3 The OS is not bootable. • Check if the LAN card operates normally.

• Check if the driver is installed correctly.

• Check if the LAN card is inserted in the PCI slot
correctly.

Try removing and installing it again to se e if the
problem is resolved.

• Check if the LAN card is recognized correctly.

• Check if the driver is installed correctly.

• Check if the power is turned at the connected
device.

• Check if the appropriate category of LAN cable is
used for the connected device.

• Check if the length of the LAN cable exceeds the
limit.

• Check if the link to the connected device is
