| Description | Adapter link down: IBM Netfinity 10/100 Ethernet Adapter. |
| Event Information | This document details the fault tolerant setup and testing of the IBM Netfinity 10/100 ethernet adapter (Intel chipset) under Microsoft Windows 2000. While it is possible to install the IBM Network Interface Cards (NICs) as part of the regular operating system install, this document assumes that the operating system is already installed and up and running. This was done to keep the procedure as simple as possible. The install will require one diskette and one program. The IBM 10/100 Ethernet adapter diskette (Intel chipset) is a common driver diskette that includes the drivers for Windows 2000. The program is zipped and contains the PROset software that sets up the teaming and load balancing. 1. With the system powered off, install the ethernet adapters. Try to install the adapters in the same type of slot, i.e. both 64-bit, both hot swap, etc. 2. Power up the system and boot up to the operating system. Windows 2000 should detect the NICs at boot. 3. Right-click Network Neighborhood, and select Properties. Select the Adapters tab of Network Properties and select the Add button. The Add Network Adapter dialog box will appear. 4. Place the driver diskette in the diskette drive and select Have Disk. After scanning the diskette, the Select OEM Option box will appear. The IBM NIC driver should already be highlighted. Click OK to load the driver. The Network Properties will now display the NICs. 5. Remove the driver diskette. Unzip the PROset files. Open or browse the folder that you unzipped the PROset software. In the PROset folder, open the SETUP subdirectory and locate and execute SETUP.EXE. A dialog box will open explaining that you are about to install the PROset Software. Click Yes to continue. After the install completes, you will be prompted to reboot the system. Reboot the system. 6. After the system reboots, you should see a small icon on the taskbar for the Intel PROset utility. You can access the PROset utility by double-clicking that icon, |
