Suggested Action
Check the following:
v Make sure that the cable is connected to the Ethernet controller.
v Make sure that your PCI computer BIOS code is current.
v Reseat the adapter.
v Determine if the IRQ setting assigned to the Ethernet adapter is also assigned to
another device in the IBM Setup Utility program.
Although interrupt sharing is possible for PCI devices, some devices do not
function well when they share an interrupt with a dissimilar PCI device. Try
changing the IRQ assigned to the Ethernet adapter or the other device.
Check the following:
v Run diagnostics for the Ethernet controller.
v Try a different connector on the hub.
v Reinstall the device drivers. Refer to your operating system documentation and to
"Recovering or installing device drivers" on page 25 in this publication.

Description
Explanation: An unknown error has occurred when trying to allocate needed
resources for the AFT Module.
Action:
v Check the computer configuration. If the problem persists, contact the
network administrator.
v Verify that the Ethernet controller is enabled. If the Ethernet controller is
enabled, run the diagnostic programs.
Explanation: An attempt was made to rebind an adapter already in an AFT
group.
Action: Check the AFT slot numbers for existing AFT teams. If the problem
persists, contact the network administrator
Explanation: The bind command was entered prior to loading the device
driver. The device driver must be loaded after loading AFT.NLM, but before
any bind command can be issued.
Action: Load the driver for the supported adapter and try loading the AFT
module again. If the problem persists, contact the network administrator.
Explanation: The appropriate or expected number of parameters was not
entered in a command.
Action: Check the parameters required for the given command. If the problem
persists, contact the network administrator.
