Troubleshooting
If you experience any problems with the Server Card, first verify that
the appropriate driver has been loaded, that the proper grade of cable
is employed for the network connection, and that the supporting
switch or workstation is functioning properly.
1.
Ascertain that the adapter 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.
