116 Troubleshooting Your System
Troubleshooting a NIC
Problem
• NIC cannot communicate with network.
Action
1 Run the appropriate online diagnostic test. See "Running the System Diagnostics" on page 132.
2 Check the appropriate indicator on the NIC connector. See "NIC Indicator Codes" on page 19.
• If the link indicator does not light, check all cable connections.
• If the activity indicator does not light, the network driver files might be damaged or missing.
Remove and reinstall the drivers if applicable. See the NIC's documentation.
• Change the autonegotiation setting, if possible.
• Use another connector on the switch or hub.
If you are using a NIC card instead of an integrated NIC, see the documentation for the NIC card.
3 Ensure that the appropriate drivers are installed and the protocols are bound. See the NIC's
documentation.
4 Enter the System Setup program and confirm that the NICs are enabled. See "Using the System Setup
Program" on page 37.
5 Ensure that the NICs, hubs, and switches on the network are all set to the same data transmission
speed. See the network equipment documentation.
6 Ensure that all network cables are of the proper type and do not exceed the maximum length. See
Network Cable Requirements in your
Getting Started Guide .
Troubleshooting a Wet System
Problem
• Liquid spilled on the system.
• Excessive humidity.
Action
CAUTION: Only trained service technicians are authorized to remove the system cover and access any of the
components inside the system. Before performing any procedure, see your Product Information Guide for
complete information about safety precautions, working inside the computer and protecting against electrostatic
discharge.
1 Turn off the system and attached peripherals, and disconnect the system from the electrical outlet.
2 Open the system. See "Opening and Closing the System" on page 54.
