Configuring the Gigabit Ethernet controller

The Ethernet controller is integrated on the system board. It provides an interface
for connecting to a 10-Mbps, 100-Mbps, or 1000-Mbps network and provides full
duplex (FDX) capability, which enables simultaneous transmission and reception of
data on the network. If the Ethernet port in the computer supports auto-negotiation,
the controller detects the data-transfer rate of the network (10BASE-T,
100BASE-TX, or 1000BASE-T) and automatically operates at that rate, in
full-duplex or half-duplex mode, as appropriate. The Ethernet controller supports
optional modes, such as teaming, priority packets, load balancing, fault tolerance,
and virtual LANs, which provide better performance, security, and throughput. These
modes apply to the integrated Ethernet controller and to controllers on supported
Ethernet adapters.
You do not need to set any jumpers or configure the controller. However, you must
install a device driver to enable the operating system to address the controller. The
device drivers are available on the Device Drivers and IBM Enhanced Diagnostics
CD. For the latest device drivers and information about configuring your Ethernet
controller, go to the IBM Support Web site at http://www.ibm.com/pc/support.
