Troubleshooting a NIC

Problem
• NIC cannot communicate with network.
Action
1 Run the appropriate online diagnostic test (see "Running the System
Diagnostics" on page 164).
2 Check the appropriate indicator on the NIC connector (see "NIC
Indicator Codes" on page 18).
• If the link indicator does not light, check all cable connections.
• If the activity indicator does not light, the network driver files might
be damaged or missing.
Remove and reinstall the drivers if applicable. See the NIC's
documentation.
• 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.
3 Ensure that the appropriate drivers are installed and the protocols are
bound. See the NIC's documentation.
4 Enter the System Setup program and confirm that the NICs are enabled
(see "Entering the System Setup Program" on page 41).
