Configuring 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.
To find device drivers and information about configuring the Ethernet controllers, go to
