Menu
program
is
a
built-in,
menu-driven

in
the
Configuration/Setup
Utility
program.
To

that
is
set
in
the
Configuration/Setup
Utility
program.

device,
and
you
can
customize
where
the

Configuring
the
Broadcom
Gigabit
Ethernet
controller
The
Ethernet
controller
is
integrated
on
the
system
board.
It
provides
an
interface
for
connecting
to
a
10
Mbps,
100
Mbps,
or
1
Gbps
network
and
provides
full
duplex
(FDX)
capability,
which
enables
simultaneous
transmission
and
reception
of
data
on
the
network.
If
the
Ethernet
port
in
the
server
supports
auto-negotiation,
the
controller
detects
the
data-transfer
rate
(10BASE-T,
100BASE-TX,
or
1000BASE-T)
and
duplex
mode
(full-duplex
or
half-duplex)
of
the
network
and
automatically
operates
at
that
rate
and
mode.
You
do
not
have
to
set
any
jumpers
or
configure
the
controller.
However,
you
must
install
a
device
driver
to
enable
the
operating
system
to
address
the
controller.
To
find
updated
information
about
configuring
the
controller,
complete
the
following
steps.
Note:
Changes
are
made
periodically
to
the
IBM
Web
site.
The
actual
procedure
might
vary
slightly
from
what
is
described
in
this
document.
