Znyx Networks ZX410 manual Troubleshooting, System-specific Configuration Requirements

Troubleshooting

All NetBlaster CompactPCI adapters support plug-and-play. If you have a plug-and-play system, your card will configure itself automatically.

If the operating system does not discover the board, try running the diagnostics program (see previous section).

System-specific Configuration Requirements

As noted earlier, CompactPCI is a plug-and-play bus. This means the host computer program should automatically assign all system resources, such as I/O addresses and interrupt lines (IRQ).

Occasionally, you may need to assign these resources manually. This is often the case with host systems and motherboards that are not fully compliant with plug-and-play standards. This is usually done by modifying your system’s CMOS SETUP program, typically under the section specifying PCI bus/slot configuration options.

Note: All PCI adapters require level triggered interrupts. NetBlaster CompactPCI adapters will not function properly using edge triggered interrupts.

Basic Troubleshooting

For all operating systems, we recommend that you try the following if you are having difficulty. In addition, we have OS-specific troubleshooting suggestions below.

1.Make sure the board is securely seated in the slot.

2.Check the green link LED’s. The LED will be on when attached to an active interface (hub, switch, router, or any other system). See figure below:

3.Refer to operating system specific documentation to evaluate any error messages or logs when the driver is loaded.
