Configuring the Ethernet Controller



Configuring the Ethernet Controller

The 10/100 Mbps Ethernet controller on the system board provides an efficient, high-speed interface to an Ethernet network. The controller dynamically detects the transmission speed of the network traffic, and automatically adjusts conditions for full-duplex or half duplex operation. You can configure the Ethernet controller to remotely wake up or power up computers in the network for administrative and maintenance tasks. For example, you can install and update software at night, minimizing the inconvenience to users on the network.

If you need additional Ethernet connectors, you can install an Ethernet adapter, such as the IBM PCI Ethernet adapter. Refer to the documentation that comes with the adapter for configuration information.

NOTE: If you are installing an IBM PCI Ethernet adapter, be sure to run the Ethernet diagnostics and record the server's Ethernet configuration information before you install the adapter.
