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. "
