Additional troubleshooting Information
Ethernet
Follow these guidelines to eliminate or avoid Ethernet problems:
m Connect an Apple PCI Ethernet card to only one network at a time.
Although the card has three connectors, it should not be connected to more
than one network.
m Do not install an Apple PCI Ethernet card without connecting a
network cable.
If you configure an Apple PCI Ethernet card by assigning it an IP address
or by enabling AppleTalk, the card attempts to determine which of the
three possible media types is connected to it. If you have not connected a
network cable, you will hear clicking sounds every few seconds. These
clicking sounds continue until the cable is connected. Although this should
cause no serious problems, the lack of a cable may cause long pauses
during system startup, as the system attempts to contact other servers on
the network.
m For maximum performance, always install Ethernet cards beginning with
the slot farthest away from the processor card—slot 6 before slot 5, and so on.
Keyboard
It is strongly recommended that you use an Apple Extended Keyboard or an
equivalent third-party keyboard with all models of the Network Server.
Monitors
You must use a monitor with multiple scan support with the Network Server.
Many older monitors do not work with the Network Server.
