Configuring the Gigabit Ethernet controller

One dual-port Gigabit Ethernet controller is integrated on the blade server system
board. Each controller port provides a 1000-Mbps full-duplex interface for
connecting to one of the Ethernet-compatible switch modules in I/O bays 1 and 2,
which enables simultaneous transmission and reception of data on the Ethernet
local area network (LAN). Each Ethernet-controller port on the system board is
routed to a different switch module in I/O bay 1 or bay 2. The routing from the
Ethernet-controller port to the I/O bay will vary according to whether an Ethernet
adapter is enabled and the operating system that is installed. See "Blade server
Ethernet controller enumeration" on page 18 for information about how to determine
the routing from the Ethernet-controller ports to I/O bays for your blade server.

your organization has assigned a user name and password to you. Use the
initial (default) user name and password the first time that you log onto the
management module. If you have an assigned user name and password, use
them for all subsequent logins. All login attempts are documented in the event
log.
