Using the baseboard management controller

The baseboard management controller provides basic environmental monitoring
functions for the server. If an environmental condition exceeds a threshold or if a
system component fails, the baseboard management controller lights LEDs to help
you diagnose the problem and also records the error in the BMC system event log.

Configuring the Gigabit Ethernet controllers

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.
Note: The Ethernet controller for Ethernet connector 1 supports Serial over LAN
(SOL).
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, see the
Broadcom NetXtreme II Gigabit Ethernet Software CD that comes with the server.
To find updated information about configuring the controllers, complete the following
steps.
