View pages, and a message is sent to configured e-mail recipients. LIN
alerts are enabled by default.

(F_Port), or expansion port (E_Port) from the list box. If F_Port or
E_Port is selected, the port will only operate as the port type selected. If
G_Port is selected, the port type is automatically detected and will
operate as an E_Port or F_Port.

Click the Speed field for a port. A Speed drop-down list displays. Choose
1 Gb/sec, 2 Gb/sec, or Negotiate as the desired setting depending on the
speed capability of the device to be plugged into the port. A right-click in
the Speed column will allow selecting from a pop-up menu to set all ports
to 1 Gb/sec, 2 Gb/sec, or Negotiate.
