Safety Precautions WARNING: The adapter is being installed in a system that operates with voltages that can be lethal. Before removing your system's cover, observe the following precautions to protect yourself and to prevent damage to the system components. ● ● ● ● Remove any metallic objects or jewelry from your hands and wrists. Make sure to use only insulated or nonconducting tools. Verify that the system is powered OFF and unplugged before accessing internal components.
NOTE: The connector dock in a 32-bit PCI slot is shorter than in a 64-bit PCI slot. Although the adapter is designed to fit in either slot type, when installed in a 32-bit PCI slot, part of the adapter’s connector edge will remain undocked. This is perfectly normal. 5. Applying even pressure at both corners of the card, push the adapter card until it is firmly seated in the PCI slot.
NOTE: After the cable is properly connected at both ends, the adapter port LEDs should be functional. See Table 1 for a description of adapter port LED operation. For driver installation and configuration instructions, refer to the software configuration for that specific driver.

MAC Address. This is a physical MAC (media access control) address that is assigned to the device by the manufacturer. The physical address is never all 0s. IP Address: The network address that is associated with the device. If the IP address is all 0s, this means that the associated driver has not been bound with Internet Protocol (IP). Driver Status. The status of the driver that is associated with the selected device. Loaded. Normal operating mode.
Bus Type. The type of input/output (I/O) interconnect used by the controller. Slot No. The PCI slot number on the system board occupied by the controller. This item is not available for PCI-E type controllers. Bus Speed (MHz). The bus clock signal frequency used by the controller. This item is not available for PCI-E type controllers. Bus Width (bit). The number of bits that the bus can transfer at a single time to and from the controller. This item is not available for PCI-E type controllers. Bus No.
From the Advanced tab, you can view and change the settings of the available properties of the selected device. The potentially available properties and their respective settings are described below. To view the setting of a property, click the name of the property in the Property list. The property setting is displayed in the Value box. To change the setting, click an item in the Value list or type a new value, as appropriate (selection options are different for different properties). 802.1p QOS The 802.
The Speed & Duplex property sets the connection speed and mode to that of the network. Note that Full-Duplex mode allows the controller to transmit and receive network data simultaneously. 10 Mb Full. Sets the speed at 10 Mbit/s and the mode to Full-Duplex. 10 Mb Half.

Auto (default).
From the Network Test tab, you can verify IP network connectivity. This test verifies if the driver is installed correctly and tests connectivity to a gateway or other specified IP address on the same subnet. The Network test uses TCP/IP. The network test sends ICMP packets to remote systems and waits for a response. If a gateway is configured, the test automatically sends packets to that system.
Control Registers. This test verifies the read and write capabilities of the network adapter registers by writing various values to the registers and verifying the results. The device driver uses these registers to perform network functions such as sending and receiving information. A test failure indicates that the device may not be working properly. MII Registers. This test verifies the read and write capabilities of the registers of the physical layer (PHY).
From the Statistics tab, you can view network traffic statistics. General Statistics Frames Tx OK. A count of the frames that are successfully transmitted. This counter is incremented when the transmit status is reported as Transmit OK. Frames Rx OK. A count of the frames that are successfully received. This does not include frames received with frame-too-long, frame check sequence (FCS), length, or alignment errors, or frames lost due to internal MAC sublayer errors.
Broadcast Frames Rx. A count of frames that are successfully received and are directed to a broadcast group address. This count does not include frames received with frame-too-long, FCS, length, or alignment errors, or frames lost due to internal MAC sublayer errors. This counter is incremented as indicated by the Receive OK status. Frames Rx with CRC Error. The number of frames received with CRC errors. IEEE 802.3 Statistics Frames Rx with Alignment Error.
Back to Contents Page Broadcom Boot Agent Driver Software: Broadcom 440X 10/100 Integrated Controller User Guide Overview Client Setup Server Setup Overview The Broadcom 440X 10/100 Integrated Controller supports Preboot eXecution Environment (PXE). PXE is a software module that allows your networked computer to boot with the images provided by remote servers across the network. The Broadcom PXE driver complies with the PXE 2.1 specification and is released with both monolithic and split binary images.
Setting up the Client 1. Select and program the proper PXE image. 2. Enable/disable the PXE driver with the Broadcom DOS utility that is provided. 3. Set up the BIOS for the boot order. Selecting/Programming the Proper PXE Image PXE is released with three different images: b44pxe.lom. This is a monolithic image that consists of both PXE base-code (BC) and UNDI code. This image should be used on the adapter where the motherboard does not have a built-in BC.
Windows 2000 The current version of Windows 2000 does not include a network driver for the Broadcom 440X 10/100 Integrated Controller. To do remote installation with PXE, include a network driver for the Broadcom 440X 10/100 Integrated Controller as a part of the client installation image on the server. Refer to Microsoft Knowledge Base Article - 246184, "How to Add Third-Party OEM Network Adapters to RIS Installations." See also Troubleshooting for details.

Back to Contents Page DOS Diagnostics: Broadcom 440X 10/100 Integrated Controller User Guide Introduction Prerequisites Diagnostic Test Descriptions Introduction B44UDIAG is a DOS based program that runs a series of diagnostic tests on the Broadcom 440X 10/100 Integrated Controller. If any test fails, the B44UDIAG program displays an error and exits to DOS. The following options are available: Option Operation -l file Logs the data to a file. -c num Specifies the card to be tested.
-x Searches devices based on vendor ID only. -info Option to display Dev ID, Ven ID, Sven ID, SSystem ID. -mc Force to accept full length MAC address. To run B44UDIAG Create a MS-DOS 6.22 bootable floppy disk containing the B44UDIAG.EXE file. Next, start the computer with the boot disk in the floppy disk drive. At the MS-DOS prompt, type b44udiag -options, as shown in the following example. Example A:\ b44udiag -l test.
A3. Interrupt Test Verifies the interrupt functionality by enabling interrupt and waiting for interrupts to occur. It waits for 500 ms and reports an error if it cannot generate interrupts. A4. Built-In Self-Test Runs the built-in self-test. A5. CAM Test This test runs the content addressable memory (CAM) read/write test. There are 48-bit patterns written to 64 entries of CAM space. The test reads back the 64 entries and checks them against 6 patterns such as FFFF, 0000, 5555, AAAA, 55AA, AA55.
