Intel® Server Board S2600GZ/GL TPS BIOS Setup Utility 2. Intel® I350 Dual-Port Gigabit Ethernet Controller 3. Intel® I350 Quad-Port Gigabit Ethernet Controller 4. Intel® I540 Dual-Port X540 10 Gigabit RJ-45 Controller 5. Mellanox* ConnectX-3* Single-Port Infiniband* FD14 Controller For boards with only one Onboard NIC, the "Onboard NIC2" entries are not present on the screen. The number of "Port" options which are displayed for each NIC will match the number of ports the Onboard NIC presents. The IO Modules currently available are: 1. Intel® I350 Quad-Port Gigabit Ethernet Module 2. Intel® I540 Dual-Port X540 10 Gigabit RJ-45 Module 3. Intel® 82599 Dual-Port 10 Gigabit SFP+ Module 4. Mellanox* ConnectX-3* Single-Port Infiniband* FD14 Module For the IO Module entries on the NIC Configuration screen, only entries for modules which are currently installed will appear, and only ports which exist on those IO Modules will appear. If an IO Module which had been installed is no longer installed when the system is booted, all NIC Configuration entries which are specific to that IO Module will be reset to their default values and hidden. If a different IO Module is installed than had been previously installed, the module-specific settings will still be returned to defaults, but not hidden. This will not necessarily affect the Option ROM settings, which depend on the aggregate capabilities of all installed Onboard and IO Module NICs. For each NIC port which is present on an Onboard NIC or IO Module other than Infiniband* controllers, there will be a port-specific PXE Boot enabling option and a MAC Address display. Onboard NICs and NIC ports also have enable/disable options. IO Modules and the ports on them cannot be disabled by BIOS. Infiniband* controllers which appear as Onboard NICs or as IO Modules have a slightly different format. They do not have enable/disable options, but they do have a choice of whether to enable loading and executing the embedded Option ROM for the controller, which will cause it to become bootable. For Infiniband*, both a GUID and a MAC Address are displayed. The GUID is used for Infiniband* Fabric operations, and the MAC Address is used when the controller is attached as an Ethernet device. For non-Infiniband* NICs, there are different OPROMs for different protocols, which are also differentiated by speed, 1 Gb or 10 Gb. For a given protocol/speed, all Ethernet controllers of the same speed use the same Option ROM. PXE - there are two separate PXE Option ROMs, one for 1 Gb NICs and another for 10 Gb NICs. The two are independent of each other, but each must be the only Option ROM enabled in its speed class. If 1 GbE PXE is enabled, then the discs OPROM cannot be enabled. If 10 GbE PXE is enabled, then neither discs nor 10 GbE FCoE may be enabled. discs - there is only one discs Option ROM for both 1 GbE and 10 GbE NICs. If discs is enabled, then neither PXE nor FCoE OPROMs may be enabled for the 1 GbE or 10 GbE NICs. Revision 1.1 149 Intel order number G24881-004
