Select the new port duplex mode.

The system prompts you for confirmation. The modified ports use the new
duplex mode immediately.

Repeat steps 2 and 3 for additional ports.

Modifying Expansion Card Port Type

To modify the expansion card port type, follow these steps:

Choose Expansion Card Port Type from the Expansion Module Port
Configuration menu.

An Expansion Module Port Type menu similar to that shown in

Figure 6-15

is displayed.
