NIC settings

Auto-Negotiate— Automatically configures the best link. This is the default setting. This option
supports a NIC speed of 10 Mb/s, 100 Mb/s, or 1000 Mbps. The 1000 Mb/s setting is
only available when you select Auto-Negotiate.
Forced Full Duplex— Enables you to manually specify which settings the external NIC uses
when trying to establish a link. Onboard Administrator does not verify that the forced Ethernet
settings are valid on the network. The loss of communications can occur if the wrong or
incompatible settings are used. Forced settings take effect 3 seconds after enabling or disabling
the settings. The forced option supports only NIC speeds of 10 Mbps or 100 Mb/s.
NIC Speed— Selects an NIC speed of 10 Mb/s or 100 Mb/s.
