and network activity. After the card and driver are properly installed, 
the LEDs will become active.

properly connected and receiving a signal. If this LED is not lit, it may 
indicate one of the following:

No twisted pair cable is connected.

The network cable is not properly connected or is faulty.

A non–10Base-T device is connected at the other end of the 

network cable.

■

The network cable exceeds 100 meters.

You are using a ‘straight through’ 10Base-T cable to connect 

directly to another workstation without a hub.

■

transmitted or received by the PCI card. If the light is off, it indicates
