For your safety, never remove the PC’s cover without first  
removing the power cord, data cables and any connection to a  
telecommunications network. Always replace the cover before  
switching on again.  
For complete information on how to install an accessory card, refer to  
your PC’s documentation. This is available from your PC’s support web  
site (refer to page 18.) The following steps are given as a guide:  
1 With the PC turned off, disconnect the power cord and any connection  
to a telecommunications network, and then remove the cover.  
2 Choose an empty PCI slot. If you do not know how to identify a PCI  
slot, refer to your PC’s documentation.  
3 Remove the metal slot cover.  
4 Depending on the PC model, you may need to remove the accessory  
slot’s retaining bracket. Refer to your PC’s documentation, if  
necessary.  
5 Insert the card into the accessory slot without bending it.

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  
EtherDisk® diskette #3.  
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. 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.  
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.

HP 10/100 3Com 3C905B-TX Network Interface Card Installation Guide  
Troubleshooting  
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 8 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.  
Troubleshooting  
The 3C905B-TX Card Does Not Work  
If your network interface does not work, try the following:  
1 Check that:  
The card is correctly installed (refer to “Installing the Network  
Interface Card” on page 7.)  
The LAN-specific fields in the HP PC Setup utility are correctly  
set (refer to “Updating LAN-specific Fields in the HP PC Setup  
Utility” on page 9.)  
The software installation steps have been followed (refer to  
“Software Installation Procedure” on page 10.)  
2 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.  
3 Check that either the 10 LNK or 100 LNK green LED on the  
3C905B-TX NICs rear panel is on (refer to “3C905B-TX NIC  
Specifications” on page 19.) The green LED on the card’s rear panel  
is off when there is no network link, for example, when the LAN  
cable is not connected to the network hub.  
4 For NT 4.0 systems, check that your Service Pack has been  
reinstalled. In case of doubt, reinstall the Service Pack. On some  
platforms you also need to reinstall certain drivers after installing the  
Service Pack. Refer to your PC documentation for more information.

The PC Cannot Be Started or Woken-Upfrom the Network  
1 If the PC has been powered off (for example, due to an electrical  
power failure, or because the power cord has been removed), the  
Remote Power On (RPO) will not work. To enable the RPO, you must  
first power on the PC, allow the Operating System to boot, then shut  
down the PC.  
2 Check that the WOL connector cable is connected to the network  
interface card and to the PC’s system board.  
3 Check that the LAN-specific fields in the HP PC Setup utility are  
correctly set (refer to refer to “Updating LAN-specific Fields in the  
HP PC Setup Utility” on page 9.)  
NOTE  
RPO is only supported under Windows 95, Windows 98 and Windows

15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in  
a residential installation. This equipment generates and uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not  
installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio  
communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If  
this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by  
turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to correct the interference by one or more of the  
following measures:

• connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected  
• consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
