Configuring Teams of Network Adapters
4. In the next dialog box, select the adapters for the team.
A check mark next to an adapter indicates the adapter will be made a member of
the team. Click the check boxes next to the adapters to select or deselect them.
Make sure that you create teams that contain adapters located in different
CPU- I ⁄ O enclosures. One way to determine where adapters are located is to use
the Identify Adapter utility in PROSet to flash the LED on each adapter. In PROSet,
click the adapter, click the Identify Adapter button on the General tab, and follow
the instructions on the Identify Adapter message box.
5. Click Next and then click Finish.
6. When the Intel(R) PROSet for Wired connections dialog box reappears, click
Apply. PROSet binds the specified adapters into teams. This operation takes at
least one minute per team to complete. PROSet closes after processing is
complete. Do not abort the operation until it has completed. Otherwise, you must
repeat the procedure.

See the Intel (R) PROSet Help for more information
about the teaming methods. In particular, if you are
choosing Static Link Aggregation, observe the NOTE:
"For this type of team, you must add the adapter to the
team with link down."

1. If you add additional adapters to a team later, the
system will briefly lose network connectivity. To avoid
this network interruption, configure a larger team now.
2. If a team contains a U574 Dual-Port Fiber Gigabit
Ethernet Adapter, the only supported configuration is
teaming it with other U574 PCI adapters.
