Troubleshooting 6-19

The OS presents unstable operation <NetWare>:

!When the system presents an error, refer to other manuals to check the configuration for any errors.

Novell Inc. regularly releases update modules that include patch programs for solving problems. Before placing the system in service, consult with your NetWare dealer and use a module with the latest time stamp if no suggestions are provided. (It is recommended to update the module on a regular basis.)

If the configuration is correct but an error keeps occurring with the latest module, contact your sale agent.

The server is not found on the network:

!Is the LAN cable connected?

Make sure to connect the LAN cable to the network port on the rear of the server. Also make sure that the LAN cable to use conforms with the network interface standard.

!Is BIOS configuration correct?

The internal LAN controller may be disabled with the BIOS setup utility of the server. Check the setting with the BIOS setup utility.

<Menus to check:

[Advanced] - [PCI Configuration] - [Onboard NIC 1], [Onboard NIC 2]>

!Have the protocol and service already configured?

Install the distinctive network driver for the server. Make sure that the protocol, such as TCP/IP, and services are properly specified.

!Is the transfer speed correct?

The internal LAN controller installed in the server in the standard configuration supports the transfer speed of 100 Mbps and 10 Mbps. This transfer speed may be selected or changed on the OS. However, do not specify "Auto Sense". Specify a specific speed, "100" or "10", instead.

!Have you update the system ? <Windows NT>

If the network driver is installed after the OS installation has completed, you must update the system to enable the function.
