Using

to
Run
Adapter
and
Cable
Diagnostics
You
can
verify
the
Solarflare
adapter,
driver
and
cable
by
running
SAM’s
built
‐
in
diagnostic
tools
(Solarflare

‐
T
adapter
only).
The
tools
provide
a
simple
way
to
verify
that
the
adapter
and
driver
are
working
correctly,
and
that
the
cable
has
the
correct
characteristics
for
high
‐
speed
data
transfer.
The
diagnostics
tools
also
include
an
option
to
flash
the
LEDs
(useful
for
identifying
the
adapter
in
a
server
room),
and
an
option
to
generate
a
full
system
report,
both
available
from
the
Actions
menu.
NOTE:
The
full
system
report
cannot
be
generated
when
remotely
administering
a
server.
