Ethernet Diagnostics
You must use the IBM PC Server PCI Ethernet diagnostic
diskette to perform diagnostic tests on the integrated
Ethernet controller. This diagnostic diskette includes the
LANAID utility program.
Backing Up the Ethernet Diagnostic
Diskette:
Use an operating system command, such as the DOS
DISKCOPY command, to make a
complete backup copy of
the IBM PC Server PCI Ethernet diagnostic diskette.
Using the backup copy can prevent damage to the original
diskette. The operating system documentation provides
information on backing up diskettes.
Starting the Ethernet Diagnostics:
To start the Ethernet Diagnostic Diskette:
1. Insert the backup copy of the Ethernet diagnostic
diskette into the diskette drive.
2. Power-on the server, or if it is already on, shut down
the operating system and restart the server.
3. Type /diags; then, press Enter.
4. Follow the instructions on the screen.
5. When the diagnostic tests are complete, remove the
diskette from the diskette drive; then, restart the
server.
Ethernet Ports
The PC Server 325 Type 8639 has Ethernet connectors for
10Base-T or Attachment Unit Interface (AUI) devices. The
controller automatically detects which port is connected to
the network, and then uses that port for communication.
Notes
Ÿ
If the server is shipped with an Ethernet interface
cable, it must be installed to comply with FCC
requirements.
Ÿ
The cables used in a 10BASE-T link segment do
not require grounding. However, all of the
devices connected to the cables must be
grounded.
To connect the 10Base-T port to a 10Base-T port on a
repeater, use an unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cable with
RJ-45 connectors at both ends. Use a straight-through
UTP cable when connecting to a crossover port (also
called MDI-X port), and use crossover cables to connect to
a repeater that is not a crossover port (also known as a
MDI port).
To connect the AUI port to a 10Base-5, 10Base-2, or
10Base-F segment, use an AUI cable.
