Cheetah PCI Adapter 4. In the event of a problem with the Cheetah PCI Adapter, use the Setup Program to run the card’s built-in diagnostics (see the “SET1207D.TXT” file for specific instructions). Should any of the diagnostic tests fail, reboot your computer and run the diagnostics again to see if the problem persists. If it does, record the failure indicated and contact Accton’s Technical Support for assistance.
Quick Installation Guide Troubleshooting Check the following troubleshooting items before contacting Accton Technical Support. PCI Compatibility Some PCI computers are not self-configuring and require you to perform some or all of the following functions by motherboard jumper changes and/or BIOS Setup program configuration: • Make sure your BIOS correctly supports the PCI Local Bus Specification v2.0 or later and upgrade your computer BIOS to the latest version.
Cheetah PCI Adapter Adapter Installation Problems If your computer can’t find the Cheetah PCI Adapter or the network driver doesn’t install correctly, check the following: • Make sure the adapter is securely seated in the PCI slot. Check for any hardware problems, such as physical damage to the card’s edge connector. • Try the card in another PCI bus-master slot. If all fails, test with another Cheetah PCI Adapter that is known to operate correctly. • Check for resource conflict in the PCI configuration.
