Configuring the Gigabit Ethernet controller

The Ethernet controller is integrated on the system board. It provides an interface
for connecting to a 10-Mbps, 100-Mbps, or 1-Gbps network and provides full duplex
(FDX) capability, which enables simultaneous transmission and reception of data on
the network. If the Ethernet port in the computer supports auto-negotiation, the
controller detects the data-transfer rate (10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, or 1000BASE-T)
and duplex mode (full-duplex or half-duplex) of the network and automatically
operates at that rate and mode. The Ethernet controller supports optional modes,
such as teaming, priority packets, load balancing, fault tolerance, and virtual LANs,
which provide better performance, security, and throughput. These modes apply to
the integrated Ethernet controller and to controllers on supported Ethernet adapters.
You do not need 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 your Gigabit Ethernet controller, go
