BIOS Setup Utilities Option Values: Help Text: View/Configure NIC information and settings. Comments: Selection only. Position to this line and press the key to go to the NIC Configuration group of configuration settings. 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 (TPS) for the board in question. The descriptive names of the Onboard NIC types are:  Intel® 82574 Single-Port Gigabit Ethernet Controller  Intel® I350 Dual-Port Gigabit Ethernet Controller  Intel® I350 Quad-Port Gigabit Ethernet Controller  Intel® I540 Dual-Port X540 10 Gigabit RJ-45 Controller  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:  Intel® I350 Quad-Port Gigabit Ethernet Module  Intel® I540 Dual-Port X540 10 Gigabit RJ-45 Module  Intel® 82599 Dual-Port 10 Gigabit SFP+ Module  Mellanox* ConnectX-3* Single-Port InfiniBand FD14 Module Intel® Server System R2000IP Service Guide 103
