Safety Precautions
WARNING: The adapter is being installed in a system that operates with voltages that can be lethal. Before removing your system's cover, observe the following precautions to protect yourself and to prevent damage to the system components.
●
Remove any metallic objects or jewelry from your hands and wrists.
●
Make sure to use only insulated or nonconducting tools.
●
Verify that the system is powered OFF and unplugged before accessing internal components.
●
Installation or removal of adapters must be performed in a static-free environment.
The use of a properly grounded wrist strap or other personal antistatic devices and an antistatic mat is strongly recommended.
Preinstallation Checklist
1. Verify that your computer meets the hardware and software requirements listed under System
.
2. Verify that your system is using the latest BIOS.
3. If your system is active, shut it down.
4. When system shutdown is complete, turn off the power and unplug the power cord.
5. Holding the adapter card by the edges, remove it from its shipping package and place it on an antistatic surface.
6. Check the adapter for visible signs of damage, particularly on the card edge connector. Never attempt to install any damaged adapter.
Installing the Adapter
The following instructions apply to installing the Broadcom 440X Integrated Controller in most systems. Refer to the manuals that were supplied with your system for details about performing these tasks on your particular system.
1. Review the
Pre-Installation Checklist . Before installing the adapter, ensure the
system power is OFF and unplugged from the power outlet, and that proper electrical grounding procedures have been followed.
2. Remove the system cover, and select any empty PCI slot. If you do not know how to identify a
PCI slot, refer to your system documentation.
3. Remove the blank cover-plate from the slot that you selected.
4. Holding the PCI card by the edges, align the adapter’s connector edge with the PCI connector dock in the system.
NOTE: The connector dock in a 32-bit PCI slot is shorter than in a 64-bit PCI slot.
Although the adapter is designed to fit in either slot type, when installed in a 32-bit PCI slot, part of the adapter’s connector edge will remain undocked. This is perfectly normal.
5. Applying even pressure at both corners of the card, push the adapter card until it is firmly seated in the PCI slot. When properly seated, the adapter’s port connectors are aligned with the slot opening, and its faceplate is flush against the system chassis.
CAUTION: Do not use excessive force when seating the card, as this may damage the system or the adapter. If the card resists seating, remove it from the system, realign it, and try again.
6. Secure the adapter with the adapter clip or screw.
7. Replace the system cover and disconnect any personal antistatic devices.
8. Power the system on.
After the system returns to proper operation, the adapter hardware is fully installed. Go to
Connecting the network cables .
Connecting the Network Cables
The adapter has one RJ-45 connector used for attaching the system to an Ethernet copper-wire segment. When automatic link negotiation is disabled, the port can be configured for 10 Mbit/s or 100
Mbit/s, signaling either half-duplex or full-duplex operation.
Perform the following procedure for connecting a network cable to the Broadcom 440X 10/100

802.1p QOS
The 802.1p QOS property enables quality of service, which is an Institute of Electrical and Electronics
Engineering (IEEE) specification that treats different types of network traffic differently to ensure required levels or reliability and latency according to the type of traffic. This property is disabled by default. Unless the network infrastructure supports QoS, do not enable QoS. Otherwise, problems may occur.
Flow Control
The Flow Control property enables or disables the receipt or transmission of PAUSE frames. PAUSE frames enable the network controller and a switch to control the transmit rate. The side that is receiving the PAUSE frame momentarily stops transmitting.
Enable (default). PAUSE frame receipt and transmission is enabled.
Disable. PAUSE frame receipt and transmission are disabled.
Speed & Duplex
The Speed & Duplex property sets the connection speed and mode to that of the network. Note that
Full-Duplex mode allows the controller to transmit and receive network data simultaneously.
10 Mb Full. Sets the speed at 10 Mbit/s and the mode to Full-Duplex.
10 Mb Half. Sets the speed at 10 Mbit/s and the mode to Half-Duplex.
100 Mb Full. Sets the speed at 100 Mbit/s and the mode to Full-Duplex.
100 Mb Half. Sets the speed at 100 Mbit/s and the mode to Half-Duplex.
Auto (default). Sets the speed and mode for optimum network connection
(recommended).
NOTES
●
Auto is the recommended setting. This setting allows the network adapter to dynamically detect the line speed of the network. Whenever the network capability changes, the network adapter automatically detects and adjusts to the new line speed and duplex
● mode.
10 Mb Half and 100 Mb Half settings force the network adapter to connect to the network in Half-Duplex mode. Note that the network adapter may not function if the network is not configured to operate at the same mode.
