Device driver considerations
Some of the options available for the BladeCenter unit have device drivers that you
need to install. See the documentation that comes with your option for information
about installing any required device drivers.
For example, Ethernet controllers are integrated on each blade server system
board. The Ethernet controllers provide 1000-Mbps full-duplex capability only, which
enables simultaneous transmission and reception of data to the external ports on
the Ethernet switches. You do not need to set any jumpers or configure the
controller for the blade server operating system. However, you must install a device
driver in the blade server to enable the blade server operating system to address
the Ethernet controller. For blade server device driver and information about
configuring the Ethernet controllers, see the Broadcom NetXtreme Ethernet
Software CD that comes with the BladeCenter unit.
