Testing the Adapter

System Information tests your computer and determines the

computer’s currently available I/O base addresses and interrupt

lines.

Adapter Diagnostic tests the adapter card’s components by send-

ing packets across the cable. You must attach the cable to run

the diagnostic program. The screen will display information that

includes interrupt line, I/O base address and board address.

Exit returns you to DOS.

From the Main Menu, select Adapter Diagnostic and press Enter.

The program runs a number of tests. The names of the tests and

their results (PASS or FAIL) are displayed in a table for you.

When the tests finish, verify the results to make sure that all tests

passed.

If a test fails, check for conflicts with IRQ number, I/O address,

and memory address parameters you’ve set. If you find a conflict,

change to a parameter that is not being used by other devices.

Press any key to return to the Main Menu.

Select Exit and press Enter to return to the Configuration Pro-

gram menu.

Select Exit and press Enter to return to DOS.

∆ When you finish using the diagnostic program, you must

reload the network drivers.

The following procedure shows you how to get system information.
