Adapter diagnostics v1.00 Running diagnostics =================== Intel's diagnostic software lets you test the adapter to see if there are any problems with the adapter hardware, the cabling, or the network. It's a good idea to run diagnostics every time you install an adapter. You can also use diagnostics to isolate problems during troubleshooting. 1 Restart your computer before loading any EtherExpress(TM) PRO/10 PCI adapter network drivers. Note: If drivers are installed, you must remove them or disable them and reboot your computer before running the diagnostic software. 2 Insert the Intel Configuration and Driver diskette into a drive, switch to that drive, and at the DOS prompt, type: SETUP 3 From the Adapter menu, select the adapter you want to test. (If you have only one PRO/10 PCI adapter installed, the Adapter menu doesn't appear). 4 From the Main menu, select Test adapter. Then select Test adapter again. The program runs a series of tests that make sure the adapter is functioning properly. 5 Repeat steps 3, 4 and 5 for each EtherExpress PRO/10 PCI adapter installed in the computer. To test the adapter with a responder on the network =================================================== 1 Go to a computer on the same network segment with an EtherExpress 16 ISA, Flash32, EtherExpress PRO/10, EtherExpress PRO/10 PCI, or EtherExpress PRO/100 adapter installed. 2 If this computer already has EtherExpress adapter network drivers installed, restart the computer without loading them. For example, if the drivers are loaded from the AUTOEXEC.BAT file, add REM in front of each line that loads a driver. Or, boot from a DOS disk. 3 Run the diagnostics program for the adapter that's installed in the computer (SOFTSET2, FL32DIAG, SETUP, or E100DIAG). 4 From the Main menu, select the command for testing the adapter, then select Set up as diagnostics responder. 5 Return to the computer you want to test. Run SETUP, choose Test adapter, and then choose Test adapter again.
