI computer and the link light goes out when
you shut down the system, disabling Wake-on-LAN.
