Gigabit Ethernet Ports
The server has four auto-negotiating 100/1000/10,000BASE-T gigabit Ethernet (GbE) system
domain ports. All four Ethernet ports use a standard RJ-45 connector. The transfer rates are
shown in the following table.
TABLE 16
Ethernet Port Transfer Rates
Connection Type IEEE Terminology Transfer Rate
Fast Ethernet 100BASE-TX 100 Mbps
Gigabit Ethernet 1000BASE-T 1,000 Mbps
10 Gigabit Ethernet 10GBASE-T 10,000 Mbps
The following figure and table describe the 10-GbE port pin signals.
Note - Ethernet ports NET 2 and NET 3 are nonfunctional in single-processor systems.
