equivalence of the two types of Ethernet, mixed Ethernet and Fast Ethernet systems also can be designed and implemented. The bandwidth required at each workstation connected to a server is generally far less than the bandwidth required at the server. This is because the server might have to handle the bandwidth of multiple workstations at the same time. A cost-effective solution to the bandwidth requirements of this type of system is a mixed Ethernet and Fast Ethernet network. This mixed network consists of standard Ethernet connections at the workstations and Fast Ethernet connections at the servers. The Ethernet controller is a PCI device, and is therefore a Plug and Play device. You do not have to set any jumpers or configure the controller for the operating system before you use the Ethernet controller. Notes 1. For information on Ethernet indicators, see "Controls and indicators" on page 81. 2. For information on the Ethernet connector, see "Input/Output connectors" on page 94 and "Ethernet connector" on page 159. 3. For troubleshooting information, see "Troubleshooting the 10/100 Mbps Ethernet Controller" on page 40. 4. The Ethernet controller supports the operating systems that the server supports. To find out which operating systems the server supports, go to the following World Wide Web address: http://www.ibm.com/pc/us/netfinity/ If you need additional Ethernet connections, you can install an Ethernet adapter, such as an IBM 10/100 Ethernet adapter. Review the network-adapter documentation for any additional configuration requirements. Note If you are installing an IBM 10/100 Ethernet adapter, be sure to run the Ethernet controller diagnostics and record the server's Ethernet controller configuration information before you install the adapter.
