Enabling the Broadcom Gigabit Ethernet Utility program

The Broadcom Gigabit Ethernet Utility program is part of the server firmware. You
can use it to configure the network as a startable device, and you can customize
where the network startup option appears in the startup sequence. Enable and
disable the Broadcom Gigabit Ethernet Utility program from the Setup utility.

Configuring the Gigabit Ethernet controller

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.
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, see

Address or URL field, type the IP address or host name of the IMM to which
you want to connect.
Note: If you are logging on to the IMM for the first time after installation, the
IMM defaults to DHCP. If a DHCP host is not available, the IMM assigns a
static IP address of 192.168.70.125. The MAC address tag provides the default
hostname of the IMM and does not require you to start the server.
