Integrated network environment support
The server comes with an Ethernet controller on the system board. This Ethernet
controller has an interface for connecting to 10-Mbps or 100-Mbps networks. The
server automatically selects between 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX environments.
The controller provides full-duplex (FDX) capability, which allows simultaneous
transmission and reception of data on the Ethernet local area network (LAN).

IBM ServerGuide™ CDs
The ServerGuide CDs that are included with the server provide programs to help
you set up the server and install the network operating system (NOS). The
ServerGuide program detects the hardware options that are installed, and
provides the correct configuration programs and device drivers. In addition, the
ServerGuide CDs include a variety of application programs for the server.

Reliability, availability, and serviceability
Three of the most important considerations in server design are reliability, availability,
and serviceability (RAS). The RAS factors help to ensure the integrity of the data that
is stored on the server, the availability of the server when it is needed; and the ease
with which problems can be diagnosed and repaired.
