Aptiva - 2139/2153 Running IBM 10/100 EtherJet PCI adapter diagnostics
Applicable to: United States
1. Insert the IBM 10/100 EtherJet Adapter Diagnostic diskette in Drive A: and power up the machine. You should see the following information:
IBM 10/100 EtherJet PCI Adapter
Configuration and Diagnostic Utility - Setup Version 4.11
After that screen, the diagnostic will scan the system looking for the installed adapter.
Note: If the diagnostic program fails to locate the adapter, power down the system and move the adapter to another PCI slot and power up the system again. If the diagnostic fails to locate the adapter after performing this step replace the adapter
2. Select View Adapter Configuration and you should see:
View Adapter Configuration
Adapter Type: ........................................ IBM 100/10
Adapter Part Number:........................... XXXXXXXX
Network Address : ..................................XXXXXXXXXXXXX.
Interrupt: ......................................................XX (set by PCI Bus)
Bus:.............................................................. PCI 0
Slot: ............................................................. 16
Device: ...................................................... 10h
Network Speed:...................................... 10Mbps
Physical Layer device: ...................... Link type 10BaseT
Duplex:...................................................... Half
Adapter capabilities
10 Mbps Full or half duplex
100 Mbps Full or half duplex
Press any key to continue ..
Note: this option provides information such as Network Address, Interrupt and PCI Bus used for this adapter.
3. Press any key and return to the main menu. Remove the UTP cable from the adapter. Select View Adapter configuration option from the menu and you should see the following change the above screen
Network Speed .............................. No Cable
Physical Layer device: ................... 1
Reconnect the cable and press any key to return the main menu.
4. Select Test adapter. This option will launch a series of test to check out the adapter.
Note: The first test is a internal hardware test, much like a post test. the next test runs an internal loop-back test at both 10 Mbps and 100 Mbps. The last test checks out the network.
If all tests do not pass, follow the onscreen instructions.
If all tests pass, the adapter is functioning properly. Return to the Test Adapter menu.
5. Remove the UTP cable from the adapter and run the same test. Note the error message that appears.
Note: This message states that the adapter is not receiving packets and that there may be a problem with the cable or the adapter.
6. Reconnect the cable and select the Test Again option.
Note: You may notice that the system will look for a responder for part of the network test. The responder is another machine on that segment that is setup to return frames that are broadcasted by the adapter that is performing the test.
Do not use the install option provided on the Diagnostic Diskettes
7. This completes the diagnostic process for the 10/100 EtherJet PCI adapter.
