Troubleshooting tools are used to identify faulty adapters. For this product,
the following tools are available:
Card LEDs
The six LEDs on the back of the card can be used to determine the state of the
adapter while the driver on the system is running.
 |
NOTE: All of the LEDs on the card (except the Power LED) are
initialized by the driver when the link is started on the system. Therefore,
until the driver initializes the card, the state of the LEDs cannot be
reliably interpreted.
|
The Power LED will be on at any time power is applied to the system. To
interpret the other LEDs, the driver must be running. The following
Table 2-1 "Troubleshooting Checklist", can
be used to determine a possible problem.
Table 2-1 Troubleshooting Checklist
| LED state |
Possible cause |
Solution |
| Power LED off |
No power applied to card |
Check power to HP-PB bus/system, verify adapter is properly seated in its
slot. |
| Blown fuse |
Replace the adapter |
| Test LED on |
Driver has detected a fatal hardware or software condition |
Consult console and/or log files for error messages. Retry the operation.
If necessary, contact HP or replace the adapter. |
| Link LED off |
Card is not receiving link signals from hub/switch |
Verify link has been started by the operator. If so, verify proper
configuration of the link and the hub/switch port. Check/replace the
cable. |
| Activity LED off |
Card is not sending or receiving data to/from the hub/switch |
This condition is normal when the link LED is off or when the hub is not
sending or receiving data to/from the adapter. If you believe data is
being sent/received, check the hub/switch port configuration, and also the
network and/or MAC address configuration for the link.
