Step 3.
Determine whether the hub supports auto-negotiation. If it does not, try configuring the integrated
Ethernet controller manually to match the speed and duplex mode of the hub.
Step 4.
Check the Ethernet controller LEDs on the server. These LEDs indicate whether there is a problem
with the connector, cable, or hub.
Ethernet controller LED locations are specified in
• The Ethernet link status LED is lit when the Ethernet controller receives a link pulse from the hub.
If the LED is off, there might be a defective connector or cable or a problem with the hub.
• The Ethernet transmit/receive activity LED is lit when the Ethernet controller sends or receives
data over the Ethernet network. If the Ethernet transmit/receive activity is off, make sure that the
hub and network are operating and that the correct device drivers are installed.
Step 5.
Check the Network activity LED on the server. The Network activity LED is lit when data is active on
the Ethernet network. If the Network activity LED is off, make sure that the hub and network are
operating and that the correct device drivers are installed.
Network activity LED location is specified in
Step 6.
Check for operating-system-specific causes of the problem, and also make sure that the operating
system drivers are installed correctly.
Step 7.
Make sure that the device drivers on the client and server are using the same protocol.
If the Ethernet controller still cannot connect to the network but the hardware appears to be working, the
network administrator must investigate other possible causes of the error.
