Installing new network card...how?

The built in ethernet on my computer does not appear to be working. How do I get the Mac to see a new network card once i plug it into the board? Same for a sound card. I know that the built in sound is bad.
I have extensive knowledge of these processes for a PC, but not at all for a Mac. A PC will automatically detect new hardware, but the Mac doesn't appear to see it.
Thanks for any help.

There aren't a lot of PCI Ethernet cards supported natively in OS X, and even then those that are usually still need a driver installed for them to function. D-Link is the only one I know off-hand that markets a 10/100 card billed as Mac-compatible. A Mac-compatible generic sound card will be even harder to track down.. the only ones I know of are very expensive ones aimed at digital audio production.

Installing New network card on a Cisco Catalyst 6500 VSS mode

Hi All.
I need to install a new network card on Cisco Catalyst 6500 VSS mode, I need to follow any special procedures or is it only insert the new card and the Catalyst automatically recognizes the card?
Thank you So mucho.

Hi,
Just insert the blade and the switch should recognize it. For the 6500 series the blades are hot swap able.

New network card caused: Error Codes: OAMP2OPY:GIQKCQ7V

after installing a network card in my OBIEE 11g server
I get this error:
Error
View Display Error
Error generating view. Error getting cursor in GenerateHead
Error Details
Error Codes: OAMP2OPY:GIQKCQ7V
Too many running queries. Server is too busy to process any more queries at this time.
the server can still connect to the database..
the IP address has not changed..
how do I fix this?

Metalink ID 1462776.1
1. The Oracle Database instance is configured by default to run only 150 PROCESSES;
the maximum load for dedicated connections is determined by the PROCESSES parameter.
When the listener believes the current number of connections has reached maximum load, it may set the state of the
service handler for an instance to "blocked" and begin refusing incoming client connections with the following error (in biserver1.log set in debug level):
"TNS-12516 TNS:listener could not find instance with matching protocol stack"
Tip:
Verify the Oracle database processes parameter setting. It is also a good idea to make sure the Oracle database sessions and open cursors settings are large enough.
2. Increase the number of concurrent client connections (sessions) to OBI server.
Each client request to OBI Server uses one SERVER_THREAD.
Each SERVER_THREAD uses 0 or more DB_GATEWAY_THREADs depending upon the number of DB queries executed.
Following NQSConfig.INI parameters need to be tuned (refer to OBIEE tuning guide for details on initial values to be set):
[ SERVER ]
MAX_SESSION_LIMIT
SERVER_THREAD_RANGE
DB_GATEWAY_THREAD_RANGE
3. Cleanup Web catalog via instanceconfig.xml using the steps documented in "Validating the Catalog" in System Administrator's Guide for Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition.
4. In instanceconfig.xml file for each instance, add the following parameters within Cache/Query tags:
<Cache>
<Query>
<MaxEntries>10000</MaxEntries>
<AbsoluteMaxEntries>20000</AbsoluteMaxEntries>
<CruiseEntries>3000</CruiseEntries>
<ForceLRU>true</ForceLRU>
</Query>
</Cache>
5. Make sure you have enough system resources available on BI Servers (sawserver, nqsserver).
6. Unstable network connection link between OBIEE servers and Database server.

New network card

I want to change network cards. Is is possible to change the network card without going through the install process? I would like very much to retain the other contents of the disk. Any suggestions?

I hope you don't mean redo the "whole 3-CD" deal! (I did that twice till I found the right docs).
I read to use "touch /reconfig ; shutdown -g0 -y -i 0" when a new network card is installed. When I boot the file is gone - so I think that is supposed to be, well, less destructive than "sys-unconfig".
There's allways "sys-unconfig ; boot -r" (on my machine booting was automotic!). It doesn't do everything but it will let you re-do the network config screens (it returns mny items to "factory default" state). Better read the manpage first though! It might "factory default" something you've setup!

