Configuring Ethernet PCI Adapters

Figure 2-6. Verifying Link Speed, Duplex Mode, and Link Activity

If necessary, also verify the actual link speed and duplex mode LEDs on the Ethernet PCI adapters and the remote ports to which they are connected. If the link speed and duplex mode are incorrect, try removing and replacing the network cables. If the link speed and duplex mode are still incorrect, verify that your network equipment supports the link speed and duplex mode that you set.

2.In the Intel(R) PROSet for Wired Connections dialog box, right-click one of the Ethernet PCI adapters listed, point to Add to Team, and then click Create New Team.

The Teaming Wizard starts.

3.In the first dialog box of the Teaming Wizard (Figure 2-7), select the type of team you want to create (for example, Adapter Fault Tolerance), and then click Next.

Depending on the teaming mode you select, PROSet might display another dialog box with information about the restrictions for that mode. Click Next to continue.
