My server is running on Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES release 3 (Taroon Update 9)

Now server has two ethernet card with 100Mp/s cards. Can I add one more card with 1000Mb/s card.Do the server support this ?

Juan,

Check with lspci.
Have a look on lspci for more information.

Hi

You can add another ethernet card; all HP DL servers have mnore than 2 PIC slots so you should be fine.
