INTRODUCTION
Broadcom NetXtreme II User Diagnostics is an MS-DOS based application that runs a series of diagnostic tests (see
Table 3) on the Broadcom NetXtreme II network adapters in your system. Broadcom NetXtreme II User Diagnostics also
allows you to update device firmware and to view and change settings for available adapter properties. There are two
versions of the Broadcom NetXtreme II User Diagnostics: uxdiag.exe (for BCM5706/BCM5708/BCM5709 network adapters)
and uediag.exe (for BCM57710 network adapters).
To run Broadcom NetXtreme II User Diagnostics, create an MS-DOS 6.22 bootable disk containing the uxdiag.exe or
uediag.exe file. Next, start the system with the boot disk in drive A. See Performing Diagnostics for further instructions on
running diagnostic tests on Broadcom network adapters.
