Configuring
the
Gigabit
Ethernet
controller
The
Ethernet
controller
is
integrated
on
the
I/O
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
the
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
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.
Install
the
device
drivers
from
the
Broadcom
NetXtreme
Gigabit
Ethernet
Software
CD
that
comes
with
the
server.
For
information
about
configuring
the
Ethernet
controller,
see
the
Broadcom
NetXtreme
Gigabit
Ethernet
Software
CD
.

the
