Software Dependencies To install the driver software, kernel sources must be installed on the
machine. MLNX_EN driver cannot coexist with OFED software on the same
machine. Hence when installing MLNX_EN all OFED packages should be removed
(done by the mlnx_en install script)
#> tar xzvf mlnx_en-1.5.10.tgz file
#> cd mlnx_en-1.5.10
#> ./install.sh

The package consists of several source RPMs. The install script rebuilds the source RPMs and
then installs the created binary RPMs. The created kernel module binaries are placed under /lib/
modules/<kernel-ver>/updates/kernel/drivers/net/mlx4. mlnx_en installer supports 2 modes of
installation.The install scripts selects the mode of driver installation depending of the running OS/
kernel version.
1. Kernel Module Packaging (KMP) mode, where the source rpm is rebuilt for each installed
flavor of the kernel. This mode is used for RedHat and SUSE distributions.
2. Non KMP installation mode, where the sources are rebuilt with the running kernel. This
mode is used for vanilla kernels.
Note: If the Vanilla kernel is installed as rpm, please use the "--disable-kmp" flag when install-
ing the driver.
The kernel module sources are placed under /usr/src/mellanox-mlnx-en-1.5.10/.Run the following
commands to recompile the driver:
The uninstall and performance tuning scripts are installed.
If the driver was installed without kmp support, the sources would be located under /usr
#> cd /usr/src/mellanox-mlnx-en-1.5.10/
#> scripts/mlnx_en_patch.sh
#> make
#> make install

Try using another cable
Reinstall the drivers for the network driver files may be damaged
or deleted
Reboot the server
Adapters stopped
working after installing
another adapter
Try removing and re-installing all adapters
Check that cables are connected properly
Make sure your motherboard has the latest BIOS
Link indicator light is off

Try another port on the switch
Make sure the cable is securely attached
Check your are using the proper cables that do not exceed the rec-
ommended lengths
Verify that your switch and adapter port are compatible
Link light is on, but with
