Close Adapter Test Failure

■Make sure a lobe cable is properly connected to the adapter and that the other end of the cable is connected to a DAU, MAU, or CAU.

■Run the test three times with a delay of at least 30 seconds between each test. If the error persists, power down the PC and try once more.

Adapter Wrap Test Failure (Group 2)

■Make sure a lobe cable is properly connected to the adapter. For an adapter with UTP cabling, the other end of the cable needs to be connected to a MAU.

■Try another shared RAM address and size.

■Run the test three times with a delay of at least 30 seconds between each test. If the error persists, power down the PC and try once more.

Troubleshooting Tips

If the diagnostic tests fail, the adapter may not be defective. The problem may be incorrect option settings or option settings that conflict with the settings of other boards, or the adapter may be improperly installed. Follow these steps to test the adapter further.

CAUTION: Make sure that you turn off the power before inserting or removing the adapter from the PC.

1Make sure that the 3C619C adapter is installed in a UL-listed PC containing an ISA or EISA bus.

2Make sure that the board is seated firmly and all the way down in the slot. Check the adapter installation by reviewing the installation instructions in Chapter 2.

3Inspect all cables and connections.
