Troubleshooting 7-25
7.6 Option Card Problems
Option card problems can include problems related to network options
and PCI options.
Network Problems
Network problems can vary, depending on the type of network option card that
you have installed. See the option card documentation for information on
troubleshooting network problems. Make sure you have correctly set the
networktypeforthenetworkinterfacecard.
PCI Parity Errors
Some PCI devices do not implement PCI parity, and some have a parity-
generating scheme that may not comply with the PCI Specification. In such
cases, the device functions properly as long as parity is not checked.
Parity checking can be turned off (with the set pci_parity off command) so
that false PCI parity errors do not result in machine check errors. However, if
you disable PCI parity, no parity checking is implemented for any PCI device.
Turning off PCI parity is, therefore, not recommended or supported.
