Installation Requirements  
NT Service Pack  
If an NT service pack is already installed on the PC, it must be re-  
installed after the card and software have been installed. When  
using the HP preloaded NT 4.0 software, the latest service pack can  
be found in the C:\I386\SPxdirectory.  
On some platforms you also have to reinstall certain drivers after  
you install the Service Pack. Refer to your PC documentation for  
more information.  
Operating System Master Diskettes  
During the software installation you will need to have your  
operating system master diskettes or CD-ROM available.  
When using HP preloaded operating system software, the master  
files can be found in the following directories:  
C:\I386(Windows NT 4.0)  
C:\WINDOWS\OPTIONS\CABS(Windows 95 and Windows 98)  
Remote Wake-Up and Remote Power-On Support  
Your network interface card provides features that allow other  
network users to:  
Wake up your PC from Standby mode – Remote Wake-Up.  
Start it up when it is shutdown – Remote Power-On.  
In terms of hardware, you normally need to connect a cable  
between the network card and the PC’s system board. This cable is  
known as a Wake-on-LAN cable and it connects to the Remote  
Wake-Up (often marked as WOL) connectors. Some recent PCs  
implement a new standard of the PCI socket for the network card.  
This new socket eliminates the need to use the Wake-on-LAN cable.  
Connecting the cable in a PC that doesn’t need it should not cause  
any problems but it is not recommended.  
For either approach you will need to configure your PC’s BIOS using  
the Setup program to enable the network features.

Installation Requirements  
In order to operate the Remote Wake-Up and Remote Power-On  
features correctly, the network card needs to interact with the  
power management solution used by your PC and operating system.  
Generally, recent PCs will support two different implementations of  
power management, APM and ACPI. Your network interface card  
will work with either power management solution but support for  
Remote Wake-Up and Remote Power-On is dependent on the  
operating system and, in some cases, the version of the operating  
system you are using.

Manageability and DMI  
The DMI Component Code for your network interface card enables  
DMI instrumentation for asset management, local and remote client  
administration. This means that your card’s configuration status can  
be viewed and modified using a standard DMI browser such as HP  
TopTools.  
For more information and to download the DMI Component Code  
for your network card, go to the following HP web site:

Frequently Asked Questions  
Frequently Asked Questions  
Q. Which PCI slot is best for my NIC.  
A. The 3Com PCI NIC is designed to work in any PCI slot.  
Q. Which PCI slot(s) are “bus mastering” in my PC?  
A: All PCI slots on the supported HP PCs support Bus Master.  
Q. Where do I find the driver installation Readme files?  
A. The various Readme files can be found in the \HELPdirectory of  
diskette 3. For installation and configuration tips specific to HP  
PCs, refer to the HPreadme.txtfile.  
Q. Can I use the NIC instead of the integrated LAN supplied on my PC?  
A. Yes, but you will need to deactivate the integrated LAN. Your  
PC’s User’s Guide will tell you how to do this. You might not be able  
to use the Remote Power-On feature of your NIC because some PCs  
with an integrated LAN do not have a remote wake-up connector.  
Q. I have a old version of the driver already installed on my system, how  
do I successfully install the new driver?  
A. If you have an older version of the driver already installed on  
your system, the NIC Doctor diagnostics will not install correctly. To  
correct this, you must remove the old driver files before you start  
the installation. You then need to delete two files, TCAATDI.INFand  
TCAITDI.INFfrom your C:\WINDOWS\INFfolder. These files might  
also be present in your C:\WINDOWS\OPTIONS\CABSfolder if you have  
one, these should be deleted also. You should now be able to install  
the driver and then use the diagnostics without any problems.  
Q. How do I remove the software that comes with the NIC from my  
system?  
A. You can remove the 3Com NIC Diagnostics Program from your  
system at any time by running the uninstaller in the Add/Remove  
Programs Control Panel. This will remove the diagnostics program  
and the 3Com tray Icon. If you remove all the Fast EtherLink  
XL/EtherLink XL NICs from the Network control panel the uninstall  
program will be run automatically.

HP 10/100 3Com 3C905C-TX Network Interface Card Installation Guide  
Frequently Asked Questions  
Q. Does the NIC support shared interrupts?  
A. The PCI NIC and the drivers supplied support shared interrupts.  
However, because there is no industry-standard way of  
implementing shared interrupts, other NICs may support them  
differently, or not at all. If you have another PCI NIC that does not  
support shared interrupts, either contact the manufacturer for a  
shared interrupt driver or try to manually assign it a different  
interrupt. Additionally, your Operating System may not properly  
support shared interrupts.  
Q. Can the NIC be configured to boot from the network?  
A. Yes, but you can only boot a PC from the network if it has boot  
ROM integrated in its BIOS (for example, the HP Vectra VL Series  
600 PC) or if a boot ROM chip is installed on the NIC. This  
component can be ordered from 3Com. To configure the card for  
remote boot, use your PC’s Setup program.

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 that either the 10 LNK or 100 LNK green LED on the  
3C905C-TX NICs rear panel is on ( “3C905C-TX NIC  
Specifications” on page 22.) The green LED on the card’s rear  
panel is off when there is no network link, for example, when the
