Ethernet port

Your server comes with an integrated Ethernet controller. This controller provides
an interface for connecting to 10-Mbps or 100-Mbps networks and provides
full-duplex (FDX) capability, which enables simultaneous transmission and
reception of data on the Ethernet local area network (LAN).
To access the Ethernet port, connect a Category 3, 4 or 5 unshielded twisted-pair
(UTP) cable to the RJ-45 connector on the rear of your server.
Note: The 100BASE-TX Fast Ethernet standard requires that the cabling in the
Configuring the Ethernet controller
When you connect your server to the network, the Ethernet controller
automatically detects the data-transfer rate (10 Mbps or 100 Mbps) on the network
and then sets the controller to operate at the appropriate rate. That is, the Ethernet
controller will adjust to the network data rate, whether the data rate is standard
Ethernet (10BASE-T), Fast Ethernet (100BASE-TX), half duplex (HDX), or full
duplex (FDX). The controller supports half-duplex (HDX) and full-duplex (FDX)
modes at both speeds.
The Ethernet controller is a PCI Plug and Play device. You do not need to set any
jumpers or configure the controller for your operating system before you use the
Ethernet controller. However, you must install a device driver to enable your
operating system to address the Ethernet controller. The device drivers are
provided on the ServerGuide CDs.
Failover for redundant Ethernet
The IBM Netfinity 10/100 Fault Tolerant Adapter is an optional redundant network
interface card (NIC adapter) that you can install in your server. If you install this
