Chapter 5 Troubleshooting the System Hardware

Troubleshooting the Ethernet Controller

The Ethernet link status LED is on when the Ethernet controller receives a link pulse from the switch. If the LED is off, there might be a defective connector or cable or a problem with the switch.

The Ethernet activity LED is on when the Ethernet controller sends or receives data over the Ethernet network. If the Ethernet activity LED is off, make sure that the switch and network are operating and that the correct device drivers are installed.

Make sure that you are using the correct device drivers that are supplied with your device and that the device drivers on the client and the device are using the same protocol.

Check for operating system-specific causes for the problem.
