Controller problem Action
The Ethernet controller stopped
working when another adapter was
added to the server. Check the following:
Ÿ
Make sure that the cable is
connected to the Ethernet
controller.
Ÿ
Make sure that the PCI system
BIOS is current.
Ÿ
Reseat the adapter (see
“Working with adapters” on
page 107).
Ÿ
Determine if the interrupt (IRQ)
setting assigned to the
Ethernet adapter is also
assigned to another device in
the Configuration/Setup Utility
program.
Although interrupt sharing is
allowed for PCI devices, some
devices do not function well
when they share an interrupt
with a dissimilar PCI device.
Try changing the IRQ assigned
to the Ethernet adapter or the
other device.
If the problem still exists, run the
server diagnostic programs (see
“Diagnostic programs” on page 10)
and check with the system
administrator.
The Ethernet controller stopped
working without apparent cause. Check the following:
Ÿ
Run diagnostics for the
Ethernet controller.
Ÿ
Try a different connector on
the hub.
Ÿ
Reinstall the device drivers.
Refer to the operating-system
documentation and to the
“ServerGuide and Netfinity
Manager Information” section
of this
Server Library.
If the problem still exists run the
server diagnostic programs (see
“Diagnostic programs” on page 10).
Updating device records and
reconfiguring the server
When you start the server for the first time after you add or
remove an internal option or an external SCSI device, you
might see a message telling you that the configuration has
changed.
Some options have device drivers that you need to install.
Refer to the documentation that comes with the option for
information about installing any required device drivers.
If you have more than one microprocessor installed, you
might want to upgrade the operating system. Refer to
“ServerGuide and Netfinity Manager Information” section of
this
Server Library. If you have installed or removed hard
disk drives and the server has a RAID adapter installed,
refer to the documentation provided with the RAID adapter
for information about reconfiguring the disk arrays.
