Set Port 0 {or 1} (Speed) menu

Table 59 on page 102 shows the Set Speed menu items. Use this menu to select from among speeds, or
allow the device to auto-negotiate the port speed for Port 0 or Port 1. An EH7, EH8, 55F, or 60F drive can
operate at all speeds. Auto-negotiate allows the device to choose a faster speed, when available.
