Locating Ethernet PCI Adapters

When you create a team of Ethernet PCI adapters, you need to include adapters from different I/O elements for increased fault tolerance.

To verify that you are selecting the appropriate adapters, you can use the Identify Adapter feature of PROSet, which flashes a status LED in a specific Ethernet port on demand so you can visually identify it. This feature is compatible with all Express5800/320Ma Ethernet PCI adapters, including embedded Ethernet PCI adapters.

N O T E

To determine which LED on the Ethernet port will flash, see “Checking Status LEDs” on page 2-36.

To locate an Ethernet PCI adapter port

1.Start the PROSet utility if you have not already done so (see “Starting PROSet” on page 2-7).

2.In the Intel(R) PROSet for Wired Connections dialog box, right-click a teamed or unteamed Ethernet PCI adapter (port), and click the General tab (Figure 2-3).

3.In the General tab, click Identify Adapter.

4.In the Identify Adapter dialog box (Figure 2-4), specify the amount of time (in seconds) you want the LED on the Ethernet PCI adapter port to flash. (Consider the time it will take you to reach the rear of the system to see the LED flash.)
