Are all relevant switches and jumpers on the drive set correctly?

Is the drive properly configured?

Is the onboard IDE controller enabled?


Cannot Connect to a Server

Make sure you are using the drivers that are shipped on the system Configuration
Software CD for the onboard network controller.

Make sure the driver is loaded and the protocols are bound.

Make sure the network cable is securely attached to the connector at the system
back panel. If the cable is attached but the problem persists, try a different cable.

Make sure the hub port is configured for the same duplex mode as the network
controller.

Check with your LAN administrator about the correct networking software that
needs to be installed.

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).

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:

Change the PCI BIOS interrupt settings. Try the “PCI Installation Tips” below.


Diagnostics pass, but the connection fails:

Make sure the network cable is securely attached.

Make sure you specify the correct frame type in your NET.CFG file.


The Activity LED doesn’t light:

Make sure the network hub has power.

The controller stopped working when an add-in adapter was installed:

Make sure the cable is connected to the port from the onboard network controller.

Make sure your PCI BIOS is current.

Make sure the other adapter supports shared interrupts. Also, make sure your

operating system supports shared interrupts; OS/2† does not.

Try reseating the add-in adapter.

The add-in adapter stopped working without apparent cause:

Try reseating the adapter first; then try a different slot if necessary.

The network driver files may be corrupt or deleted. Delete and then reinstall the
drivers.
