Configuring the Broadcom Gigabit Ethernet controller
The Ethernet controllers are integrated on the system board. They 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 the server supports
auto-negotiation, the controllers detect 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
controllers, complete the following steps.
