Configuring the Ethernet controllers

The Ethernet controllers are integrated on the system board. They provide an interface for connecting to a 10
Mbps, 100 Mbps, or 1000 Mbps network and provide full-duplex (FDX) capability, which enables
simultaneous transmission and reception of data on the network.
You do not have to set any jumpers or configure the Ethernet controllers. However, it is better to install the
latest device driver for best performance.