Based on the specs for your HP Pavilion p6-2160eo Desktop Computer, this model has 1 PCI Express x16 (Gen2.0), 3 PCI Express x1 (Gen2.0) and, 1 PCI Express Mini Card x1slots. This model also has a 300 watt power supply which will limit your choice of retail graphics unless it is replaced with a more powerfull unit.

Problem with installing new line card 7600-SSC-400

Hi all,
I have a trouble when trying to install new line card 7600-SSC-400 on Cisco 6509. Here was the message displays on the screen after I finished installing the line card : "%C6KPWR-SP-4-UNSUPPORTED: unsupported module in slot 7, power not allowed: The image for the card is not bundled in image." I tried to install this line card on another slot, but it doesn't work. The attched item is logfile which I saved in the installing session. I don't know what I hvae to do now, please help me to resolve this problem !
Thanks so much,
Hieu

Hi Hieu,
You might want to run the following to see more detail of the error:
show diagnostic result module all detail
And I would also suggest that you reseat the 7600-SSC-400 line card firmly back to the switch, and check the status again.
If it's still showing the error, maybe you can try seating the module on a different slot, and check if you have the same issue.
If the issue still persist after reseating and testing it on different slot, then it might be a hardware issue, and you might want to open a TAC case to further investigate it.
Hope that helps.

No Signal after installing new graphics card

Hello and thanks in advance for your help!
We have a 2yr old HP p6540y. It has an ATI integrated Video Card. When we recently turned it on, we got a 'no signal' message on the monitor and then it would go to sleep. We have tried several things to fix...listed below, in order, and are still getting the same message. Please advise!
1) No Signal: DVI, VGA, HDMI. So we unplugged and restarted, no change.
2) Checked monitor and DVI & VGA cords with another computer: They all work.
3) Installed new Graphics Card: NVIDIA GEForce GT 610. Still got same 'no signal' message.
4) We plugged/unplugged all other cards/cords/anything we could and cleaned out. Then, finally, the monitor turned on! But not for long....
5) After restarting computer after installation of graphics card driver, we got the 'no signal' message again. We once again, pulled out other cards/plugs and again the monitor/computer came to life.
6) We unistalled the integrated ATI graphic card. When we go to Display, Advanced Options, it lists our new NVIDIA as graphic/display card.
7) We turned computer off overnight and this morning when we turned on, we once agin got the 'no signal' message. We unplugged/plugged computer in several times. Also tried the trick with pulling out cards/plugs and we got nothing. No Signal. After doing this several times (about 10), it finally worked again.
8) We changed sleep settings to: Screensaver=Never; Sleep Mode=Never.
9) We restarted again to once again get no signal message.
So...what do we need to do?
Thanks so much!

How to install a network card on Solaris 10

Hi to all,
I have installed for the first time Solaris 10 on i386 system.
All went fine. Although Solaris did not found the PCI network card, is this normal?
How can I install the (Realtek) network card;
Thank you.
Costas.
Edited by: tritsako on Feb 9, 2009 11:33 AM

Thank you Zettabyte!!
Folks, network printers should NOT BE configured like this:
lpadmin -p somequeue -s someprinter
that creates a remote style queue and puts all the I/O and processing capability on the basic LPD listener present on network printer interfaces. This will cause problems down the road, not to mention that you cannot control access, get any logging, filter content, or control banner pages.
Network printers should use any software (or PPD file) supplied by the vendor over the basic lpadmin/netstandard config.
You can install CUPS, but Oracle won't support it until it's part of the OS (S11, apparently).
The "System Administration Guide: Solaris Printing" is highly recommended for those administering printers on Solaris.

How to install new graphics card

Hi everyone. I have an intel mac pro and i want to install my pci express ati xtx 1900 card into it. It fits in the slot nice and snug but requires the 6 pin power cable to run the card. I have no idea where this is inside the mac and need help getting my new graphics card to work. i know this card works on a mac so how to i do this. please, please someone help. thank you

If you click on the "manuals" from the small strip above, then click on Desktop -> Mac Pro ->
http://www.apple.com/support/manuals/macpro/
There is a pdf. You should also have a small booklet that came with the Pro, and I am surprised the card doesn't come from Apple with a guide and photos.

