Troubleshooting
Here are some troubleshooting steps to follow if you experience issues with the HPE Flexfabric 10GBPS PCIe 2.0 Network Adapter:
- Check the adapter’s connections: Make sure that the network cable is securely plugged into the adapter’s RJ-45 port and that the adapter is properly seated in the PCIe slot.
- Verify the adapter’s settings: Check the adapter’s IP address, subnet mask, gateway, DNS servers, and other network settings to ensure that they are correct and compatible with your network infrastructure.
- Test network connectivity: Use network diagnostic tools, such as ping or traceroute, to test network connectivity and identify any connectivity issues.
- Monitor network traffic: Use network monitoring tools to identify any issues with network traffic or performance, such as high latency or packet loss.
- Check for firmware and driver updates: Ensure that the adapter’s firmware and drivers are up to date and compatible with the server’s operating system and network infrastructure.
- Disable conflicting devices or settings: If you have other network devices or settings that may be conflicting with the adapter, such as duplicate IP addresses or conflicting VLAN settings, disable or reconfigure them to avoid conflicts.
- Reset the adapter: If you are still experiencing issues, try resetting the adapter by removing it from the PCIe slot and reseating it, or by resetting the server’s BIOS settings.
- Contact technical support: If none of the above troubleshooting steps resolves the issue, contact HPE technical support for further assistance.
