Configuring the 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.
To find device drivers and information about configuring the Ethernet controllers,
