Troubleshooting a NIC
1 Run the appropriate online diagnostic test. See "Using Dell™ PowerEdge™
Diagnostics."
2 Restart the system and check for any system messages pertaining to the
NIC controller.
3 Check the appropriate indicator on the NIC connector. See "Power
Indicator Codes."
• If the link indicator does not light, check all cable connections.
• If the activity indicator does not light, the network driver files might
be damaged or missing.
• Use another connector on the switch or hub.
If you are using a NIC card instead of an integrated NIC, see the
documentation for the NIC card.
4 Ensure that the appropriate drivers are installed and the protocols are
bound. See the NIC's documentation.
