8. Refer to the table to set the parameters in the entry fields. Entry Field Description NIC Detected Adapter Instance: To distinguish multimode network cards installed in the system, each is assigned a unique instance number. Typically, the first network card detected is instance 1, and the next is instance 2. Bus: Shows on which PCI bus the network card is operating. The number shown is typically 0 for a system with up to 4 PCI slots on its bus. The number may be slightly higher for servers with more than 4 PCI slots. Slot: Shows the PCI slot number where the Model GA620 Gigabit Ethernet Card is installed. Link Negotiation Enabled When checked (default): 802.3z-compliant Gigabit Ethernet Link Negotiation is used. All Model GA620 Gigabit Ethernet Cards use Link Negotiation by default. When unchecked: Link Negotiation is disabled and only link signal detection is used. Use this setting when connecting to Gigabit Ethernet equipment that does not support Link Negotiation or if there is a problem establishing a link between the card and the connecting device. The link is set for 1000 Mbps full-duplex mode. Be sure that the connecting device uses the same duplex mode and speed settings. Rx Flow Control Enabled When checked (default) and link negotiation is enabled: The card negotiates 802.3x receive flow control with the device at the other end of the link. If 802.3x flow control is supported by the other device, receive flow control is enabled. When unchecked or link negotiation is disabled: Receive flow control is disabled. Tx Flow Control Enabled When checked and link negotiation is enabled: The card negotiates 802.3x transmit flow control with the device at the other end of the link. If 802.3x flow control is supported by the other device, transmit flow control is enabled. When unchecked (default) or link negotiation is disabled, transmit flow control is disabled.
