Configuring the Ethernet controllerUse this information for instructions on configuring the Ethernet controller.The Emulex BE3 Ethernet controller is integrated on the system board. It providesan interface for connecting to a 1 Gbps or 10 Gbps network and providesfull-duplex (FDX) capability, which enables simultaneous transmission andreception of data on the network. If the Ethernet ports in the server supportauto-negotiation, the controller detects the data-transfer rate (100BASE-T,1000BASE-T, or 10GBASE-T) and duplex mode (full-duplex or half-duplex) of thenetwork and automatically operate at that rate and mode.You do not have to set any jumpers or configure the controller. However, you mustinstall a device driver to enable the operating system to address the controller. Fordevice drivers and information about configuring the Ethernet controller, seehttp://www.ibm.com/supportportal/.Enabling Features on Demand Ethernet softwareThis section provides information about activating the Features on DemandEthernet software key to enable you can use the functions of the software.You can activate the Features on Demand (FoD) software upgrade key for FibreChannel over Ethernet (FCoE) and iSCSI storage protocols that is integrated in theintegrated management module.

Thespecific procedure for configuring arrays depends on the RAID controller that youare using. For details, see the documentation for your RAID controller. To accessthe utility for your RAID controller, complete the following steps:1. Turn on the server.Note: Approximately 10 seconds after the server is connected to ac power, thepower-on button becomes active.2. When prompted, Setup is displayed, press F1. If you have set anadministrator password, you must type the administrator password to accessthe full Setup utility menu. If you do not type the administrator password, alimited Setup utility menu is available.156 System x3750 M4 Types 8722 and 8733: Installation and Service Guide
