Controller problem The Ethernet controller stopped working when another adapter was added to the server. The Ethernet controller stopped working without apparent cause. Action Check the following: Make sure that the cable is connected to the Ethernet controller. Make sure that the PCI system BIOS is current. Reseat the adapter (see "Working with adapters" on page 107). Determine if the interrupt (IRQ) setting assigned to the Ethernet adapter is also assigned to another device in the Configuration/Setup Utility program. Although interrupt sharing is allowed for PCI devices, some devices do not function well when they share an interrupt with a dissimilar PCI device. Try changing the IRQ assigned to the Ethernet adapter or the other device. If the problem still exists, run the server diagnostic programs (see "Diagnostic programs" on page 10) and check with the system administrator. Check the following: Run diagnostics for the Ethernet controller. Try a different connector on the hub. Reinstall the device drivers. Refer to the operating-system documentation and to the "ServerGuide and Netfinity Manager Information" section of this Server Library. If the problem still exists run the server diagnostic programs (see "Diagnostic programs" on page 10). Updating device records and reconfiguring the server When you start the server for the first time after you add or remove an internal option or an external SCSI device, you might see a message telling you that the configuration has changed. Some options have device drivers that you need to install. Refer to the documentation that comes with the option for information about installing any required device drivers. If you have more than one microprocessor installed, you might want to upgrade the operating system. Refer to "ServerGuide and Netfinity Manager Information" section of this Server Library. If you have installed or removed hard disk drives and the server has a RAID adapter installed, refer to the documentation provided with the RAID adapter for information about reconfiguring the disk arrays. 60 Netfinity Server HMM
