Troubleshooting
the
Ethernet
controller
This
section
provides
troubleshooting
information
for
problems
that
might
occur
with
the
10/100/1000
Mbps
Ethernet
controller.
Network
connection
problems
If
the
Ethernet
controller
cannot
connect
to
the
network,
check
the
following
conditions:
v
Make
sure
that
the
cable
is
installed
correctly.
The
network
cable
must
be
securely
attached
at
all
connections.
If
the
cable
is
attached
but
the
problem
remains,
try
a
different
cable.
If
you
set
the
Ethernet
controller
to
operate
at
either
100
Mbps
or
1000
Mbps,
you
must
use
Category
5
or
higher
cabling.
v
Determine
whether
the
hub
supports
auto-negotiation.
If
it
does
not,
try
configuring
the
integrated
Ethernet
controller
manually
to
match
the
speed
and
duplex
mode
of
the
hub.
v
Check
the
Ethernet
controller
LEDs
on
the
operator
information
panel
and
on
the
rear
of
the
server.
These
LEDs
indicate
whether
a
problem
exists
with
the
connector,
cable,
or
hub.
–
The
Ethernet
transmit/receive
activity
LED,
on
the
operator
information
panel,
is
lit
when
the
Ethernet
controller
sends
or
receives
data
over
the
Ethernet
Network.
If
the
Ethernet
transmit/receive
activity
LED
is
off,
make
sure
that
the
hub
and
network
are
operating
and
that
the
correct
device
drivers
are
installed.
–
The
Ethernet
link
status
LED,
on
the
rear
of
the
server,
is
lit
when
the
Ethernet
controller
receives
a
LINK
pulse
from
the
hub.
If
the
LED
is
off,
there
might
be
a
defective
connector
or
cable
or
a
problem
with
the
hub.
v
Make
sure
that
you
are
using
the
correct
device
drivers
which
are
supplied
with
your
server.
v
Check
for
operating-system-specific
causes
for
the
problem.
v
Make
sure
that
the
device
drivers
on
the
client
and
server
are
using
the
same
protocol.
v
Test
the
Ethernet
controller.
The
way
the
Ethernet
controller
is
tested
depends
on
which
operating
system
you
are
using
(see
the
Ethernet
controller
device
driver
README
files).
