Gigabit Ethernet Ports

Language:

The server has four auto-negotiating 100/1000/10,000BASE-T gigabit Ethernet (GbE) system domain ports. All four Ethernet ports use a standard RJ-45 connector. The transfer rates are shown in the following table.

Table 16 Ethernet Port Transfer Rates

Connection Type	IEEE Terminology	Transfer Rate
Fast Ethernet	100BASE-TX	100 Mbps
Gigabit Ethernet	1000BASE-T	1,000 Mbps
10 Gigabit Ethernet	10GBASE-T	10,000 Mbps

The following figure and table describe the 10-GbE port pin signals.
