Power on the system.
Check the driver version on your system:
# modinfo|grep ixgbe 173 7b762000 17998 100 1 ixgbe (Intel 10Gb Ethernet 1.0.9)
If the version number is not 1.0.9 or newer, you must install the latest driver patch. See OS Patches and Updates.
Check to see if the card is properly installed and recognized by the OS:
# grep ixgbe /etc/path_to_inst
If the card is properly installed, you will see output similar to the following:
"/pci@0,0/pci8086,3410@9/pci108e,7b11@0" 0 "ixgbe" "/pci@0,0/pci8086,3410@9/pci108e,7b11@0,1" 1 "ixgbe"
