Troubleshooting the Integrated NIC
If you encounter problems with the system's integrated network interface controller
(NIC), the following actions may help you to diagnose the problem:
•
Enter the System Setup program and confirm that the NIC is enabled.
See Chapter 3, “Using the System Setup Program” in the User's Guide for
instructions.
•
Check the two light-emitting diodes (LEDs) on the corners of the NIC connector
on the system's back panel.
The green link LED (the LED closest to the serial ports) indicates that the adapter
is connected to a valid link partner. The amber activity indicator lights if network
data is being sent or received.
— If the LINK light is not on, check all cable connections at the adapter and link
partner.
— Try changing the auto-negotiation setting on the link partner, if possible.
— Try another port on the switch.
