Frequently Asked Questions

Q. Does the NIC support shared interrupts?

A. The PCI NIC and the drivers supplied support shared interrupts. However, because there is no industry-standard way of implementing shared interrupts, other NICs may support them differently, or not at all. If you have another PCI NIC that does not support shared interrupts, either contact the manufacturer for a shared interrupt driver or try to manually assign it a different interrupt. Additionally, your Operating System may not properly support shared interrupts.

Q. Can the NIC be configured to boot from the network?

A. Yes, but you can only boot a PC from the network if it has boot ROM integrated in its BIOS (for example, the HP Vectra VL Series 600 PC) or if a boot ROM chip is installed on the NIC. This component can be ordered from 3Com. To configure the card for remote boot, use your PC’s Setup program.