●
10 Mb Full and 100 Mb Full settings force the network adapter to connect to the network in Full-Duplex mode. The network adapter may not function if the network is not configured to operate at the same mode.
Wake Up Capabilities
The Wake Up Capabilities property enables the network adapter to wake up from a low-power mode when it receives a network wake-up frame. Two types of wake-up frames are possible: Magic Frame and Wake Up Frame.
Both (default) . Selects both Magic Frame and Wake Up Frame as the wake-up frame.
Magic Frame. Selects Magic Frame as the wake-up frame.
None. Selects no wake-up frame.
Wake Up Frame. Selects Wake Up Frame as the wake-up frame and allows the network adapter to wake the system when an event such as a ping or an Address Resolution
Protocol (ARP) request is received.
Network Test
From the Network Test tab, you can verify IP network connectivity. This test verifies if the driver is installed correctly and tests connectivity to a gateway or other specified IP address on the same subnet. The Network test uses TCP/IP. The network test sends ICMP packets to remote systems and waits for a response. If a gateway is configured, the test automatically sends packets to that system.
If a gateway is not configured or if the gateway is unreachable, the test prompts you for a destination
IP address.
Diagnostics
From the Diagnostics tab you can perform diagnostic tests on the physical components of the
Broadcom 440X 10/100 Integrated Controller network adapter. The tests are continuously performed on the selected physical components. The number of passes and fails in the Pass/Fail column increments each time the tests are performed. For example, if a test is performed four times and there are no fails, the value in the Pass/Fail column is 4/0. However, if there were 3 passes and 1 fail, the value in the Pass/Fail column is 3/1.
NOTE: The network connection is temporarily lost when these tests are running.
Control Registers. This test verifies the read and write capabilities of the network adapter registers by writing various values to the registers and verifying the results. The device driver uses these registers to perform network functions such as sending and receiving information. A test failure indicates that the device may not be working properly.
MII Registers. This test verifies the read and write capabilities of the registers of the physical layer (PHY). The physical layer is used to control the electrical signals on the wire and for configuring network speeds such as 1000 Mbit/s.
EEPROM. This test verifies the content of the electrically erasable programmable read-only memory (EEPROM) by reading a portion of the EEPROM and computing the checksum. The test fails if the computed checksum is different from the checksum stored in the EEPROM. An
EEPROM image upgrade does not require a code change for this test.
Internal Memory. This test verifies that the internal memory of the device is functioning properly. The test writes patterned values to the memory and reads back the results. The test fails if an erroneous value is read back. The device cannot function if its internal memory is not functioning properly.
On-Chip CPU. This test verifies the operation of the internal CPUs in the device (not supported for the Broadcom 440X 10/100 Integrated Controller network adapter).
Interrupt. This test verifies that the Network Device Driver Interface Specification (NDIS) driver is able to receive interrupts from the device.
Loopback MAC and Loopback PHY. These tests verify that the NDIS driver is able to send packets to and receive packets from the device.
Test LED. This test causes all of the LEDs to blink 5 times for the purpose of identifying the device.
Statistics
From the Statistics tab, you can view network traffic statistics.
General Statistics

This does not include frames received with frame-too-long, frame check sequence (FCS), length, or alignment errors, or frames lost due to internal MAC sublayer errors. This counter is incremented when the receive status is reported as Receive OK.
Directed Frames Tx. A count of directed data frames that are successfully transmitted.
Multicast Frames Tx. A count of frames that are successfully transmitted (as indicated by the status value Transmit OK) to a group destination address other than a broadcast address.
Broadcast Frames Tx. A count of frames that were successfully transmitted (as indicated by the transmit status Transmit OK) to the broadcast address. Frames transmitted to multicast addresses are not broadcast frames and therefore, are excluded.
Directed Frames Rx. A count of directed data frames that are successfully received.
Multicast Frames Rx. A count of frames that are successfully received and are directed to an active nonbroadcast group address. This does not include frames received with frame-too-long,
FCS, length, or alignment errors, or frames lost due to internal MAC sublayer errors. This counter is incremented as indicated by the Receive OK status.
Broadcast Frames Rx. A count of frames that are successfully received and are directed to a broadcast group address. This count does not include frames received with frame-too-long, FCS, length, or alignment errors, or frames lost due to internal MAC sublayer errors. This counter is incremented as indicated by the Receive OK status.
Frames Rx with CRC Error. The number of frames received with CRC errors.
IEEE 802.3 Statistics
Frames Rx with Alignment Error. A count of the frames that are not an integral number of octets in length and do not pass the FCS check. This counter is incremented when the receive status is reported as Alignment Error.
