• The ping command is used to check network connectivity. Using one of the IP

Addresses from the output of the ipconfig command in the previous step, type ping [ip

address]. If the adapter is connected to the network correctly, output similar to the

preceding screen will be returned.

• Once the server has been pinged and indicates no problems, ping another host on the

same network. If the server is within the same IP group and subnet mask as the target

host and valid replies similar to the output below are not received, check the network

parameters to ensure the server’s IP address and subnet mask are correct.

Installation with Linux

The method for installing Linux drivers for this card will vary based on the Linux distribution that

you are using. In most cases, Linux will automatically detect the installed PCI devices and load the

appropriate driver. We recommend you refer to the documentation for your particular Linux
