 5. Add Target. Go back to the General tab, select the adapter to which
you want to add a target and click Add Target. You can connect to a
maximum of eight targets and the adapters must connect to different
targets. Connecting multiple adapters (from the same machine or a
different machine) can result in an unwanted consequence, such as
data loss, target disconnection, system crash (Windows) or an
inability to mount the drives (Linux). A dialog box will appear that
allows you to describe where and how you want to connect to a new
target (router). Enter the new target's IP address and port. If you want
to enable CHAP security, see the Intel PRO/1000 T IP Storage
Adapter User Configuration Guide for details.

NOTE: The adapter software guarantees the ability to connect to as many

as eight targets whose names each consist of a maximum 256
characters. However, some network configurations may allow the
adapter to connect to more than eight targets.

 Basic Troubleshooting
If you cannot link to your switch, try the following suggestions:
• Check the LED lights on the adapter. If the LINK light is not on,
check all connections to the adapter and link partner. Make sure the
link partner is not set to match the adapter (preferably set to auto
negotiation enabled) and the driver is loaded.
• Make sure the cable is installed properly. The network cable must be
securely attached at all connections. If the cable is attached, but the
problem persists, try a different cable.
• Check the Troubleshooting section of the User Configuration Guide
for more information. If an issue continues or is not addressed here,
see the Late-breaking News document on the Intel® PRO/1000 T IP
Storage Adapter CD or check out the Intel support Web site at
