• Intel (Dual Port) 10/100/1000 BASET

• Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet

• Broadcom 5709C NetXtreme II GigE

• Broadcom 57710 NetXtreme II 10GigE

NOTE: Integrated Broadcom NICs are controlled both by the BIOS and by settings

stored on the device itself. As a result, the Boot Protocol field in the HII of

integrated NICs has no effect; this setting is instead controlled by the BIOS on the

Integrated Devices screen. To set integrated NICs to an iSCSI or PXE boot mode,

select System BIOS Settings, then select Integrated Devices. On this screen, you

will see a list of each embedded NIC—select the appropriate value: Enabled for no

boot capability, Enabled with PXE to use the NIC for PXE boot, or Enabled with iSCSI

to use the NIC to boot from an iSCSI target.

Configuring a Local FTP Server

If your organization’s users are on a private network that does not have access

to external sites, specifically ftp.dell.com, you can provide platform updates

from a locally-configured FTP server. The users in your organization can

access updates or drivers for their Dell server from the local FTP server

instead of ftp.dell.com.

NOTE: A local FTP server is not required for users who have access to ftp.dell.com

through a proxy server.

NOTE: Check ftp.dell.com frequently to make sure your local FTP server has the

most recent updates.

Requirements for a Local FTP Server

The following requirements apply when configuring a local FTP server.

• The local FTP server must support anonymous user access. That is,

the local FTP server cannot require user authentication.

• The local FTP server must use the default port (21).

• You must use

USC Settings

wizard to configure the network card on your

system before accessing updates from the local FTP server. See "Using

USC Settings Wizard" for more information.
