The displayed value represents the total number of packets with receive errors. The string description displays the adapter that caused the alarm, and a default value against which the current threshold is measured.
Receive errors can be caused by busy networks, cabling that does not meet specifications, or other network faults (for example, adapters that are not properly connected).
If this alarm appears less frequently than once a month, you can ignore it. If it appears more frequently, there may be a problem with the network.
You may be able to correct the problem by reloading the LAN adapter driver. If the alarm persists, shut down the server, then run the hardware diagnostics utility provided with the LAN adapter. (If your LAN adapter is the one originally installed on the HP NetServer, the hardware diagnostics utility is on the HP NetServer Navigator CD-ROM.) If the alarm continues, contact your dealer, or HP Customer Service Representative. See your User Guide for more details on technical service and support.
This displayed value represents the total number of packets with transmit errors. The string description displays the adapter that caused the alarm, and a default value against which the current threshold is measured.

This alarm occurs when the LAN adapter cannot detect itself in transmission in a network comprised of mixed cabling (for example, thick and thin ethernet cabling). The string description displays the adapter that caused the alarm, and a default value against which the current threshold is measured. This alarm may indicate a network fault.
The LAN adapter is not connected, or the LAN is not terminated, or there is a bad Media Access Unit (MAU) on the network.

This alarm indicates that the network adapter is out of receive buffers. The displayed value represents the number of times an Event Control Block (ECB) failed to be allocated for a received packet. The string description displays the adapter that caused the alarm, and a default value against which the current threshold is measured. This problem can occur when another network adapter in the system has failed, causing the identified network adapter to assume the full load.
This alarm indicates a performance problem rather than a problem with the LAN.
If this alarm is detected on an HP DeskDirect network adapter card running in Bus Master Mode, it could indicate the number of receive buffers is incorrectly configured in Novell NetWare. Check the NetWare configuration to ensure that the receive buffers are at the recommended setting of 2000.
To determine the problem on a server running Novell NetWare, load MONITOR.NLM from the Novell NetWare console and track resources to identify the NLM that holds the buffers. On servers running Windows NT, the number of buffers is set by the network operating system and is not adjustable. For more information, see the README file for the LAN adapter on the HP NetServer Navigator CD-ROM.
If the alarm continues, contact your dealer, or HP Customer Service Representative. See your User Guide for more details on technical service and support.
The displayed value represents the number of receive buffer overflow errors that have occurred. For each error, one or more packets were not received. The string description displays the adapter that caused the alarm, and a default value against which the current threshold is measured.

A previously installed and configured LAN adapter has been replaced with another type of adapter for which alarms have not been configured. You must reconfigure alarms each time you replace a LAN network adapter. The string description displays the adapter that caused the alarm, and a default value against which the current threshold is measured.
If you replace a previously configured HP LAN adapter with a non-HP LAN adapter, you must also delete the agent configuration file associated with the replaced adapter.
The agent configuration file is located in the same directory in which the HP NetServer SNMP agents are installed. The file appears as NSNICAGT.nnn, where nnn represents the adapter's location in the HP LAN Adapter Information applications list.
You may be able to correct the problem by reloading the LAN adapter driver. If the alarm persists, shut down the server, then run the hardware diagnostics utility provided with the LAN adapter.

The active NIC in a redundancy group or its network link has failed. The standby NIC in the redundancy group has taken over the network operations.
If a failed component is not replaced, the HP NetServer may no longer have any redundant network connection depending on the number of standby NICs available in the redundancy group.
To remedy this situation, first check the cabling link from the failed NIC to the other network components (hub, bridge, or router). Run diagnostics on the failed NIC and replace it, if necessary. If the NIC is not the problem, ensure that the other network components have not failed.
A previously failed NIC in a redundancy group or its network link has become operational again and has gone into a standby mode. If the active NIC in the redundancy group fails, the standby NIC will take over the network operations.
The standby NIC of a redundancy group or its network link has failed.
If a failed component is not replaced, the HP NetServer may no longer have a redundant network connection depending on the number of standby NICs available in the redundancy group.

The active NIC in a redundancy group or its network link has failed and none of the standby NICs are operational.
There is no network connection to the HP NetServer on that network segment.
Please check to make sure the other network components (hub, bridge, or router) are operational. Then check the cabling link from the failed NICs to the other network components (hub, bridge, or router). Run diagnostics on the redundancy group of NICs in the HP NetServer on the failed network, and replace any failed NICs, if necessary.