How to install new graphic card?

I would like to try to upgrade my graphic card (currently have a GeForce 7300) to run newer games on my pc, but have never opened the back of a computer before. I was hoping someone might be able to help. Is it as easy as just removing the old card and installing the new one?
I was thinking of replacing it with a Geforce 9500 or 9600. My computer has an AMD 6400 dual processor 2.80 ghz with 2 GBs of RAM so the new graphics card should fit, right?
Much thanks for any thoughts and advice.

Yep just remove and replace. Just make sure its the correct type (AGP, PCI-e, etc) thats already in there.
The instructions with the card are pretty simple.
1. unplug computer and remove all cords.
2. lay computer on table.
3. unscrew case screws and slide cover (side cover or whole cover depending on make) off.
4. lay computer on side so you can see the mother board.
5. touch metal chassis before touching any component.
6. unscrew screw that holds the part of the vid card at the back slots.
7. unplug any cable to the vid card.
8. theres a latch that needs to be unlocked before removing card. unlock it (usually slides to the front of the computer, dont force anything)
9. pull vid card straight out.
install new card in reversed order. Make sure you install the new cards software/drivers according to instructions.

Installing RT2500 Network Card

I need to install a driver for my RT2500 PCI wireless network card on my Solaris 10.
So I went to the ralink website (the manufacturer of the network card), and downloaded the linux (well supposedly the unix driver) binary file. Burned it to dvd, and copied from the dvd to my solaris computer.
So on the solaris computer, the *.tar.gz file (the binary driver file that I downloaded) is currently in root directory ('cause it's convenient to keep it there for now).
Now how do I install it and configure it? I have tried googling... I haven't found much information that I can understand and confidently execute. I'm sorry, but I'm new to using Unix system. All the tar.gz file is new and I don't know what to do with them.
And even if I have installed it, I am yet to configure it I believe, so I would need help on that. Could someone help me?
Thank you in advance.

I went to the opensolaris.org website and downloaded their supplied driver (from http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/laptop/wireless/ral/;jsessionid=D8C7920F852AE510DEC1EC4D801B719C)
I placed the download into my root directory. (I am completely new to solaris, I don't even know which files should be where on the file system. So I place the download in the general area - the root directory.)
I could gunzip it with the command: gzip -d <filename>Then I untar it with: tar -xvf <filename>And then unpackage it with opensolaris suggested command: pkgadd -d . SUNWralAll these process were successful.
When I followed the next command: ifconfig ral0 plumbIt said: ifconfig: plumb: ral0: no such interfaceSo I am guessing ral0 is a variable. How do I know or find out what the variable is to substitute into that command?
I did notice that at the botom right hand corner of my Java Desktop there is a network icon. When I put my mouse over it, it says: Network Connection: lo0Is this the variable I am looking for to substitute where ral0 is?
I tried that with command: ifconfig lo0 plumbNo errors, it just returns to a new prompt. I guess that works.
But where to from here?
This is my situation. I have a RT2500 wireless pci network card. I want to connect to the home router so I can access to the internet. I have necessary networking details on the router such as: DNS, subnet mask and etc...
I manage to get a driver off opensolaris and installed it.
1. Now, how do I configure my solaris system to connect to the home router such that I have access to the internet?
2. Where should I put the installation files? Maybe somewhere in /etc or /dev ? I have no idea. But it doesn't feel right putting it in the root directory.
Note that I am only a native window user. I need quite detail instructions otherwise, I will still be clueless and stuck with the problem.
If I don't have help to set up my network card and acces to the internet, I might as well format all of solaris.
Thank you in advance.

