Overview  
The HP NC510C PCIe 10 Gb Server Adapter is a high-performance, multifunction Ethernet adapter that  
delivers up to 10 Gbps over 4 pair twin-axial cabling. The network connection is made through a single-  
port CX4 connector. The LED indicator shows the activity and link status. See LED indicators (on page 6)  
for details.  
The NC510C adapter, which ships with a standard-height chassis bracket and also includes a low-profile  
chassis bracket, is a supported option for selected HP ProLiant servers and offers support for both  
standard and low-profile slots.  
In addition to standard HP network server adapter features, the NC510C is capable of supporting  
teaming for load balancing and failover, Receive Side Scaling, TCP/IP Offload Engine (TOE),  
Accelerated iSCSI, and Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA) that can significantly improve server  
throughput while reducing host CPU utilization. The teaming, TOE, accelerated iSCSI, and RDMA  
multifunction features are planned for future, near-term software releases.  
LED indicators  
The NC510C adapter has a single CX4 connector and an LED indicator that shows Link/Act. (link

Installation overview  
This section describes installation precautions, how to install the adapter, and how to connect the network  
cable.  
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment, consult the safety  
information and user documentation provided with the server before attempting the installation.  
Many servers are capable of providing energy levels that are considered hazardous and are intended to  
be serviced only by qualified personnel who have been trained to deal with these hazards. Do not  
remove enclosures or attempt to bypass any interlocks that may be provided for the purpose of  
removing these hazardous conditions.  
WARNING: Installation of this adapter should be performed by individuals who are both qualified in  
the servicing of computer equipment, and trained in the hazards associated with products capable of  
producing hazardous energy levels.  
This adapter is intended to be installed in Certified (UL or CSA) ITE equipment having instructions for  
adding and removing user installed components such as PCI, PCI-X, and PCI Express devices. Refer to  
the equipment instructions to verify that it is suitable for user installed components and that it has the  
power capacity to support all of the installed components.  
NOTE: Before removing the cover of your server, refer to the HP documentation for the proper  
methods for installing a PCI Express card and avoiding electric shock hazards.  
Preventing electrostatic discharge  
To prevent damaging the system, be aware of the precautions you need to follow when setting up the  
system or handling parts. A discharge of static electricity from a finger or other conductor may damage  
system boards or other static-sensitive devices. This type of damage may reduce the life expectancy of the  
device.  
To prevent electrostatic damage:  
Avoid hand contact by transporting and storing products in static-safe containers.  
Keep electrostatic-sensitive parts in their containers until they arrive at static-free workstations.  
Place parts on a grounded surface before removing them from their containers.  
Avoid touching pins, leads, or circuitry.  
Always be properly grounded when touching a static-sensitive component or assembly.

Installing an adapter in a server  
See the HP ProLiant server documentation for additional information on how to safely install a PCI Express  
card in the server.  
CAUTION: 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 access panel. Failure to do so may damage the  
adapter or server.  
1.  
2.  
Power down the server.  
Remove the power cord and server access panel. Then remove the cover bracket from a PCI Express  
slot.  
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury from hot surfaces, allow the drives and the internal  
system components to cool before touching them.  
3.  
4.  
Firmly seat the adapter in a PCI Express slot and secure the adapter bracket.  
NOTE: For 1U type servers you may need to replace the standard profile bracket with a low profile  
bracket. See Installing a low profile bracket (on page 9).  
Replace the access panel and plug in the power cord.  
Installing a low profile bracket  
You may have to install a low profile bracket to complete the product installation. The low profile bracket  
replaces the existing standard profile bracket shipped on the product.  
To install a low profile bracket:  
1.  
Using a correctly sized Phillips head screwdriver, carefully remove the two board lock screws  
located at the top and bottom of the connector. Some versions may have small spring clips on the  
CX4 connector posts that also must be removed.  
2.  
3.  
Remove the standard profile bracket and place the low profile bracket over the connector. Be careful  
not to damage the connector or bend the low profile bracket.  
Reinstall the two Phillips screws. Reinstallation of the spring clips (found on some versions) is optional  
because the clips have negligible effect on the bracket support and EMI

Preventing electrostatic discharge  
To prevent damaging the system, be aware of the precautions you need to follow when setting up the  
system or handling parts. A discharge of static electricity from a finger or other conductor may damage  
system boards or other static-sensitive devices. This type of damage may reduce the life expectancy of the  
device.  
To prevent electrostatic damage:  
Avoid hand contact by transporting and storing products in static-safe containers.  
Keep electrostatic-sensitive parts in their containers until they arrive at static-free workstations.  
Place parts on a grounded surface before removing them from their containers.  
Avoid touching pins, leads, or circuitry.  
Always be properly grounded when touching a static-sensitive component or assembly.  
Grounding methods to prevent electrostatic discharge  
Several methods are used for grounding. Use one or more of the following methods when handling or  
installing electrostatic-sensitive parts:  
Use a wrist strap connected by a ground cord to a grounded workstation or computer chassis. Wrist  
straps are flexible straps with a minimum of 1 megohm 10 percent resistance in the ground cords.  
To provide proper ground, wear the strap snug against the skin.  
Use heel straps, toe straps, or boot straps at standing workstations. Wear the straps on both feet  
when standing on conductive floors or dissipating floor mats.  
Use conductive field service tools.  
Use a portable field service kit with a folding static-dissipating work mat.  
If you do not have any of the suggested equipment for proper grounding, have an authorized reseller  
install the part.
