3 Troubleshooting and Repair HP Vectra Integrated Ethernet Diagnostic Utility NOTE Interface Test Link Test HP Vectra Integrated Ethernet Diagnostic Utility The HP Vectra Integrated Ethernet Diagnostic Utility (HPIEDIAG.EXE) includes diagnostics for testing the integrated LAN interface. If the PC is supplied with a LAN disk, the HPIEDIAG utility is located in the \DIAG directory. If the PC has preinstalled software on the hard disk, the HPIEDIAG utility is located in the \LANDRV\DIAG directory on the hard disk. Do not run the HPIEDIAG utility while the LAN drivers are loaded in memory. Do not run HPIEDIAG if the PC's power-on self-test detected a problem with the integrated Ethernet interface. To use the Integrated Ethernet Diagnostic Utility: 1 Insert the diskette containing the HPIEDIAG utility in drive A. 2 Make drive A the current drive, type A: . 3 Change to the DIAG directory, type CD \DIAG . 4 Start the HPIEDIAG utility, type HPIEDIAG . The integrated Ethernet diagnostic utility detects the presence of the integrated Ethernet interface and displays the settings of the interface (for example, the MAC address). Use this option to do a quick test of the interface's hardware and configuration. During this test, no packets are sent or received over the network, so the network cable does not have to be attached to the interface. This option tests the interface's ability to send and receive packets over the network. For this test, the network cable must be attached to the interface. The test sends IEEE 802.2 test packets out on the network. Another node on the network must act as the responder. Any HP Hub Plus, HP SNMPmanaged bridge, or HP router will respond correctly. The HPIEDIAG utility automatically finds a responder on the network. New revisions of the Diagnostic Utility are made available on the HP BBS. 30
