6. Troubleshooting
If you are facing any problems with the GN-FE605(M) 10/100 Fast Ethernet PCI
Adapter, use the following checklists to identify and correct the problem.
1. Make sure the adapter card is fully and firmly seated in the slot connector.
2. Check the length and rating of connecting cables.
3. Make sure the PCI slot is not deactivated at the BIOS level. The CMOS setup
utility in PCI computers ordinarily provides the option to activate or
deactivated PCI slots.
4. Replace the questioned adapter with another verified adapter then run the
diagnostic test again.
5. Install the questioned adapter in another PCI computer then run the test again.
6. Remove all other PCI adapters from the computer then run the test again. If
the verification / diagnostic run is normal, then there is probably an interrupt
number conflict which will must be resolved manually by a CMOS setup
utility run after you have reinstalled all of the expansion cards.
7. Appendix
(A)Wake-On-LAN (WOL)
A Wake-On-LAN is an ACPI function allowing a powered Off computer to be
powered On from a remote station. The ACPI can provide power management
support systems through hardware and operating system cooperation. While the
PC is powered Off the network card is always active and monitoring the network.
When a wake-up packet is detected, the card signals the motherboard to power up
the PC. With the PC powered On, maintenance and other support tasks can be
performed. By using Wake-on-LAN technology today, you can:
• Power up your PC or multiple PCs from a remote location
• Manage networks more efficiently
• Save bandwidth during the day by transmitting large files at night
• Help your company save on its energy bill
• Eliminate trips back to work to troubleshoot a problem
• Be on the leading edge when new applications for Wake-on-LAN technology
become available
