1. Open Intel PROSet.
2. If the adapter is part of a team remove the adapter from the team.
3. Shut down the server and unplug the power cable.
4. Disconnect the network cable from the adapter.
5. Open the case and remove the adapter.
6. Insert the replacement adapter. (Use the same slot, otherwise Windows assumes that there is a new
adapter.)
7. Reconnect the network cable.
8. Close the case, reattach the power cable, and power-up the server.
9. Open Intel PROSet and check to see that the adapter is available.
Microsoft* Load Balancing and Failover (LBFO) teams
Intel ANS teaming and VLANs are not compatible with Microsoft's LBFO teams. Intel® PROSet will block a
member of an LBFO team from being added to an Intel ANS team or VLAN. You should not add a port that is
already part of an Intel ANS team or VLAN to an LBFO team, as this may cause system instability. If you use
an ANS team member or VLAN in an LBFO team, perform the following procedure to restore your
configuration:
1. Reboot the machine
2. Remove LBFO team. Even though LBFO team creation failed, after a reboot Server Manager will report
that LBFO is Enabled, and the LBFO interface is present in the 'NIC Teaming' GUI.
3. Remove the ANS teams and VLANs involved in the LBFO team and recreate them. This is an optional
(all bindings are restored when the LBFO team is removed ), but strongly recommended step
NOTES:
l If you add an Intel AMT enabled port to an LBFO team, do not set the port to Standby in the
LBFO team. If you set the port to Standby you may lose AMT functionality.
l Data Center Bridging (DCB) is incompatible with Microsoft Server 2012 NIC Teaming
(LBFO). Do not create an LBFO team using Intel 10G ports when DCB is installed. Do not
install DCB if Intel 10G ports are part of an LBFO team. Install failures and persistent link
loss may occur if DCB and LBFO are used on the same port.
