Configuring the Gigabit Ethernet controllers The Ethernet controllers are integrated on the system board. They provide an interface for 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 on the network. If the Ethernet ports in the server support 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 operate at that rate and mode. You do not have to set any jumpers or configure the controllers. However, you must install a device driver to enable the operating system to address the controllers. For device drivers and information about configuring the Ethernet controllers, see the Intel Ethernet Software CD that comes with the server. To find updated information about configuring the controllers, complete the following steps. Note: Changes are made periodically to the IBM Web site. The actual procedure might vary slightly from what is described in this document. 1. Go to http://www.ibm.com/support/. 2. Under Search technical support, type xSeries 306m, and click Search. 3. In the Additional search terms field, type ethernet, and click Go. Updating IBM Director If you plan to use IBM Director to manage the server, you must check for the latest applicable IBM Director updates and interim fixes. To install the IBM Director updates and any other applicable updates and interim fixes, complete the following steps. Note: Changes are made periodically to the IBM Web site. The actual procedure might vary slightly from what is described in this document. 1. Check for the latest version of IBM Director: a.
