Page 9: Introduction
Both sets of NICs can be plugged into either a PCI or PCI-X I/O bus; however, the (-SA & -TA) can only be operated in PCI-mode when installed in a PCI-X slot on an HP AlphaServer or AlphaStation platform. The -SA and –TA are configured by the Console during power-up to only operate in PCI mode. -

Page 17: Connecting The Network Cable
A crossover cable is required for point-to-point operation (connected directly to another host without an intervening switch). A straight-through cable will work provided that the DEGXA is configured to auto-negotiate; however, a crossover cable is highly recommended to avoid possible confusion. hp 3X-DEGXA-xx PCI-X/PCI Gigabit Ethernet Network Interface Controller Part Number: 3X-DEGXA-xx... -
