Cisco Fast EtherChannel
Fast EtherChannel (FEC) is a performance technology developed by Cisco to increase your server's
throughput. Unlike ALB, FEC can be configured to increase both transmission and reception
channels between your server and switch. FEC works only with FEC-enabled switches, such as the
Catalyst 5000 series. With FEC, as you add adapters to your server, you can group them in teams
to provide up to 800 Mpbs at full duplex, with a maximum of four PRO/100 Intelligent Server
adapters. The FEC software continuously analyzes loading on each adapter and balances network
traffic across the adapters as needed. Adapter teams configured for FEC also provide the benefits
of AFT.
To use FEC, you must have two or four PRO/100 Intelligent Server adapters installed in your
server and linked to the same FEC-enabled Cisco switch.

Keyboard and Mouse

The keyboard/mouse controller is PS/2-compatible. The server may be locked automatically if
there is no keyboard or mouse activity for a predefined length of time, if specified through the
System Setup Utility (SSU). Once the inactivity (lockout) timer has expired, the keyboard and
mouse do not respond until the previously stored password is entered.

ACPI

The STL2 supports the Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) as defined by the
ACPI 1.0 and PC97 specifications. An ACPI aware operating system can put the system into a
state where the hard drives spin down, the system fans stop, and all processing is halted. However,
the power supply will still be on and the processors will still be dissipating some power, so the
power supply fan and processor fans will still run.
The STL2 supports sleep states s0, s1, s4, and s5. With future versions of Microsoft Windows 9X
that support ACPI, the BIOS will only support sleep states s0, s1, and s5. With future versions of
Microsoft Windows NTx that support ACPI, the BIOS will support sleep states s0, s1, s4, and s5.
s0: Normal running state.
s1: Processor sleep state. No context will be lost in this state and the processor caches will
maintain coherency.
s4: Hibernate or Save to Disk: The memory and machine state are saved to disk. Pressing the
power button or other wakeup event will restore the system state from the disk and resume
normal operation. This assumes that no hardware changes have been made to the system while
it was off.
s5: Soft off: Only the RTC section of the PIIX4 and the BMC are running in this state.
CAUTION
The system is off only when the AC power is disconnected.
