The integrated Ethernet controller might display messages from the following device
drivers:
• Novell NetWare or IntraNetWare system open data-link interface (ODI)
• Network driver interface specification (NDIS) adapter for level 4.0 (Windows NT)
Novell NetWare or IntraNetWare system ODI driver teaming
messages
This section provides explanations of the error messages for the Novell NetWare or
IntraNetWare system ODI driver, and suggested actions to resolve each problem.
Data is incorrect or sporadic. Check the following:
• Make sure that you are using Category 5 cabling when operating the system at 100
Mbps.
• Make sure that the cables do not run close to noise-inducing sources like
fluorescent lights.
The Ethernet controller
stopped working when
another adapter was added
to the system. Check the following:
• Make sure that the cable is connected to the Ethernet controller.
• Make sure that your PCI system BIOS is current.
• Reseat the adapter.
• Determine if the 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.
If the problem remains, call for service.
The Ethernet controller
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. Refer to your operating system documentation and to
the ServerGuide information.
If the problem remains, call for service.
