Configuring System Settings

System Management on the Configurations tab allow you to view and change the values of the available properties for the system. The potentially
available properties and their respective settings are described below.
Chimney Offload State
Enables TCP Offload Engine (TOE) for the entire system. On Windows Server 2003 and Windows Server 2008 operating systems, the options are Enable
(default) and Disable. For Windows Server 2008 R2, the options are Enable, Disable, and Auto (default). If Chimney Offload State is configured for Auto,
then a 10 Gbps network adapter will have TOE enabled, but not for a 1 Gbps network adapter.
To enable TOE for individual network adapters, configure Chimney Offload State to Enable and also enable TCP Connection Offload (IPv4) or TCP
Connection Offload (IPv6) from the Advanced area of the Configuration tab.
