Configuring the Ethernet controller

The Emulex BE3 Ethernet controller is integrated on the system board. It provides
an interface for connecting to a 1 Gbps or 10 Gbps network and provides
full-duplex (FDX) capability, which enables simultaneous transmission and
reception of data on the network. If the Ethernet ports in the server support
auto-negotiation, the controller detects the data-transfer rate (100BASE-T,
1000BASE-T, or 10GBASE-T) and duplex mode (full-duplex or half-duplex) of the
network and automatically operate at that rate and mode.
You do not have to set any jumpers or configure the controller. However, you must
install a device driver to enable the operating system to address the controller. For
device drivers and information about configuring the Ethernet controller, see
http://www.ibm.com/supportportal/.

Enabling Features on Demand Ethernet software

You can activate the Features on Demand (FoD) software upgrade key for Fibre
Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) and iSCSI storage protocols that is integrated in the
integrated management module. For more information and instructions for
activating the Features on Demand Ethernet software key, see the IBM Features on
Demand User's Guide. To download the document, go to http://www.ibm.com/
