NOTE

disk drive activity light on the front panel lights when either an IDE hard
disk drive, or a SCSI device controlled by the onboard SCSI host controller,
is in use. This LED does not display CD-ROM activity.
Cannot Connect to a Server
q Make sure you are using the drivers that are shipped on the system Configuration Software CD
for the onboard network controller.
q Make sure the driver is loaded and the protocols are bound.
q Make sure the network cable is securely attached to the connector at the system back panel and
that the network controller Link LED is on (visible at back panel). If the cable is attached but
the problem persists, try a different cable.
q Make sure the hub port is configured for the same duplex mode as the network controller.
q Check with your LAN administrator about the correct networking software that needs to be
installed.
q If you are directly connecting two servers (no hub), you will need a crossover cable (see your
hub documentation for more information on crossover cables).
q Check the network controller LEDs that are visible through an opening at the system back
panel.
Problems with Network
The server hangs when the drivers are loaded.
q Change the PCI BIOS interrupt settings. Try the “PCI Installation Tips” below.
Diagnostics pass, but the connection fails.
q Make sure the network cable is securely attached.
q Make sure you specify the correct frame type in your NET.CFG file.
The Link LED doesn’t light.
q Make sure you have loaded the network drivers.
q Check all cable connections.
q Try another port on the hub.
q Make sure you have the correct type of cable between the adapter and the hub. Some hubs
require a crossover cable while others require a straight through cable (for more information on
crossover cabling, see your hub documentation).
The Activity LED doesn’t light.
q Make sure you’ve loaded the correct network drivers.
q Network may be idle. Try accessing a server.
