Preconfiguration Information
-
Insert a 10BASE-T UTP, 10/100BASE-TX UTP, 100BASE-FX, or 100VG-AnyLAN UTP module into the NetFlex-3 PCI controller base unit. For Netelligent and DualPort controllers, this step is not required.
Supported Settings
NetFlex-3/P controllers:
|
o IRQ Level: |
2(9), 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 10, 11 |
Netelligent controllers:
|
o IRQ Level: |
2(9), 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 10, 11, 12, 14, 15 |
Known Problems and Limitations
-
Trying to remove NetFlex-3 controllers configured at the same IRQ produces the error message: "Couldn't remove function . . . . from ipl, irq".
-
Configuring a NetFlex-3 controller and a NetFlex-2 controller on the same IRQ line on the same server could result in one of the controllers not being available. Configure the two cards to different IRQ lines.
-
To get good performance for 100BASE, full duplex operation, the media speed and duplex mode have to be forced to 100 and 2, respectively.
-
Both the UTP and AUI interfaces are supported by the Integrated NetFlex-3 controller on the ProLiant 2500. However, net booting is supported only using the UTP interface.
-
Netbooting is supported only using the UTP interface on the ProLiant 800 and Deskpro 4000/6000.
