It provides an interfacefor connecting to a 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, or 1 Gbps network and provide full-duplex(FDX) capability, which enables simultaneous transmission and reception of data onthe network. If the Ethernet ports in the server support auto-negotiation, thecontrollers detect the data-transfer rate (10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, or 1000BASE-T)and duplex mode (full-duplex or half-duplex) of the network and automaticallyoperate 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 controllers. Fordevice drivers and information about configuring the Ethernet controller, see theBroadcom NetXtreme II Gigabit Ethernet Software CD that comes with the server.To find updated information about configuring the controller, complete the followingsteps.66 IBM System x3350 Types 4192 and 4193: User’s Guide
