Testing the Quad-Port 10/100 Ethernet adapter

The event log tells you when you should run diagnostics. You can view the event log from the Event Viewer located in the Administrative Tools folder on the Start Menu, located under Programs. When the event log reports that “SLICx has determined that the adapter is not functioning properly,” you can run diagnostics on the Quad-Port 10/100 Ethernet adapter using the following procedure:

1.Run the SLICuser application from the Start Menu, located under the Program Files folder in the Alacritech Folder.

2.Select the Diagnostics tab.

Note: Running diagnostics disrupts all ports of the adapter.

3.Click Run. The adapter will then run through a self-test of the IPP and the selected port of the adapter. A properly functioning board will display a window in which all of its tests have Passed.

4.Close the SLICuser utility by clicking OK.

Troubleshooting the ServeRAID-4Lx and 4H

Error codes and messages display on the screen in a line of text immediately after the adapter BIOS version.

If POST detects changes in the controller configuration or detects a controller hardware problem, messages appear on the screen. Refer to “POST (ISPR) error procedures” on page 71 and correct the problem.

If there is no POST Error or Configuration Error message, the BIOS screen messages resemble the sample shown below. Note that your version may be different from the one shown.
