By default the server has enabled Ethernet 1 and Ethernet 2. Ethernet 3 and Ethernet 4 can be enabled
by the Features on Demand (FoD). Please note that the server may need to be restarted to activate the
feature. Meanwhile, when switching from dedicated mode (Ethernet 2) to shared mode (Ethernet 1), followed
by the activation of Ethernet 3 and Ethernet 4 via the Features on Demand (FoD) or vice versa, remember
to first unplug and subsequently plug back the power cable or cables to the server (power cycle). For
more information on Features on Demand (FoD), including instructions for automating the activation and
installation of the activation key by using ToolsCenter or Lenovo Director, see the Lenovo System x Features
on Demand User's Guide at https://fod.lenovo.com/lkms under the Help section.

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
