There may be a network connection problem if the LED on the
card’s bracket does not light, or if you cannot access any network
resources from the computer. Check the following items.
• Be sure you are using Category 5 cable for 100 Mbps
connections, and that the length of any cable does not exceed
100 m (328 ft).
• Inspect all network cables and connections. Make sure the
network cable is securely attached to the card’s connector.
• Make sure the correct network card driver is installed for your
operating system. If necessary, try reinstalling the driver.
• Make sure the computer and other network devices are
receiving power. If you suspect a power outlet to be faulty, plug
another device into it to verify that it is working.

manually, check that it matches that of the attached network
device port. Note that it is recommended to set the card to
auto-negotiation when installing the network driver.

be defective. Try using another port on the device.
