Chapter 3: Troubleshooting Tips
The computer can NOT detect the 2-Port Gigabit Ethernet PCIe Card
1. Make sure that the PCI Express card is correctly plugged into the PCI
Express slot; if not, turn off the computer and plug it again.
2. If the PCI Express card is plugged in correctly, see if the golden connectors
on the card are clean; if not, clean the connector surface.
3. If still NOT, please change another PCI Express slot on your motherboard.
4. Please upgrade your motherboard BIOS to the latest version. If it still not work,
contact your motherboard vendor asking the advanced supporting for BIOS
updated.
5. The board itself might be defective. You can try another motherboard testing
2-Port Gigabit Ethernet PCIe Card working or not.
Computer failed to start after inserting the 2-Port Gigabit Ethernet PCIe Card
Turn off the computer, remove the 2-Port Gigabit Ethernet PCIe Card, and try to
restart the computer. If the computer starts successfully, it means that the card has
not been inserted into the PCI Express slot correctly. Please clean golden figure by
rubber firstly, then change another PCI Express slot.
I can not use Gigabit Ethernet transfer speed
1. Please confirm your Ethernet environment supporting Gigabit structure.
2. Please use CAT 6 UTP/STP cable.
