Running the NIC Self-Tests

The first tests to run when you have a problem with the OfficeConnect NIC are the NIC self-tests.

The NIC self-tests can verify that the OfficeConnect NIC is working correctly by checking the physical components, connectors, and circuitry on the NIC.

To run the NIC self-tests:

1Double-click the 3Com icon in the Windows system tray.

If the 3Com icon isn’t visible in the system tray, follow the instructions in the previous section, “Starting the 3Com NIC Diagnostics Program.”

2Click OK.

The 3Com NIC Diagnostics General screen appears (Figure 10).

3Click the Diagnostics tab.

The Diagnostics screen (Figure 11) appears.
