Configuring the Broadcom NetXtreme 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 server 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.
You do not have 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 the Ethernet controller, see the
Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet Software CD that comes with the server. To
find updated information about configuring the controller, complete the following
steps.

LSI Configuration Utility program

Use the LSI Configuration Utility program to configure and manage redundant array
of independent disks (RAID) arrays. Be sure to use these programs as described in
this document.

The integrated SAS/SATA controller with RAID capabilities supports RAID arrays.
You can use the LSI Configuration Utility program to configure RAID 1 (IM), RAID
1E (IME), and RAID 0 (IS) for a single pair of attached devices. If you install a
different type of RAID adapter, follow the instructions in the documentation that
comes with the adapter to view or change SAS settings for attached devices.
