7.6 Option Card Problems
Option card problems can include problems related to network options
and PCI options.
Network Problems
Network problems can vary, depending on the type of network option card that
you have installed. See the option card documentation for information on
troubleshooting network problems. Make sure you have correctly set the
network type for the network interface card.
PCI Parity Errors
Some PCI devices do not implement PCI parity, and some have a parity-
generating scheme that may not comply with the PCI Specification. In such
cases, the device functions properly as long as parity is not checked.
You can turn off parity checking so that false PCI parity errors do not result in
machine check errors. When you disable PCI parity, no parity checking is
implemented for any PCI device.
• For UNIX and OpenVMS systems, use the set pci_parity off command
from the SRM console.
• For Windows NT, set the PCI Parity Checking option on the Advanced
CMOS Setup menu to Disabled.
