Configuring the Ethernet Controller
Configuring the Ethernet Controller
The Ethernet controller on the system board provides an efficient,
high-speed interface to a 10-Mbps Ethernet network, with automatic
configuration.
The controller provides full-duplex operation (FDX), which allows
simultaneous transmission and reception of data on the Ethernet
LAN.
The controller also provides an automatic sensing function. The
server automatically detects which of the two Ethernet ports is
connected to the network, and then uses that port for
communication. This function, always active, eliminates the need
for a media type parameter and facilitates changing from one media
type to another.
If you need additional Ethernet connectors, you can install an
Ethernet adapter, such as the IBM PCI Ethernet adapter.
Note: If you are installing an IBM PCI Ethernet adapter, be sure to
run the Ethernet diagnostics and record the server's Ethernet
configuration information before you install the adapter.
