AD337A, AD338A, and AD339A PCIe Gigabit Ethernet Card Overview

Product Overview: AD337A and AD338A

• Supports updating (writing ) asset tag in Vital Product Data (VPD).

Known Issues with AD339A

Following is a list of the known problems of AD339A:

• JAGag47127/QXCR1000591312 -- Two out of four ports are not recognized at the EFI level. After

boot, the card is fully functional -- all ports are available. LAN boot only needs 1 port and it is

usually done via the core LAN. The top two ports always work. This will be fixed in a forthcoming

system firmware update. This behavior only occurs when the AD339A is in sd64000 (sx2000

chipset), rx8640, or rx7640 servers.

• JAGag47129 -- EFI ftp put fails with EFI driver. Results in error printed out “snp->undi.transmit()

8000h:4h“. The problem only occurs during EFI ftp put (push) not during get (pull). It does not

affect LAN boot. It only affects the ability to transfer files out to other systems at the EFI level.

This will be fixed in a forthcoming EFI driver update.

LED Information

LEDs are provided to indicate Link Activity and Link Speed as follows:

• For AD337A and AD339A, there are two LEDs:

• Activity/Link LED = GREEN light ON when link is established; FLASHING when there is data traffic;

OFF when link is not established.

• Speed LED:

— Orange if speed is 1000Mbit/s.

— Green if speed in 100Mbit/s.

— OFF if speed is 10Mbit/s.

• For AD338A, there is only one LED:
