Configuring

 

the

 

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

 

ports

 

in

 

your

 

server

 

support

 

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

 

need

 

to

 

set

 

any

 

jumpers

 

or

 

configure

 

the

 

controller.

 

However,

 

you

 

must

 

install

 

a

 

device

 

driver

 

to

 

enable

 

the

 

operating

 

system

 

to

 

address

 

the

 

controller.
