Server Utilities Back to [NIC Configuration Screen] - [Advanced Screen] - [Screen Map] 7. NIC Configuration Option Values: Help Text: View/Configure NIC information and settings. Comments: Selection only. Select this line and press the key to go to the NIC Configuration group of configuration settings. Note: This configuration page is not visable on some SKU. Back to [NIC Configuration Screen] - [Advanced Screen] - [Screen Map] NIC Configuration The NIC Configuration screen allows the user to configure the NIC controller options for BIOS POST. It also displays the NIC MAC Addresses currently in use. This NIC Configuration screen handles network controllers built in on the baseboard ("onboard") or installed as an IO Module (IOM). It does not configure or report anything having to do with add-in network adapter cards. To access this screen from the Main screen, select Advanced > PCI Configuration > NIC Configuration. To move to another screen, press the key to return to the PCI Configuration screen, if necessary press the key again to return to the Advanced screen, then select the desired screen. There is usually one Onboard NIC built into the baseboard, although in some cases there are two Onboard NICs. There are several possible types of NICs which are incorporated into different boards. When an InfiniBand controller is on the baseboard, it appears as an Onboard NIC. Most boards in this family also can have an IO Module that installs on the board in a specialized connector. There are boards which can have two IO Modules installed. To determine what type of NIC is installed on a specific board, or what kinds of IO Modules can be supported on which boards, refer to the Technical Product Specification for the board in question. The descriptive names of the Onboard NIC types are: (Note: Codenames FYI only and not part of description to go into Setup.) Intel® I210 Dual-Port Gigabit Ethernet Controller (Springville) 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: Intel® I350 Quad-Port Gigabit Ethernet Module (Powerville 4-port) Intel® I540 Dual-Port X540 10 Gigabit RJ-45 Module (Twinville) Intel® 82599 Dual-Port 10 Gigabit SFP+ Module (Niantic) Intel® 82575EB Dual-Port Gigabit Module (Zoar) 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 Intel® Server System R1000RP Service Guide 89
