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.
For
device
drivers
and
information
about
configuring
the
Ethernet
controller,
see
the
Broadcom
NetXtreme
Gigabit
Ethernet
Software
CD
that
comes
with
your
server.

about
configuring
the
controller,

Using
the
Integrated
System
Management
Firmware
Update
Utility
program
To
update
the
firmware
for
the
integrated
system
management
processor
(ISMP),
download
the
Integrated
System
Management
Processor
Update
utility
program
for
your
server
from
the
IBM
Support
Web
site
at
http://www.ibm.com/pc/support/.
Run
the
utility
program
to
create
a
diskette
that
you
can
use
to
update
the
firmware.
The
utility
program
updates
the
integrated
system
management
processor
firmware
only
and
does
not
affect
any
device
drivers.
Complete
the
following
steps
to
update
the
firmware:
1.
Turn
off
the
server.
2.
Insert
the
diskette
into
the
diskette
drive.
3.
Turn
on
the
server.
If
the
server
does
not
start
from
the
diskette,
use
the
Configuration/Setup
Utility
program
to
configure
the
diskette
drive
as
a
startup
device.
(For
more
information,
see
the
information
about
Configuration/Setup
Utility
start
options
in
the
User’s
Guide).
Then,
start
again
at
step
1
of
this
procedure.
4.
From
the
main
menu,
select
Update
System
Management
Firmware
and
press
Enter.
5.
Follow
the
instructions
on
the
screen
to
complete
the
update.
If
there
is
an
error
in
updating
the
firmware,
try
updating
the
firmware
again.

The
integrated
SCSI
controller
with
RAID
capabilities
in
your
server
supports
only
RAID
level-1
and
RAID

Enhanced
(RAID
level-1E).
Installing
an
optional
ServeRAID
controller
provides
additional
RAID
levels.
