Troubleshooting Your System

• Change the autonegotiation setting, if possible.
• 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.

5 Enter the System Setup program and confirm that the NIC ports are

enabled. See "Integrated Devices Screen" on page 62.

6 Ensure that the NICs, hubs, and switches on the network are all set to the

same data transmission speed and duplex mode. See the documentation

for each network device.

7 Ensure that all network cables are of the proper type and do not exceed the

maximum length.
If all troubleshooting fails, see "Getting Help" on page 183.