Frames Tx with one Collision. A count of the frames that are involved in a single collision and are subsequently transmitted successfully. This counter is incremented when the result of a transmission is reported as Transmit OK, and the attempt value is 2.
Frames Tx with more than one Collision. A count of the frames that are involved in more than one collision and are subsequently transmitted successfully. This counter is incremented when the transmit status is reported as Transmit OK, and the value of the attempts variable is greater than 2 and less than or equal to the attempt limit.
Frames Tx after Deferral. A count of the frames that were delayed being transmitted on the first attempt because the medium was busy. The frames involved in any collision are not counted.
Broadcom Boot Agent Driver Software:
Broadcom 440X 10/100 Integrated Controller
User Guide
Overview
The Broadcom 440X 10/100 Integrated Controller supports Preboot eXecution Environment (PXE). PXE is a software module that allows your networked computer to boot with the images provided by remote servers across the network. The Broadcom PXE driver complies with the PXE 2.1 specification and is released with both monolithic and split binary images. This provides flexibility to users on different environments where the motherboard may or may not have built-in base code.
PXE operates in a client/server environment. A network consists of one or more boot servers that provide boot images to multiple computers through the network. Broadcom PXE implementation has been tested successfully in the following environments:
●
Linux® Red Hat® PXE server. Broadcom PXE clients are able to remote-boot and utilize network resources (NFS mount, and so on) and to do Linux installation. In the case of a remote boot, the Linux universal driver binds seamlessly with the Broadcom UNDI (Universal Network
Driver Interface) and provides a network interface in the Linux remote-booted client environment.
●
Microsoft® Windows 2000. Using Windows Remote Installation Services (RIS), Broadcom
PXE clients are able to perform remote installations from the network.
●
Intel® APITEST. The Broadcom PXE driver passes all API compliance test suites.
●
DOS UNDI. Universal NDIS seamlessly binds with Broadcom UNDI to provide NDIS2 interface to the upper-layer protocol stack. This allows computers to connect to network resources in a
DOS environment.
●
Microsoft Windows NT® 4.0 Remote Boot Server
Setting up the Client
1. Select and program the proper PXE image.
2. Enable/disable the PXE driver with the Broadcom DOS utility that is provided.
3. Set up the BIOS for the boot order.
Selecting/Programming the Proper PXE Image
PXE is released with three different images:
b44pxe.lom. This is a monolithic image that consists of both PXE base-code (BC) and UNDI code. This image should be used on the adapter where the motherboard does not have a built-in BC. However, an adapter programmed with this image is still operational in the motherboard's BIOS with built-in BC.
The BC on the adapter is not used.
b44undi.lom. This is an UNDI image that consists of UNDI code only (split implementation). This module should be programmed on the adapter where the motherboard's BIOS has built-in BC.
basecode.lom. This is a BC image that consists of BC code only (split implementation). This module should be programmed on the motherboard's BIOS.
The PXE image can be programmed to the adapter serial EEPROM or the motherboard BIOS LAN on
Motherboard (LOM). For LOM, the PXE image has to be integrated into the OEM BIOS. For the adapter, the PXE image is programmed into the EEPROM during the manufacturing process.
Boot Method
By default, PXE detects if the BIOS supports BBS (BIOS Boot Specification). If the BIOS supports BBS, then PXE uses BBS as the boot method.
PXE Speed
By default, PXE is set to auto-negotiate.
Setup BIOS
To boot from the network with PXE, make PXE the first bootable device under BIOS. This procedure depends on server BIOS implementation. Refer to the server user manual for information.
Setting up the Server
Windows 2000
The current version of Windows 2000 does not include a network driver for the Broadcom 440X 10/100
Integrated Controller. To do remote installation with PXE, include a network driver for the Broadcom
440X 10/100 Integrated Controller as a part of the client installation image on the server. Refer to
Microsoft Knowledge Base Article - 246184, "How to Add Third-Party OEM Network Adapters to RIS
Installations." See also
for details.
DOS UNDI/APITEST
To boot in DOS and connect to a network for the DOS environment, download the Intel® PXE PDK from the Intel website. This PXE PDK comes with a TFTP/ProxyDHCP/Boot server. The PXE PDK can be downloaded from Intel by going to http://www.intel.com/support/network/adapter/pro100/ bootagent/30619.htm
and searching on PXE PDK.
