Ethernet controller messages
The integrated Ethernet controller might display messages from the following device
drivers:
• Novell™ NetWare™ or IntraNetWare Server ODI
• NDIS Adapter for level 2.01 (OS/2)
• NDIS Adapter for level 4.0 (Windows NT)
• SCO™ UNIX LLI
The Ethernet
Transmit/Receive
Activity light does not
illuminate. Check the following:
Note: The Ethernet Transmit/Receive Activity LED illuminates only when
data is sent to or by this Ethernet controller.
• Make sure that you have loaded the network device drivers.
• The network might be idle. Try sending data from this workstation.
• Run diagnostics on the LEDs.
• The function of this LED can be changed by device driver load
parameters. If necessary, remove any LED parameter settings when you
load the device drivers.
Data is incorrect or
sporadic. Check the following:
• Make sure that you are using Category 5 cabling when operating the
server 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 server. 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 interrupt (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.
