Cannot Connect to a Server

•Make sure the network cable is securely attached to the correct connector at the system back panel.

•Try a different network cable.

•Make sure you are using the correct and the current drivers. See “Additional Information and Software” for a link to the current drivers.

•Make sure the driver is loaded and the protocols are bound.

•Make sure the hub port is configured for the same duplex mode as the network controller.

•Make sure the correct networking software is installed.

•If you are directly connecting two servers (without a hub), you will need a crossover cable.

•Check the network controller LEDs next to the NIC connectors.
