Introduction
Broadcom NetXtreme II User Diagnostics is an MS-DOS based application that runs a series of diagnostic tests (see Table 3 )
on the Broadcom NetXtreme II network adapters in your system. Broadcom NetXtreme II User Diagnostics also allows you to
update device firmware and to view and change settings for available adapter properties. There are two versions of the
Broadcom NetXtreme II User Diagnostics: uxdiag.exe (for BCM5708/BCM5709 network adapters) and uediag.exe (for
BCM57710 network adapters).
To run Broadcom NetXtreme II User Diagnostics, create an MS-DOS 6.22 bootable disk containing the uxdiag.exe or
uediag.exe file. Next, start the system with the boot disk in drive A. See
Performing Diagnostics for further instructions on
running diagnostic tests on Broadcom network adapters.
System Requirements
Operating System: MS-DOS 6.22
Software: uxdiag.exe (BCM5708/BCM5709), or uediag.exe (BCM57710)
Performing Diagnostics
At the MS-DOS prompt, type uxdiag (for BCM5708/BCM5709 network adapters) or uediag (for BCM577XX and BCM578XX
network adapters) followed by the command options. The uxdiag command options are shown in
Table 1 and the uediag
command options are shown in Table 2 . For example, to run all diagnostic tests on adapter #1 except Group B tests:
C:\>uxdiag -c 1 -t b
NOTE: You must include uxdiag or uediag at the beginning of the command string each time you type a command.
