Ethernet Port Boot Order and Device Naming
This section contains information about the boot order and device naming for the
Gigabit Ethernet ports on the back panel of the server. For location information,
see Back Panel Connector Locations.
Ethernet Port Boot Order
The order in which the BIOS detects the Ethernet ports during server boot is
listed below.
Note -
You can change the boot priority using the Boot Device Priority screen
available in the Boot menu of the BIOS Setup Utility.

Ethernet Port Device Naming
The device naming for the Ethernet interface is reported differently by
different interfaces and operating systems. The following table shows the BIOS
(physical) and operating system (logical) naming convention for the interface.
This naming convention might vary depending on the conventions of your operating
system and which devices are installed in the server.
Note -
Naming used by the interfaces might vary from that listed below depending
on which devices are installed in the system.

Note -
For Windows, port names such as Ethernet, Ethernet 2, and Ethernet 3 are
used by default. However, actual port naming is based on the order of
enumeration, typically during operating system installation. Additionally,
Windows allows you to rename the ports to meet application-specific needs.