Red Hat Linux
Red Hat® Linux® 8.0 (or later) distribution has PXE server support. It allows users to do a complete
Linux installation over the network. Similarly, Red Hat 8.0 is also distributed with boot images—boot kernel (vmlinux) and initial ram disk (initrd). These images are on the Red Hat CD disk#1:
/images/pxeboot/vmlinux
/images/pxeboot/initrd.img
The initrd.img file distributed with Red Hat 8.0 does not have a Linux network driver for the Broadcom
440X 10/100 Integrated Controller. This version requires a driver disk for drivers that are not part of the standard distribution. You can create a driver disk for the Broadcom 440X 10/100 Integrated
Controller from the image distributed with the Installation CD. Refer to Red Hat documentation for how to install PXE server on Linux.
In this version, it prompts you to insert a driver disk for drivers that are not part of the standard distribution. You can create a driver disk for the Broadcom 440X 10/100 Integrated Controller from the
Red Hat CD-ROM or from the support website. Refer to the Linux Readme.txt file for more information.
A remote boot does not require a standard Linux network driver for the Broadcom 440X 10/100
Integrated Controller. After the PXE client downloads the Linux kernel and initial ram disk, the Linux universal driver that came with the Linux distribution binds with the UNDI code of the PXE to form a
Linux network driver.
Windows NT® 4.0 Remoteboot Server
For instructions on setting up the Windows NT 4.0 Remoteboot Server, refer to Remoteboot (Chapter
15) from the Microsoft TechNet website.

DOS ODI Driver Software: Broadcom 440X
10/100 Integrated Controller User Guide
Installing the Driver Software
Configuring Parameters for the B44.com Driver
The Open Data-Link Interface (ODI) driver software allows LAN drivers to work together irrespective of differences between the hardware and/or the protocol stacks of communicating computers. An intervening layer, called the link support layer (LSL), is responsible for routing different packet types between LAN drivers and protocol stacks.
Installing the Driver Software
Installing the DOS/ODI driver software involves the following steps:
1. Verifying that the DOS 6.22 operating system files are installed on your computer hard disk or are available on a removable storage device.
2. Installing the DOS/ODI driver software in the DOS environment.
3. If necessary, reconfiguring the driver software after installation.
Preinstallation Requirements
1. Verify that the Broadcom Ethernet controller driver software has been installed on your
computer and install it if it has not (see Installing the Driver Software ). Otherwise, you cannot
use a Broadcom Ethernet controller in the DOS environment.
2. Install the DOS 6.22 files on your computer hard disk or have them available on a removable storage device.
Installing the DOS ODI Driver on DOS 6.22
1. Copy the DOS ODI driver file to the root directory of the hard disk.
2. Copy Lsl.com, Ipxodi.com, and Vlm.com to the same directory (these files are provided by
Novell).
3. Edit the Autoexec.bat file by adding the following lines:
C:\LSL
C:\B44
C:\IPXODI
C:\VLM
4. Edit the Net.cfg file and place the file in the same location as the Autoexec.bat file (located in drive C) to configure the driver to bind with different frame types.
Example
LINK DRIVER B44
FRAME ETHERNET_802.2
FRAME ETHERNET_802.3
FRAME ETHERNET_II
FRAME ETHERNET_SNAP
NetWare DOS Requester
FIRST NETWORK DRIVE=F
NETWARE PROTOCOL=NDS BIND
PROTOCOL IPXODI
5. Restart the computer to complete the installation. As the files are being loaded, the computer attempts to attach to a Netware server using the frame types specified in Net.cfg. If the connection is successful, a dialog box is displayed.
6. Change to drive F and log on to the Netware server.
NOTE: The driver loads during system configuration, and the Broadcom banner, the controller name, the MAC address, the IRQ number, the detected line speed, and the BUSNUM and
DEVNUM of the controller are displayed. If the driver fails to load, an initialization fail message is displayed.
Configuring Parameters for the B44.com Driver (in the Net.cfg file)
The following are optional custom keywords used in the Net.cfg file:
BUSNUM
DEVNUM
The keywords BUSNUM and DEVNUM are used concurrently and have been included for manufacturing purposes. Do not use them unless you are familiar with PCI device configuration. These two keywords are needed if multiple Broadcom 440X 10/100 Integrated Controllers are installed on a computer, and each controller must be loaded in a specific order.
BUSNUM specifies the PCI bus number and DEVNUM specifies the device number that is assigned to the board when it is configured by the PCI BIOS.
The values for these adapter parameters are displayed in hexadecimal notation when the driver loads
(the Net.cfg file expects hexadecimal values). A PCI device scan utility can also be used to find this
information. If the driver loads on a single controller, the displayed values can be used in the Net.cfg file.
