PC Server 325 - Ethernet controller

Applicable to: World-Wide

Ethernet Controller:
The Ethernet controller on the system board provides an efficient, high-speed interface to a 10-Mbps Ethernet network, with automatic configuration.

The controller provides full-duplex (FDX) operation.

The controller also provides an automatic sensing function. The server automatically detects which of the two Ethernet ports is connected to the network, and then uses that port for communication. This function, always active, eliminates the need for a media type parameter and facilitates changing from one media type to another.

Note:
Before installing an IBM PC Ethernet adapter, be sure to run the Ethernet diagnostics and record the server's Ethernet configuration information.
