Basic Troubleshooting Tips

Checking the Port LEDs

The front panel of the GA311 has four LEDs: one for each port speed option (10Mbps, 100 Mbps
and 1000Mbps) to indicate which link is active, and one LED for data transfer status.
Before the port LEDs can provide troubleshooting information, the card must be connected to the
network, and the network drivers for your particular operating system must be installed. See
"Basic Installation Instructions" on page 3-3 for more information.
