Transfer Rate of the On-board LAN Controller
The LAN controller on the base board has two ports, and another two ports on the I/O riser board. Each port supports
10Base-T, 100Base-TX, and 1000Base-T networks and is capable of full or half duplex.
The controller can automatically detect and switch for network speed and transfer mode connected to the HUB.
However, for proper network operation, specify a "Link Speed & Duplex" value identical to the value specified for the
HUB.
