OS Detection
The Chelsio T420 can be detected by the OS

Down load the Uwire software from:
Installation
- Unpack the tar files and run install.py.
tar xzvf ChelsioUwire-2.10.1.0-RHEL6.5-x86_64.tar.gz
./install.py
- Follow the instructions to install the required software (1,1 install all Drivers)
It is important to check the install log. A successful install by the python script does not always mean that - something may have fialed to install.
Check the log for any errors - it will tell you what the problem is. Install any needed packages and re install the Uwire software.
Loading the Driver
Loading in NIC mode (without offload support)
[root@hft1 ~]# modprobe cxgb4Loading in TOE mode (with offload support)
[root@hft1 ~]# modprobe t4_tomDependencies
No dependencies found.
Performance Tunning
The performance tunning could be established by t4_perftune.sh script which will configure Receiver Side Scaling(RSS) and enable Interrupt Coalescing.
[root@hft1 ~]# t4_perftune.sh
