other boards, or improper installation. In the event that any of the
verification/diagnostic tests fails, review the following troubleshooting list.
1. Ascertain that the adapter card is fully and firmly seated in the slot
connector.
2. Check the length and rating of connecting cables.
3. Ascertain that the adapter’s PCI slot is not deactivated at the BIOS level.
The CMOS Setup utility in PCI computers ordinarily provides the option
to activate or deactivate PCI slots.
4. Replace the adapter in question with a verified adapter and run the
diagnostic test again.
5. Install the questioned adapter in another PCI computer and run the tests
again.
6. Remove all other PCI adapters from the computer and run the tests again.
If the verification/diagnostic run is then normal, then there is probably an
interrupt number conflict which will have to be resolved manually by a
CMOS Setup utility run after you have reinstalled all of the expansion
cards.
