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.
