Ethernet network adapter in a 10-Gbit Ethernet network. It includes the following

sections:

• "Verifying Functionality"

• "Resetting the Adapter" on page 11

• "Conﬁguration Parameters" on page 11

Verifying Functionality

This section explains the following:

• "Using LEDs to Determine Functionality"

• "Verifying Adapter Recognition" on page 8

• "Enabling the Adapter" on page 10

• "Verifying that the Adapter is Properly Conﬁgured and Enabled" on page 10

Using LEDs to Determine Functionality

The SGI 10-Gbit Ethernet network adapter has light-emitting diodes (LEDs) that

indicate whether the adapter is conﬁgured correctly and connected to an active

Ethernet. Table 3-1 describes the functions of the LEDs.
