Chapter 3

Operating the Adapter

This chapter describes various issues that may occur when using the SGI 10-Gbit
Ethernet network adapter in a 10-Gbit Ethernet network. It includes the following
sections:

• "Verifying Functionality" on page 9

• "Resetting the Adapter" on page 13

• "Configuration" on page 14

• "MTU Size Settings" on page 14

Verifying Functionality

This section explains the following:

• "Using LEDs to Determine Functionality" on page 9

• "Verifying Adapter Recognition" on page 10

• "Enabling the Adapter" on page 12

• "Verifying that the Adapter is Properly Configured and Enabled" on page 12

Using LEDs to Determine Functionality

The SGI 10-Gbit Ethernet network adapter has light-emitting diodes (LEDs) that
indicate whether the adapter is configured correctly and connected to an active
Ethernet. Table 3-1 describes the functions of the LEDs.
