Installing Broadcom NetXtreme II Drivers and TOE
Requirements for TOE
The following hardware and software components are required to use TOE on
your TOE-capable system:
• Broadcom NetXtreme II-based networking device, drivers, and control
suite software.
NOTE:
Currently, Broadcom 10GbE devices do not support TOE.
• Microsoft Windows Server
®
2003 operating system family (32-bit or
64-bit) updated to Service Pack 1 or later.
• Additional if you are running Microsoft Windows Server 2003 with Service
Pack 1:
Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Scalable Networking Pack (SNP)
hotfix. For more information on the SNP hotfix, see Knowledge Base
article 912222 available on the Microsoft support web site.
NOTE:
SNP is already included in Microsoft Windows Server 2003 with
Service Pack 2.
Dell™ PowerEdge™ servers with Broadcom 5708/5709 LOM devices come
standard with TOE enabled. See your system documentation to find out if
your system supports TOE.
Installing, Enabling, and Disabling TOE
If you have not already done so, install the Broadcom driver package by
running the
setup.exe file included in the Broadcom driver package. See
"Installing the Broadcom Drivers in Microsoft
®
Windows
®
" earlier in this
document for more information.
The SNP hotfix is only required for Windows 2003 Service Pack 1. You can
download the hotfix from the Microsoft support web site. To begin the
installation, double-click the hotfix executable file and follow the on-screen
instructions. TOE is enabled by default once all the required components are
installed.
NOTE:
Features of the driver package can be deselected, but you must install the
Broadcom Advanced Control Suite (BACS) application to configure and control TOE
settings.
