Introduction
Overview
The HP NC365T 4-port Ethernet Server Adapter is a high-performance, low-profile, 4-port PCI express
Ethernet adapter that delivers up to 1000 Mbps Ethernet over twisted-pair (copper) category 5 or better
cabling.
It is powered by an Intel 82580 chipset. The NC365T adapter, which ships with a standard-height
chassis bracket and also includes a low-profile chassis bracket, has a fully integrated controller capable
of auto-negotiating a link at 10, 100, or 1000 Mbps.
Network connection is made through the four RJ-45 connectors. LED indicators show the link speed and
activity. See LED indicators (on page
6 ) for details. The adapter is a supported option for selected HP
ProLiant servers. The adapter must be installed in a PCI Express slot.
For the latest functionality, features, and operating system support for this adapter, see the HP website

UTP CAT5 cable
The NC365T adapter can use existing UTP CAT5 (or better) cable to deliver Gigabit Ethernet over
copper, according to the IEEE 802.3ab specifications. For new installations, CAT5e (enhanced CAT5)
cable is recommended.
For troubleshooting and other information about cabling, see UTP Cable Specifications (on page
