Chapter 5 Configuring the Adapter and Installing Drivers Adding an Adapter while Installing Windows NT The HP driver that ships with Windows NT 4.0 is an older driver that does not support this adapter. Therefore if you want to install the HP NetServer 10/100 adapter while installing Windows NT, - HP D5970A | HP Netserver 10/100TX PCI LAN Adapter Guide - Page 24
, try the suggestions here first, then turn to the Troubleshooting and FAQs section later in this guide, if necessary. 1. Make sure that you use the drivers for this adapter. Drivers are located on the HP NetServer 10/100TX PCI LAN Adapter Drivers CD. 2. In your computer's BIOS settings, make sure - HP D5970A | HP Netserver 10/100TX PCI LAN Adapter Guide - Page 25

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 - HP D5970A | HP Netserver 10/100TX PCI LAN Adapter Guide - Page 27
Chapter 5 Configuring the Adapter and Installing Drivers and port. Priority Packet provides two different methods 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 - HP D5970A | HP Netserver 10/100TX PCI LAN Adapter Guide - Page 28
: • 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 - HP D5970A | HP Netserver 10/100TX PCI LAN Adapter Guide - Page 29
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 installed adapter. You can correlate the PCI slot number to the adapter by using the Ethernet address - HP D5970A | HP Netserver 10/100TX PCI LAN Adapter Guide - Page 30

, 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 - HP D5970A | HP Netserver 10/100TX PCI LAN Adapter Guide - Page 32
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.
