Using the Boot Menu program
The Boot Menu program is a built-in, menu-driven configuration utility program that
you can use to temporarily redefine the first startup device without changing
settings in the Configuration/Setup Utility program.
Complete the following steps to use the Boot Menu program:
1. Turn off the server.
2. Restart the server.
3. Press F12.
4. Select the startup device.
The server returns to the startup sequence that is set in the Configuration/Setup
Utility program the next time the server starts or after the temporary settings expire.
Configuring the Ethernet controllers
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 Gigabit Ethernet Software CD that comes with the server. For
updated information about configuring the controllers, go to
