Configuring the 100/10 PCI Ethernet Adapter

Some PC Server 704 models come with a preinstalled 100/10 PCI Ethernet adapter. This adapter contains three LEDs visible from the back of the server that show the status of the connection, monitor read and write activity, and indicate a 100 Mbps connection. See “Troubleshooting the 100/10 PCI Ethernet Adapter” on page 253 for more information.

During POST, your server automatically configures your Ethernet adapter.

The Ethernet Configuration and Drivers program comes with your server. The program automatically installs necessary Novell NetWare 3.x drivers, tests the adapter, and displays a help file with installation instructions for unsupported network operating-system drivers.

Note: You must use Category 5 cabling when operating the Ethernet adapter at 100 Mbps.

The Ethernet Configuration and Drivers program supports the following operating system:

Windows NT Server 3.51

Use the Ethernet Configuration and Drivers program each time you install an adapter. You can also use the program to isolate problems during troubleshooting.
