Chapter 3
Operating the Adapter
This chapter describes various issues that may occur when using the SGI 10-Gbit
Ethernet network adapter in a 10-Gbit Ethernet network. It includes the following
sections:
• "Verifying Functionality" on page 9
• "Resetting the Adapter" on page 13
• "Configuration" on page 14
• "MTU Size Settings" on page 14
Verifying Functionality
This section explains the following:
• "Using LEDs to Determine Functionality" on page 9
• "Verifying Adapter Recognition" on page 10
• "Enabling the Adapter" on page 12
• "Verifying that the Adapter is Properly Configured and Enabled" on page 12
Using LEDs to Determine Functionality
The SGI 10-Gbit Ethernet network adapter has light-emitting diodes (LEDs) that
indicate whether the adapter is configured correctly and connected to an active
Ethernet. Table 3-1 describes the functions of the LEDs.
