how to install HP Allied Telesis AT-2911T/2-901 Dual Port 1GbE NIC

Step 1: Power down the computer or server, unplug the power cord, and discharge any static electricity by touching a grounded metal surface before handling components.

Step 2: Remove the chassis cover to access the expansion slots. Identify an available slot that is appropriate for a PCIe-based network card and ensure there is clearance for the card and cables.

Step 3: Align the NIC with the slot and firmly insert it until the connector seats securely. If your system uses a locking mechanism or screw, secure the card in place to prevent movement during operation.

Step 4: Replace the chassis cover and reconnect power. Power on the system and allow the operating system to boot to its normal desktop or server environment.

Step 5: Install or update the NIC drivers from the official HP Allied Telesis/HP support portals or your operating system’s driver repository. Once the drivers are installed, configure the two Ethernet interfaces according to your networking plan—whether you’re setting up VLANs, bonding/link aggregation, or dedicated networks for management and storage.
