This document provides important information about installing Broadcom NetXtreme II drivers and also describes known limitations of the driver set under various conditions. For further information about the Broadcom drivers, see the release.txt file on the driver CD or in the downloadable Broadcom driver package.
This document also provides information about installing and enabling the TCP/IP Offload Engine (TOE) feature on your system and provides important information about using TOE. For more information on TOE, see the Power Solutions white paper "Boosting Data Transfer with TCP/IP Offload Engine Technology" on support.dell.com.
Installing the Broadcom Drivers in Microsoft Windows
To install the Broadcom driver package (NetXtreme version 10.5 or later and NetXtreme II version 3.5 or later), run the setup.exe file that is provided by Dell™ with the driver package. The Broadcom installer installs all of the available package features by default. The setup.exe file can be accessed by any of the following methods:

Requirements for TOE

The following hardware and software components are required to use TOE on your TOE-capable system:
Broadcom NetXtreme II-based networking device, drivers, and control suite software.
NOTE: Currently, Broadcom 10GbE devices do not support TOE.
Microsoft Windows
64-bit) updated to Service Pack 1 or later.
Additional if you are running Microsoft Windows Server 2003 with Service Pack 1:
Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Scalable Networking Pack (SNP)
hotfix. For more information on the SNP hotfix, see
article 912222 available on the Microsoft support web site.
NOTE: SNP is already included in Microsoft Windows Server 2003 with
Service Pack 2.
Dell™ PowerEdge™ servers with Broadcom 5708/5709 LOM devices come standard with TOE enabled. See your system documentation to find out if your system supports TOE.
Server® 2003 operating system family (32-bit or
Knowledge Base

Installing, Enabling, and Disabling TOE

If you have not already done so, install the Broadcom driver package by running the setup.exe file included in the Broadcom driver package. See "Installing the Broadcom Drivers in Microsoft document for more information.
The SNP hotfix is only required for Windows 2003 Service Pack 1. You can download the hotfix from the Microsoft support web site. To begin the installation, double-click the hotfix executable file and follow the on-screen instructions. TOE is enabled by default once all the required components are installed.

NOTE: Features of the driver package can be deselected, but you must install the
Broadcom Advanced Control Suite (BACS) application to configure and control TOE settings.
4 Installing Broadcom NetXtreme II Drivers and TOE
TOE is disabled through BACS (recommended), the netsh command, or by registry change. For information on using BACS, see the Broadcom
NetXtreme II User’s Guide on the Dell Documentation CD, the Broadcom Driver CD, or available at support.dell.com.
See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/912222 for more information on using the netsh command and registry changes to disable TOE.
If you need to turn off default SNP features in Windows Server 2003 or Windows Small Business Server 2003, an update to enable this function is available at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/948496.

6 Installing Broadcom NetXtreme II Drivers and TOE

Windows Remote Installation Services and Unattended Installation

Because of the unique architecture of Broadcom NetXtreme II devices, there are new process considerations when using the drivers in conjunction with WinRE, WinPE, PXE, RIS and ADS. Dell has provided a specialized driver to enable complete Remote Installation Services (RIS), WinRE, WinPE, PXE, and ADS installation of all the drivers and applications in the Broadcom driver package. For more information, see the document entitled Best
Practices for Installation of Microsoft Windows on Dell Servers with Broadcom NetXtreme Devices on the Broadcom Driver CD.

Firewalls and TOE

Installing or activating firewall applications disables TOE for all TOE-enabled NICs in a system. A firewall application must examine all incoming packets and frames to implement its protection mechanisms. This firewall function is incompatible with the packet-offload operation of TOE.

Windows Network Bridging, VPN, and Routing With TOE

If you enable certain networking components in Windows such as VPN, bridging, or routing services, the Windows operating system also enables IP NAT and IPSEC Policy Agent by default. TOE will not function with these services and disabling these services is not enough to re-enable TOE. You must turn off IP NAT and IPSEC Policy Agent before TOE will function. Use the following commands at a command prompt to turn off IP NAT and IPSEC Policy Agent.
net stop accesspolicy <Enter>
net stop sharedaccess <Enter>
net stop ipnat <Enter>