If a PCI scan utility displays card 1 at bus 4 and device 11 (hexadecimal), and card 3 at bus 3 and device 13 (hexadecimal), the following load instructions are written to the Net.cfg file (load card 3 first, and optionally load card 1 second):
LINK DRIVER B44
BUSNUM 3
DEVNUM 13 (13 hex = 19 decimal)
LINK DRIVER B44
BUSNUM 4
DEVNUM 11 (11 hex = 17 decimal)

Prerequisites
Operating System: MS-DOS 6.22
Software: B44UDIAG.EXE
Diagnostic Test Descriptions
The diagnostic tests are divided into 3 groups: Register Tests, Miscellaneous Tests, and Data Tests.
They are designated Group A, Group B, and Group C, respectively.
Name
Group A: Register Tests
A1. Indirect Control Register Test
Function
A2. Control Register Test
By using an indirect addressing method, the test writes
0s and 1s to the test bits to ensure that the read-only bits are not changed and that the read/write bits are changed.
The test writes 0s and 1s to the test bits to ensure that the read-only bits are not changed and that the read/ write bits are changed.
A3. Interrupt Test
A4. Built-In Self-Test
A5. CAM Test
Verifies the interrupt functionality by enabling interrupt and waiting for interrupts to occur. It waits for 500 ms and reports an error if it cannot generate interrupts.
Runs the built-in self-test.
This test runs the content addressable memory (CAM) read/write test. There are 48-bit patterns written to 64 entries of CAM space. The test reads back the 64 entries and checks them against 6 patterns such as FFFF, 0000,
5555, AAAA, 55AA, AA55.
Group B: Miscellaneous Tests
B1. LED Test This test forces the link state for each link speed/duplex.
B2. EEPROM Test
B3. MII Test
This test reads the serial EEPROM and verifies its integrity by performing a cyclic redundancy check (CRC).
The test writes 0s and 1s to the test bits to ensure that the read-only bits value are not changed and that the read/write bits are changed.
This test reports the current link status.
B4. Link Status Test
Group C: Data Tests
C1. MAC Loopback Test
C2. PHY Loopback Test
This test transmits a 128-byte packet with the incrementing data pattern and checks the TX and RX flags and data integrity.
This test is the same as the MAC Loopback Test, except that the data is routed back through a physical layer device.
C5. PHY Loopback with CAM Enabled Test This test is the same as the PHY Loopback Test with CAM matching enabled.
C8. MIB MAC Loopback Test This test tests each bit in the MIB counters and ensures that the MIB counter bits are incremented when MAC looping a packet.

Troubleshooting Checklist
The following checklist provides recommended actions to take to resolve problems that you may encounter when using the Broadcom 440X 10/100 Integrated Controller.
LAN on Motherboard
1. Inspect all cables and connections. Verify that the cable connections at the network adapter and the switch are attached properly. Verify that the cable length does not exceed the specified maximum (100 meters) and that the cable is the proper type (Category 3, 4, or 5 UTP for
10BASE-T operation, and Category 5 UTP for 100BASE-T operation).
2. Check the properties settings and change them if they are in conflict with another device.
3. Verify that your computer is using the latest BIOS.
Network PCI Card
1. Remove any metallic object or jewelry from your hands and wrists.
2. Ensure to use only insulated or nonconducting tools.
3. Verify that the system is powered OFF and unplugged before accessing internal components.
4. Installation or removal of adapters must be performed in a static-free environment. The use of a properly grounded wrist strap or other personal antistatic devices and an antistatic mat is strongly recommended.
5. Ensure the card is properly seated in a PCI card slot. Check for specific hardware problems, such as obvious damage to board components or the PCI edge connector.
6. Try inserting the adapter in another slot. If the new position works, the original slot in your system may be defective.
7. Replace the failed adapter with one that is known to work properly. If the second adapter works in the slot where the first one failed, the original adapter is probably defective.
8. Install the adapter in another functioning system and run the tests again. If the adapter passed the tests in the new system, the original system may be defective.
9. Remove all other adapters from the system and run the tests again. If the adapter passes the tests, the other adapters may be causing contention.
Checking if Current Drivers are Loaded
Go to Broadcom Advanced Control Suite 2 to view vital adapter information, network status, and network connectivity.
Testing Network Connectivity
Use the ping command to determine if the network connection is working.
NOTE: Network connectivity can also be tested using the Network Test feature in Broadcom
Advanced Control Suite 2.
1. Click Start, and then click Run.
2. Type cmd in the Open box, and then click OK.
3. Type ipconfig /all to view the network connection to be tested.
4. Type ping IP address, and then press ENTER.
The ping statistics that are displayed indicate whether the network connection is working or not.
