Adaptec Fibre Card 9110G User’s Reference
Troubleshooting
The following tips are general troubleshooting procedures:
■ Check that the card is seated evenly all the way into the PCI
slot.
■ Check motherboard system documentation to ensure that bus
mastering support is provided and enabled for the PCI 2.1
compliant slot containing the Adaptec Fibre Card 9110G.
■ Check that the GBIC is seated correctly into the adapter.
■ Check that the cable is inserted all the way into the GBIC.
■ Check that all peripherals are connected correctly throughout
the loop. Peripherals with intermittent connections can cause
long OS initialization during power on. Remove suspect
peripheral from loop.
■ Check the LED lights. The PWR/ACT LED turns on at power
up, and flashes after the card is initialized. The LNK LED
indicates that the link is up. For more information on verifying
the adapter card, see Verifying the Adapter on page 11.
■ If not using a hub or switch, make sure that the cables are
connected correctly throughout the loop. The loop must be in
series, from one device to another.
■ Verify that at least one device in the loop is powered up if you
are not using a hub or switch. Hubs or switches detect devices
that are not powered up and automatically do a port bypass.
