Verify NIC Enumeration
As illustrated here, the x3550 M3 Management Server has four onboard NICs:
To verify that the Windows Server NIC Enumeration translates to the proper Physical NIC
Enumeration perform the following steps:
1. Go to Control Panel → Network and Internet → Select Network Sharing Center, then
Change adapter settings. You should see five network connections.
2. Go to the rear of the x3550 system. Take note of which Ethernet port is connected.
Unplug the existing connection. In Network Connections, Refresh the screen and you
should see all connections in the Network cable unplugged state. (Note: Ignore the IBM
USB Remote NDIS Network Device).
3. Take one Ethernet cable and plug it into the NIC that is labeled 1 on the x3550.
