Greetings,
I would like to connect a Windows 2012R2 server and a Windows 7 Pro x64 client with a pair of CX314A boards and a passive copper cable. I have installed the driver with seemingly no difficulties and the boards show up fine in the device managers and network interface GUIs. Ipconfig shows all ports in the list. I have set the mode to ETH on the Mellanox devices in the System device list of the device manager. Everything seems to be correct except I cannot obtain a link, no LEDs light up regardless of what I attempt and all indications in Windows show media disconnected. I highly suspect that I am missing a simple step somewhere. Please find attached the snapshot utility files from both machines.
Thanks for any assistance.
