v  System  Information 
Select  this  choice  to  view  information  about  the  server.  When  you  make  changes 
through  other  choices  in  the  Configuration/Setup  Utility  program,  some  of  those 
changes  are  reflected  in  the  system  information;  you  cannot  change  settings 
directly  in  the  system  information. 
This  choice  is  on  the  full  Configuration/Setup  Utility  menu  only. 
v  Devices  and  I/O  Ports 
Select  this  choice  to  view  or  change  assignments  for  devices  and  input/output 
(I/O)  ports. 
Select  this  choice  to  enable  or  disable  integrated  Ethernet  controllers  and  all 
standard  ports  (such  as  serial,  USB,  and  parallel).  Enable  is  the  default  setting

operating  system  will  not  be  able  to  detect  it  (this  is  equivalent  to  disconnecting 
the  device).  If  you  disable  the  integrated  Ethernet  controller  and  no  Ethernet 
adapter  is  installed,  the  server  will  have  no  Ethernet  capability.  If  you  disable  the 
integrated  USB  controller,  the  server  will  have  no  USB  capability;  to  maintain 
USB  capability,  make  sure  that  Enabled  is  selected  for  the  USB  Support  and 
USB  2.0  Support  options.
