Configuring the 100/10 PCI Ethernet Adapter
Some PC Server 704 models come with a preinstalled 100/10 PCI
Ethernet adapter. This adapter contains three LEDs visible from the
back of the server that show the status of the connection, monitor
read and write activity, and indicate a 100 Mbps connection. See
“Troubleshooting the 100/10 PCI Ethernet Adapter” on page 253 for
more information.
During POST, your server automatically configures your Ethernet
adapter.
The Ethernet Configuration and Drivers program comes with your
server. The program automatically installs necessary Novell
NetWare 3.x drivers, tests the adapter, and displays a help file with
installation instructions for unsupported network operating-system
drivers.
Note: You must use Category 5 cabling when operating the
Ethernet adapter at 100 Mbps.
The Ethernet Configuration and Drivers program supports the
following operating system:
Windows NT Server 3.51
Use the Ethernet Configuration and Drivers program each time you
install an adapter. You can also use the program to isolate
problems during troubleshooting.
