Configuring the 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 computer 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. The Ethernet controller supports optional modes,
such as teaming, priority packets, load balancing, fault tolerance, and virtual LANs,
which provide better performance, security, and throughput. These modes apply to
the integrated Ethernet controller and to controllers on supported Ethernet adapters.
You do not need 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 your Gigabit Ethernet controller, go

IBM IntelliStation M Pro Types 6220 and 6230: User's Guide
You can view or change the following controller settings:
– SCSI Controller ID
Select this choice to view the SCSI controller ID, which is typically 7.
– SCSI Controller Termination
This choice is set to Enabled and cannot be changed.
– Boot Device Configuration
Select this choice to configure startable device parameters. You must know
the SCSI ID of the device that you want to configure.
– SCSI Device Configuration
Select this choice to configure SCSI device parameters. You must know the
SCSI ID of the device that you want to configure.
Note: The Maximum Sync Transfer Rate represents the transfer rate for Ultra
SCSI devices.
- The transfer rate for Ultra3 SCSI LVD devices is 160 MBps
- The transfer rate for Ultra2 SCSI LVD devices is 80 MBps
- The transfer rate for Fast SCSI devices is 20 MBps
– Advanced Configuration
Select this choice to view or change the settings for advanced configuration
options.
Select this choice to view the SCSI IDs assignments or to format a SCSI device.
Select a device from the list and read the instructions on the screen carefully
before making a selection.
If you press Ctrl+A before a selected drive is ready, an Unexpected SCSI
Command Failure screen might appear. Restart the computer and watch the
SCSISelect messages as each drive spins up. When the selected drive is ready,
press Ctrl+A.
