Each controller port provides a 1000-Mbps full-duplex interface forconnecting to one of the Ethernet-compatible switch modules in I/O bays 1 and 2,which enables simultaneous transmission and reception of data on the Ethernetlocal area network (LAN).Each Ethernet-controller port on the system board is routed to a different switchmodule in I/O bay 1 or bay 2. The routing from the Ethernet-controller port to theI/O bay varies according to whether an Ethernet adapter is enabled and theoperating system that is installed. See “Blade server Ethernet controllerenumeration” on page 48 for information about how to determine the routing fromthe Ethernet-controller ports to I/O bays for your blade server.Chapter 6.
