1 Installing the HP LAN Card

Installation Requirements

Supported Platforms The HP LAN accessory kit is supported by HP Vectra VE4 PCs and

Kayak XA, XU and XW PC Workstations, running the following

operating systems (in English, French, German, Spanish or Italian):

• Windows 95 (all models except Kayak XW, Kayak XU 6/266

FastRAID and Kayak XU 6/300 FastRAID)

• Windows NT 4.0 (all models)

Number of Network

Cards Supported

The HP LAN card installation program supports a maximum of one LAN

card only per PC. If you want to install the HP LAN card in a PC which

already has a LAN card installed, you must install the HP LAN card

software manually. Information on how to do this is included in a

readme.txt file on one of the drivers diskettes in the kit (the PC’s

operating system determines which diskette contains the appropriate

readme.txt file).

Only one HP integrated LAN card is supported per PC. This is because

HP PCs have only one External Start connector on the system board.

Booting/Starting from

Diskette Drive

The PC must be able to boot from the diskette drive. This feature is

configured in the HP PC Setup utility, which is accessed by pressing

during the PC’s startup routine. The location of the setting in the HP PC

Setup utility is typically Security

➜Boot Devices Security➜Start from

Floppy.

NT Service Pack If an NT service pack is already installed on the PC, it must be re-

installed after the HP LAN card and software is installed.

For NT4.0 systems, the HP LAN card installation program does not

work on Danish, Dutch, Italian or Norwegian systems where NT service

pack 2 (SP2) is already installed. Service pack 3 (SP3) or higher must

be installed before the HP LAN card installation program is run.

Default Configuration The LAN card installation program’s default configuration is: client for

Microsoft

®

Networks, IPX, NetBEUI and NDIS. If you want to obtain a

different configuration you must install the HP LAN card software

manually. Information on how to do this is included in a readme.txt file

on one of the drivers diskettes in the kit (the PC’s operating system

determines which diskette contains the appropriate readme.txt file).

HP LAN Setup Diskette The HP LAN Setup diskette must not be write protected during the HP

LAN card installation process.

Operating System

Master Diskettes

The HP LAN card installation program may need to access some of the

operating system’s files. You should have the master diskettes available.

1 Installing the HP LAN Card

Overview of the Installation Procedure

CAUTION Make sure that you read the section entitled “Installation

Requirements” on the previous two pages before you install the HP LAN

card and software.

Installing the HP LAN card is a 4-stage process. You need to:

1 Carry out the pre-installation steps.

2 Install the HP LAN card.

3 Update fields in the HP PC Setup utility.

4 Carry out the post-installation steps.

Pre-installation The pre-installation stage involves:

• Running the HP LAN setup program.

• Re-starting the PC to update the BIOS. The installation program

performs this task automatically.

You must carry out the pre-installation before you physically install the

HP LAN card in the PC.

Installing the HP LAN

Card

This is when you physically install the HP LAN card in a free PCI slot in

the PC. You can install the card in a minitower or in a desktop model.

Updating LAN-Specific

Fields in the HP PC

Setup Utility

You need to check that all the LAN-specific fields in the HP PC Setup

utility are correctly set to enable the HP LAN card to function.

Post-installation During this stage, the installation program performs a number of checks

on the PC and, if necessary, updates some software components before

letting the operating system install the HP LAN drivers.

slot’s retaining bracket, which can be found at the back of the PC.

3 Remove the slot cover.

4 Connect the External Start cable and, without bending it, insert the

card into the accessory slot.

5 Secure the card by replacing the slot cover screw or the retaining

bracket and its screw, as appropriate for the PC.

Post-installation Procedure

10English

Post-installation Procedure

CAUTION Make sure that you have installed the HP LAN card before you perform

the post-installation step.

Post-installation on a Windows 95 System

1 Restart the PC. Windows 95 automatically detects, and installs the

software for, the HP LAN card. You may be asked to insert one of the

Windows 95 installation diskettes.

2 Restart your PC when prompted to do so. Remember to remove the

HP LAN Setup diskette before you do this.

The HP LAN card is now ready to use.

Post-installation on a Windows NT 4.0 System

1 Restart the PC and start Windows. You do not need to

press ++ to log on.

2 When prompted to do so, insert the HP LAN Setup diskette into the

diskette drive, and click OK. The setup wizard starts, and displays a

dialog box indicating that the PC is ready to install the HP LAN card.

3 Type the path to the NT master disk (C:\I386 if the operating system

files were copied to the hard disk during the installation of Windows

NT), then click Next. The installation of the HP LAN card starts

automatically. When the installation is complete, the last page of the

wizard is displayed.

4 Click Finish to end the wizard.

5 Restart your PC when prompted to do so. Remember to remove the

HP LAN Setup diskette before you do this.

CAUTION If a service pack was already installed on the PC before the HP LAN card

was installed, the service pack must be re-installed before the HP LAN

card will function.

The HP LAN card is now ready to use.

1 Installing the HP LAN Card

Connecting to a Network

Connect the network cable to the RJ-45 UTP (Unshielded Twisted

Pair) LAN connector. The LAN card supports both 10 Mbits/s and

100 Mbits/s operation.

Remote Wake Up

(RWU) and Remote

Power On (RPO)

The HP LAN card has the ability to power up the PC upon receipt of a

special sequence (known as a Magic Packet

TM

) from the network.

The RWU mode allows the PC to resume normal functioning when it is

in sleep (suspend) mode.

The RPO mode allows the PC to start when it is switched off.

Checking the Installation

Test whether the HP LAN card functions on the network by finding

another network device or performing a network operation. If it does

not work correctly, refer to “Troubleshooting” on page 12.

Troubleshooting

The HP LAN card does

not work

• Check that the installation requirements have been adhered to (refer

to page 3).

• Check that:

❒ The pre-installation steps have been followed (refer to page 6).

❒ The HP LAN card is correctly installed (refer to page 8).

❒ The LAN-specific fields in the HP PC Setup utility are correctly

set (refer to page 9).

❒ The post-installation steps have been followed (refer to page 10).

• Check the network cables. In particular, check that the network

cable connections are secure and that the cables are not damaged. If

you find any loose connections or damaged cables, fix them and then

see if your PC can communicate on the network.

• Check with the network administrator whether the network is active.

The light on the HP LAN card’s rear panel is off when there is no

autonegotiation response, for example, when the LAN cable is not

connected to the network HUB.

• Check that the PCI slot in which the HP LAN card is installed is

enabled in the HP PC Setup utility (Advanced

➜PCI Configuration).

The PC cannot be

started or woken up

from the network

• Check that the external start connector cable is connected to the HP

LAN card and to the PC’s system board.

• Check that the LAN-specific fields in the HP PC Setup utility are

correctly set (refer to page 9).
