Hardware Features
The WAE-7326 has three Ethernet connectors. Two of the Ethernet connectors are
attached to the Ethernet controllers. 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.
The third Ethernet connector is the Remote Supervisor Adapter II SlimLine
Ethernet connector. Use this connector to enable remote server management
through a network. This connector is active only if an optional Remote Supervisor
Adapter II SlimLine is installed.
