Locating Ethernet PCI Adapters
When you create a team of Ethernet PCI adapters, you need to include adapters from
different I/O elements for increased fault tolerance.
To verify that you are selecting the appropriate adapters, you can use the Identify
Adapter feature of PROSet, which flashes a status LED in a specific Ethernet port on
demand so you can visually identify it. This feature is compatible with all
Express5800/320Ma Ethernet PCI adapters, including embedded Ethernet PCI
adapters.
N O T E
To determine which LED on the Ethernet port will flash,
see
“Checking Status LEDs” on page 2-36 .
To locate an Ethernet PCI adapter port
1. Start the PROSet utility if you have not already done so (see “Starting PROSet” on
page 2-7 ).
2. In the Intel(R) PROSet for Wired Connections dialog box, right-click a teamed or
unteamed Ethernet PCI adapter (port), and click the General tab ( Figure 2-3 ).
3. In the General tab, click Identify Adapter.
4. In the Identify Adapter dialog box ( Figure 2-4 ), specify the amount of time (in
seconds) you want the LED on the Ethernet PCI adapter port to flash. (Consider
the time it will take you to reach the rear of the system to see the LED flash.)
