From the Micron site: "Network Card The NetFRAME 9200 features an Intel® PRO/100+ Server Adapter. the PRO/100+ supports Wired for Management v.1.1, offers high-link availability through Adapter Fault Tolerance, and the bandwidth can be scaled up to 800Mbps, through the use of additional PRO/100+ adapters. The Intel PRO/100+ relies on four key technologies to increase server performance and availability: Adapter Fault Tolerance, Adaptive Load Balancing, Fast EtherChannel (FEC), and Adaptive Technology. More information on these technologies is avaialable on Intel's web site at: http://www.intel.com/network/white_papers/optimizing_server.htm.
