Ethernet controller test

Use this information to resolve Ethernet controller errors.

Follow the suggested actions in the order in which they are listed in the Action column until the problem is solved.
  • See Parts listing - BladeCenter HX5 to determine which components are CRUs and which components are FRUs.
  • If an action step is preceded by "(Trained service technician only)," that step must be performed only by a trained service technician.
