Configuring Ethernet PCI Adapters

To set the link speed and duplex mode

1.Start the PROSet utility if you have not already done so (see “Starting PROSet” on page 2-7).

2.In the left pane of the Intel(R) PROSet for Wired Connections dialog box, click an adapter. (Each port on a dual-port Ethernet PCI adapter appears as a separate PCI adapter in PROSet.) If necessary, expand a team to access its member adapters.

3.Click the Speed tab.

4.Under Link Speed and Duplex Settings, select the speed and duplex mode appropriate to the port and to the type of line to which the port is connected. Figure 2-5shows how to specify 100 Mbps and full duplex for one of the ports on a U575 Dual-Port Copper Gigabit Ethernet Adapter.

5.Repeat steps 2 through 4 for each Ethernet PCI adapter for which you need to set the link speed and duplex mode.

6.Click Apply to process and preserve the changes. Allow several seconds for PROSet processing time.

7.In the General tab for each adapter you updated, verify that the link speed and duplex settings are correct and, if a network cable is attached, that a link is established (Figure 2-6).
