Check to see if the network adapter is inserted in the PCI slot properly.
Otherwise, please reinsert the adapter.

3. Why am I only getting a network connection speed of 100Mbps instead of
1000Mbps?
Check your Ethernet cable, and make sure you are using CAT-5e or CAT-6
Ethernet cables. Some CAT-5 cables are not capable of running at
1000Mbps.
Ensure that you are connected to a 1000Mbps switch.
Contact your dealer if problems persist.
