Using Proset Utility Diagnostics - NEC Express5800/320Ma Manual

Using PROSet Utility Diagnostics

Use the PROSet utility to run diagnostic tests on Ethernet connections, cables, and
hardware.
To start PROSet Utility diagnostics
1. Start the PROSet utility if you have not already done so (see
page 2-7).
2. In the left pane of the Intel(R) PROSet for Wired Connections dialog box, click
an individual Ethernet PCI adapter or an adapter that is part of a team.
3. In the right pane, click the General tab, then click Diagnostics.
4. In the Diagnostics dialog box, click the Connection, Cable, or Hardware tab for
the appropriate test
5. Click Run Test. The test results are displayed in the Diagnostics dialog box.
N O T E S
1. Running Hardware diagnostic tests on the primary
adapter in an AFT or SFT team stops network traffic
until the secondary PCI adapter takes over. Running
Hardware diagnostics on the secondary adapter
could reduce throughput. Running Hardware
diagnostics on an unteamed PCI adapter stops
network traffic during the entire test.
2. By default, the system software installation enables
logging of Hardware diagnostics in the
PROSetDiagLog.Log file, which is located in
C:\Program Files\Stratus\Management\Logs. You do
not need to modify the Windows registry to enable this
feature, as specified in the PROSet online help.
