Setting the mode of the Ethernet connectors

There are three RJ-45 Ethernet connectors on the rear of the server. The Ethernet connector 0 is for system
management by default. However, you also can set the Ethernet connector 1 or 2 for system management
use. You also can install an operating system through the system-management connector. To locate the
three Ethernet connectors, see “Rear view of the server” on page 23.

If you set one of the Ethernet connectors for system management, the other two Ethernet connectors can be
teamed. If two Ethernet connectors are teamed, the teamed connection speed will be the same with the
lower connection speed of the two Ethernet connectors.
