HP E1200-320 manual XX.XX Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

NOTE: To use the DHCP feature, a DHCP server must be operational on the Ethernet network used by the interface card. If the DHCP feature is used when there is no DHCP server, the standard for DHCP requires that the interface card wait three minutes for a response from a DHCP server before timing out. During this period, the interface card menus and functions will not be accessible.

Special note regarding Ethernet IP, subnet mask, and gateway addresses

Once DHCP is enabled, any “null” readings are acceptable for these 3 options before reboot. The Ethernet Configuration Menu will also not allow these 3 options to be changed while DHCP is enabled (since they are automatically configured by DHCP). Here’s an example of the “DHCP-enabled” menu:
