Comments: Information only. This is a display showing which Network Controllers
on IO Modules are installed on the baseboard. Each of these IO Module NICs will be followed by
a section including a group of options that are specific to the type of NIC, either as an Ethernet
controller or an InfiniBand* controller.
This descriptive screen image shows an example of an InifiniBand controller as IOM1. In a
system with two IO Module connectors, an InfiniBand* IO Module might be installed as either
IOM1 or IOM2.
Most boards have only one IO Module connector. In any case, an IO Module Type and following
options section will only appear when an IO Module is installed, and a second IO Module Type
and options section will only appear if there are two IO Modules installed.
For details about the NIC hardware configuration for a specific board, see the Technical Product
Specification for that board.

Help Text:
Enable/Disable Onboard Network Controller.
Comments: This will completely disable Onboard Network Controller NIC1 or NIC2, along with
all included NIC Ports and their associated options. That controller’s NIC Ports, Port PXE options,
and Port MAC* Address displays will not appear.
This option only appears for onboard Ethernet controllers. It does not appear for onboard
InfiniBand* controllers.
Ethernet controllers on IO Modules do not have a disabling function that can be controlled by
BIOS, so there is no corresponding controller enable/disable option for an IOM Ethernet
controller.
For details about the NIC hardware configuration for a specific board, see the Technical Product
Specification for that board.
