Troubleshooting
If you experience any problems with the adapter, first verify that the
appropriate driver is loaded, that the proper grade of cable is
employed for the network connection, and that the supporting hub is
functioning properly.
1.
Ascertain that the adapter card is fully and firmly seated in the
slot connector.
2.
Check the length and rating of connecting cables.
3.
Ascertain that the adapter
•
PCI slot is not deactivated at the
BIOS level. The CMOS Setup utility in PCI computers
ordinarily provides the option to activate or deactivate PCI
slots.
4.
Replace the adapter in question with a verified adapter and run
the diagnostic test again.
5.
Install the questioned adapter in another PCI computer and run
the tests again.
6.
Remove all other PCI adapters from the computer and run the
tests again. If the verification/diagnostic run is then normal,
then there is probably an interrupt number conflict which will
have to be resolved manually by a CMOS Setup utility run after
you have reinstalled all of the expansion cards.