Help with installing new graphics card

Hi I have a 3 year old hpe575a (hp pavillion)
Intel i7 2600, 8gb ram
Orginally had a ati hd radeon 2gb (not sure what model)
in it
after 2 years the radeon finally melted ( always had overheating problems in the australian summer )
so I bought a nvidia gtx630m which had the same connections and power requirements and connections as the radeon
I csnt seem to get it working, despite the card powering up, and loading the splash screen it doesnt go any further, I can get to the network boot screen or the hp splash screen but no further, and I cant find any bios updates for my mptherboard (pegatron) so do I need a new motherboard? The computer works 100% fine without the new graphics card
Should I get a new motherboard. Or graphics card? which would be cheaper? or is there someway to get the current system to work with the new graphics card? thanks -zac

Hi,
The existing card is an "AMD Radeon HD6570 (2 GB)". I don't know how you can fit a Nvidia GTX630M to your machine because this card is for laptop:
     http://www.geforce.com/hardware/notebook-gpus/geforce-gt-630m/specifications
Probably you are talking about the following card:
    http://www.geforce.com/hardware/desktop-gpus/geforce-gt-630/specifications
The card should be able to use 300W PSU on your machine (no need new PSU). My suggestion:
(a) Update BIOS to the latest one, please check, should be "Version7.15 Rev. A" the motherboard is Cleveland
     http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=cp-101150-1&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en...
(b) Install driver for new card
Hope this helps.

MS-6714 trying to install new video card

Well, I have done everything I can think of short of sledgehammering my computer into oblivion. Just bought this comp it is a 2.8 celeron using the 6714. Thought I could just stick a new video card in. It recogzines the video card, but will not use it. Even when I disable the on board through the device manager. It just uses generic vga drivers. Any clue how I can get this card to be used?

Hi,
Which 6714 are you using???
Check link:
http://www.msi.com.tw/program/search/ser/SerConProRes.php?keyword=6714&kind=1
Also,
1)have you disabled the ONBOARD graphics in the BIOS???
2)which video card you trying to install and which version of drivers?
3)what PSU do you have and model number?
Every single piece of info you give, shortens the answer/solution time...

INstalling new sound card on HP Pavilion a1029_uk

Hi
Due to the issues raised in my other thread
http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Desktop-PC-Sound-and-Audio/Suddenly-no-sound/td-p/607655
I've gone and bought separate sound card (not from HP admittedly) but can't get it to install as the install software keeps crashing.
Could it be that I've not totally got rid of the on board motherboard sound chips (that no longer work) are somehow interfering in the process.
I've tried to do the install both with the and without disabling the on board audio in the BIOS settings (turning this off does seem to remove everything including Sound Manager, volume control etc) but it makes no difference.
Do I need to leave this one but remove sound manager and the device drivers manually and if so, how do I do this as Sound Manager isn't included in the "Add / Remove Software" list.
So the question is: Is it possible to totally remove all systems access to the on board sound set, so I can use a PCI sound card instead.
Technical stuff.
HP Pavilion Model: a1029.uk...
Windows XP (SP3)
(not working) on board sound : Integrated High Definition audio Realtek ALC 880 chipset 8-channels for Full Dolby 5.1/6.1/7.1 surround sound support with Dolby Pro Logic IIx
Trying to install Sweex SC002 5.1 PCI Sound Card
http://www.sweex.com/en/assortiment/sound-vision/sound-cards/SC002/

Just to let everyone know I've solved this one.
It seems part of the new sound cards that hooks around the back of the PC to hold it in place is slightly too short, and/or the wrong shape, so when you put on the plate on my HP Pavillion that holds all the PCI cards in place, this pulls the soundcard slightly out of it's slot, up at the opposite end with the smaller pins so although the computer can detect there's a PCI card there, it can't tell what it is.
If I leave this plate off, and allow the hook around part to hang free, the card works.

Error when installing new wifi card. g50-70

Tired of having a crappy Realtek based wifi card I bought an Intel 7260 AC card as I'm upgrading my home network.
However when I install this industry standard m.2 card into it's industry standard m.2 slot and reboot.
I then get an Unauthorized Network Card message.
How do I fix this error message? It's just absurd.
