Reference Guide for the Model GA620 Gigabit Ethernet Card
5-4 Troubleshooting
Check the PCI BIOS parameters for proper configuration of the slot where the card is
installed. Table 5-2 shows several possible PCI BIOS parameters. (These parameters may not
all be available on every system.)
• Try inserting the network card in another slot. If the new position works, the original slot in
your system may be defective.
• Replace the failed network card with one that is known to work properly. If the second card
works in the slot where the first one failed, the original card is probably defective.
• Install the network card in another functioning system and run the tests again. If the card
passed the tests in the new system, the original system may be defective.
• Remove all other network cards from the system and run the tests again. If the card passes the
tests, the other cards might be causing contention.
