Connecting to Your Network Cable

Checking the Connection with EMDIAG

After connecting the network cable to the adapter, use the EMDIAG diagnostics utility to test your connection. For more information about EMDIAG, see Chapter 5, Using EMDIAG to Troubleshoot Problems.

1Type A:\EMDIAG and press Enter to start the Adaptec setup program

2At the Main Menu, select Diagnostics.

3At the Test Options Menu, select Local Diagnostics.

4Use the Tab key to select <Start> and press Enter. EMDIAG runs a series of tests on the installed adapter, including sending a series of test packets.

If any of these tests fail, then a problem exists, possibly with the network cable or the connection.

In the event of a failure:

1Exit from EMDIAG.

2Remove the cable from the adapter.

3Reattach the cable.

4Reboot.

5Run EMDIAG.

If a failure still occurs, see Chapter 5, Using EMDIAG to Troubleshoot Problems, for additional troubleshooting tips.

Note: EMDIAG runs on only one adapter at a time. To learn how to specify individual Adaptec PCI adapters with EMDIAG when more than one exists in a system, see Chapter 5, Using EMDIAG to Troubleshoot Problems.
