Using a Troubleshooting Checklist

If you need to test the network card further, check the following items:

• Inspect all cables and connections. Check the length and rating of the cable.

Make sure that the cable segment is compliant with the requirements shown in

Table 2-3 on page 2-8.

• Connect the network card to a different network port and run the tests again.

If successful, the original network port may be defective or improperly configured.

• Check the network card installation by reviewing Chapter 2, “Hardware

Installation.” Make sure that the network card is properly seated in a PCI slot.

• Check for specific hardware problems, such as broken traces or loose/broken

solder connections.

• Check the configuration settings and change them if they are in conflict with

another device.

• Make sure that your system is using the latest BIOS.

Check the PCI BIOS parameters for proper configuration of the slot where

the card is installed. Table 8-2 shows several possible PCI BIOS parameters.

(These parameters may not all be available on every system.)
