Conguring the 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 congure the controllers. However, you must install a device driver to
enable the operating system to address the controllers.

The rmware in the server is periodically updated and is available for download on the Lenovo Support Web
site. Go to http://www.lenovo.com/support to check for the latest level of rmware, such as the BIOS

When you replace a device in the server, you might have to either update the server with the latest version of
the rmware that is stored in memory on the device or restore the pre-existing rmware from a diskette or
CD image.
