Introduction
Broadcom NetXtreme II User Diagnostics is an MS-DOS based application that runs a series of diagnostic tests (see
Table 3
)
on the Broadcom NetXtreme II network adapters in your system. Broadcom NetXtreme II User Diagnostics also allows you to
update device firmware and to view and change settings for available adapter properties. There are two versions of the
Broadcom NetXtreme II User Diagnostics: uxdiag.exe (for BCM5708/BCM5709 network adapters) and uediag.exe (for
BCM57710 network adapters).
To run Broadcom NetXtreme II User Diagnostics, create an MS-DOS 6.22 bootable disk containing the uxdiag.exe or
uediag.exe file. Next, start the system with the boot disk in drive A. See
Performing Diagnostics
for further instructions on
running diagnostic tests on Broadcom network adapters.
System Requirements
Operating System:
MS-DOS 6.22
Software:
uxdiag.exe (BCM5708/BCM5709), or uediag.exe (BCM57710)
Performing Diagnostics
At the MS-DOS prompt, type

(for BCM5708/BCM5709 network adapters)
or uediag
