Configuring the Gigabit Ethernet controller
The Ethernet controllers are integrated on the system board. They provide an
interface for connecting to a 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, or 1 Gbps network and provide
full-duplex (FDX) capability, which enables simultaneous transmission and reception
of data on the network. If the Ethernet ports in the server support auto-negotiation,
the controllers detect the data-transfer rate (10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, or
1000BASE-T) and duplex mode (full-duplex or half-duplex) of the network and
automatically operate at that rate and mode.
You do not have to set any jumpers or configure the controllers. However, you must
install a device driver to enable the operating system to address the controllers.
Important: Some cluster solutions require specific code levels or coordinated code
updates. If the device is part of a cluster solution, verify that the latest level of code
is supported for the cluster solution before you update the code.
To find device drivers and information about configuring the Ethernet controllers,
complete the following steps:
1. Go to http://www.ibm.com/systems/support/.
2. Under Product support, click System x.
3. Under Popular links, click Software and device drivers.
4. From the Product family menu, select System x3630 M3 and click Go.
Notes:
1. The integrated Ethernet controllers on the system board do not support Intel I/O
Acceleration Technology (I/OAT).
2. Changes are made periodically to the IBM Web site. The actual procedure might
vary slightly from what is described in this document.
Enabling and configuring Serial over LAN (SOL)
Establish a Serial over LAN (SOL) connection to manage servers from a remote
location. You can remotely view and change the BIOS settings, restart the server,
identify the server, and perform other management functions. Any standard Telnet
client application can access the SOL connection.
To enable and configure the server for SOL, you must update and configure the
UEFI code; update and configure the integrated management module (IMM)
firmware; update and configure the Ethernet controller firmware; and enable the
operating system for an SOL connection.
UEFI update and configuration
To update and configure the UEFI code to enable SOL, complete the following
steps:
1. Update the UEFI code:
a. Download the latest version of the UEFI code from http://www.ibm.com/
systems/support/.
