Enabling
the
Broadcom
Gigabit
Ethernet
Utility
program
The
Broadcom
Gigabit
Ethernet
Utility
program
is
part
of
the
UEFI
firmware.
You
can
use
it
to
configure
the
network
as
a
startable
device,
and
you
can
customize
where
the
network
startup
option
appears
in
the
startup
sequence.

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.
To
find
updated
information
about
the
controllers,
complete
the
following
steps.
