CD-ROM Drive Activity Light Does Not Light Check the following: ‰ Are the power and signal cables to the CD-ROM drive properly installed? ‰ Are all relevant switches and jumpers on the drive set correctly? ‰ Is the drive properly configured? ‰ Is the onboard IDE controller enabled in the BIOS? Network Problems The server hangs when the drivers are loaded. ‰ Change the PCI interrupt settings. Try the "PCI Installation Tips" below. Diagnostics pass, but the connection fails. ‰ Make sure the network cable is securely attached. ‰ Make sure you specify the correct frame type in your NET.CFG file. The Link LED does not light. ‰ Make sure you have loaded the network drivers. ‰ Check all cable connections. ‰ Try another port on the hub or switch. ‰ Make sure you have the correct type of cable between the adapter and the hub or switch. Some hubs and switches require a crossover cable while others require a straight through cable. For more information on crossover cabling, see your hub or switch documentation.
