Troubleshooting
Controller Problem
Action
The Ethernet stopped
working when another
adapter was added to the
server.
Check the following:
Make sure that the cable is connected to the Ethernet.
Make sure that your PCI system BIOS is current.
Reseat the adapter (see “Working with Adapters” on page 49).
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. (See “Resolving
Configuration Conflicts” on page 152.)
If the problem still exists, have the system serviced.
The Ethernet stopped
working without apparent
cause.
Check the following:
Run diagnostics for the Ethernet controller.
Try a different connector on the hub.
Reinstall the device drivers (see your operating-system
documentation and your ServerGuide instructions, if you used
ServerGuide to install your operating system).
If the problem still exists, have the system serviced.
