The Full-Duplex Function should be enabled only
if the server you are attached to and all intercon-
necting devices (e.g. switching hubs) support this
mode.
Boot ROM Size should only be set if a Boot ROM
is present on the card. Enabling this setting allows
remote booting from the server. Refer to Section
2.2.1 for more information on installing the Boot
ROM.
2.4.3 Testing The Adapter
Setup provides the following testing options under
Run Diagnostics:
• Run EEPROM Test
• Run Diagnostic On Board
• Run Diagnostic On Network
Note: Do not run SETUP with network drivers
loaded.
The Run EEPROM Test option performs read/
write tests on the adapter's on-board EEPROM
registers and reports the results.
The Run Diagnostic On Board option runs sev-
eral tests and the results are indicated by either
PASS or FAIL counts. Make sure that the network
cable is attached (and properly terminated if using
a BNC connection) to the adapter when using this
option. If any test has a fail count, press the
spacebar for help on the reason for the failure and
possible solutions.
The following tests are performed in the Run
Diagnostic On Board option:
1.
Board Reset: Confirms the adapter will
reset.
2.
I/O Registers: Checks I/O accessibility.
3.
Loop back Test: Checks the adapter's con-
troller.
4.
Cable Connection: Tests for a correct cable
connection.
