Ethernet connector

Your server comes with an integrated Ethernet controller.
This controller provides an interface for connecting to
10-Mbps or 100-Mbps networks and provides full-duplex
capability, which enables simultaneous transmission and
reception of data on the Ethernet LAN.
To access the Ethernet connector, connect a Category 3,
4, or 5 unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cable to the RJ-45
connector on the rear of your server. See "I/O connector
locations" on page 72.
Note: The 100BASE-TX Fast Ethernet standard requires
that the cabling in the network be Category 5.
Configuring the Ethernet controller: When you connect
your server to the network, the Ethernet controller
automatically detects the data-transfer rate (10 Mbps or
100 Mbps) on the network and then sets the controller to
operate at the appropriate rate. In addition, if the Ethernet
connector that your server is connected to supports
