Troubleshooting
If you experience any problems with the adapter, first
verify that the appropriate driver is loaded, that the proper
grade of cable is employed for the network connection, and
that the supporting hub is functioning properly.
1. Ascertain that the adapter card is fully and firmly
seated in the slot connector.
2. Check the length and rating of connecting cables.
3. Ascertain that the adapter• PCI slot is not deactivated
at the BIOS level. The CMOS Setup utility in PCI
computers ordinarily provides the option to activate or
deactivate PCI slots.
4. Replace the adapter in question with a verified adapter
and run the diagnostic test again.
5. Install the questioned adapter in another PCI computer
and run the tests again.
6. Remove all other PCI adapters from the computer and
run the tests again. If the verification/diagnostic run is
then normal, then there is probably an interrupt
number conflict which will have to be resolved
manually by a CMOS Setup utility run after you have
reinstalled all of the expansion cards.
