￿Are all relevant switches and jumpers on the drive set correctly?

￿Is the drive properly configured?

￿Is the onboard IDE controller enabled?

Cannot Connect to a Server

￿Make sure you are using the drivers that are shipped on the system Configuration Software CD for the onboard network controller.

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

￿Make sure the network cable is securely attached to the connector at the system back panel. If the cable is attached but the problem persists, try a different cable.

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

￿Check with your LAN administrator about the correct networking software that needs to be installed.

￿If you are directly connecting two servers (no hub), you will need a crossover cable (see your hub documentation for more information on crossover cables).

￿Check the network controller LEDs that are visible through an opening at the system back panel.

Problems with Network

The server hangs when the drivers are loaded:

￿Change the PCI BIOS interrupt settings. Try the “PCI Installation Tips” below.

Diagnostics pass, but the connection fails:

￿Make sure the network cable is securely attached.

￿Make sure you specify the correct frame type in your NET.CFG file.

The Activity LED doesn’t light:

Make sure the network hub has power.

The controller stopped working when an add-in adapter was installed:

￿Make sure the cable is connected to the port from the onboard network controller.

￿Make sure your PCI BIOS is current.

￿Make sure the other adapter supports shared interrupts. Also, make sure your operating system supports shared interrupts; OS/2does not.

￿Try reseating the add-in adapter.

The add-in adapter stopped working without apparent cause:

￿Try reseating the adapter first; then try a different slot if necessary.

￿The network driver files may be corrupt or deleted. Delete and then reinstall the drivers.
