CONFIGURING SYSTEM SETTINGS
System Management on the Configurations tab allow you to view and change the values of the available properties for
the system. The potentially available properties and their respective settings are described below.
Chimney Offload State. Enables TCP Offload Engine (TOE) for the entire system. On Windows Server 2008 operating
systems, the options are Enable (default) and Disable. For Windows Server 2008 R2, the options are Enable, Disable, and
Auto (default). If Chimney Offload State is configured for Auto, then a 10 Gbps network adapter will have TOE enabled, but
not for a 1 Gbps network adapter.
To enable TOE for individual network adapters, configure Chimney Offload State to Enable and also enable TCP Connection
Offload (IPv4) or TCP Connection Offload (IPv6) from the Advanced area of the Configuration tab.
