Running a Cable 
Length Test 
For a Windows operating systems, see “Analyzing Cables” in the 
Broadcom Advanced Control Suite 3 User Guide for information on 
running a cable length test.
Testing Network 
Connectivity
This section describes how to test network connectivity for the Windows 
and Linux platforms.
Note
When using forced link speeds, verify that both the adapter and the 
switch are forced to the same speed, or that at least one link partner 
is configured for auto-negotiation. 
Windows 
In the Windows platforms, use the ping command to test network 
connectivity. If the new adapter is the only adapter in the system, you may 
test it by having it ping another device on the network. But if the new 
adapter is in a system that contains more than one adapter, you instead 
should test it by pinging it from another device on your network.
Note
Network connectivity can also be tested using the “Testing 
the Network” feature in the Broadcom Advanced Control Suite 3 
User Guide. 
To determine if the network connection is working, do the following:
1. Click Start, and then click Run. 
2. Type cmd in the Open box, and then click OK.
