The

 

Ethernet

 

controllers

 

are

 

integrated

 

on

 

the

 

I/O

 

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

 

your

 

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

 

need

 

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

 

 

CD

 

that

 

comes

 

with

 

your

 

server.

 

For

 

updated

 

information

 

about

 

configuring

 

the

 

controllers,

 

go

 

to

 

 

on

 

the

 

World

 

Wide

 

Web.

following

assignments,

 

connectors,
