The server supports four 10/100/1000BASE-T Gigabit Ethernet ports on the rear of the chassis.

The device naming for the Ethernet interfaces is reported differently by different interfaces and operating systems. See the table below for the logical (operating system) and physical (BIOS) naming conventions used for each interface.
