DFE-530TX 10/100Mbps Ethernet Adapter for PCI Bus
A
Troubleshooting
If you experience any problems with the adapter, first verify that the appropriate driver is loaded, that the proper grade of cable is employed for the network connection, and that the supporting hub is functioning properly.
1.Ascertain that the adapter card is fully and firmly seated in the slot connector.
2.Check the length and rating of connecting cables.
3.Ascertain that the adapter• PCI slot is not deactivated at the BIOS level. The CMOS Setup utility in PCI computers ordinarily provides the option to activate or deactivate PCI slots.
4.Replace the adapter in question with a verified adapter and run the diagnostic test again.
5.Install the questioned adapter in another PCI computer and run the tests again.
6.Remove all other PCI adapters from the computer and run the tests again. If the verification/diagnostic run is then normal, then there is probably an interrupt number conflict which will have to be resolved manually by a CMOS Setup utility run after you have reinstalled all of the expansion cards.
