Configuring The Gigabit Ethernet Controller; Configuring Raid Arrays - Lenovo x3650 M4 BD 5466 Installation And Service Manual

Configuring the Gigabit Ethernet controller

Use this information to configure the Ethernet controller.
The Ethernet controllers are integrated on the system board. They provide an interface for connecting
to a 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, or 1 Gbps network and provide 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 controllers detect the data-transfer rate (10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, or 1000BASE-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 controllers. However, you must install a device driver
to enable the operating system to address the controllers. For device drivers and information about
configuring the Ethernet controllers or to find updated information about configuring the controllers, see
http://www.lenovo.com/support.

Configuring RAID arrays

Use the Setup utility to configure RAID.
Use the configuration utility programs to configure and manage redundant array of independent disks (RAID)
arrays. Be sure to use this program as described in this document.
The following table lists the different server configurations and the applications that are available for
configuring and managing RAID.

3. For further details on creating a software RAID array of hard disk drives, please see the ServeRAID C105
documentation at http://www-947.ibm.com/support/entry/portal/docdisplay?lndocid=MIGR-5089068.
4. When the ServeRAID adapter is removed, software RAID will not be supported. This system does not
support downgrade software RAID function from hardware RAID configuration.
